Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

So that is how a World Series team is built - Part Two

With the position players done, we move onto the rotation.

Rangers - Cliff Lee was the ace everyone coveted for the stretch run and if the rumors are true the Yankee's were their biggest competition for him. The scuttlebutt is that the Yankee's offered up Montero but we will never know for sure. What we do know is that the Rangers offered up their top prospect as bait and the Mariners swallowed it whole.  Has anyone had a larger impact as a rental player then Cliff Lee in the postseason? Not sure but you can bet when someone says those mid - season trades never pan out, his name will be sure to pop up first in rebuttal.

Giants - Tim Lincecum was the freak of the 2006 draft class. Seemed like no one knew what to make of him, but the Giants shrugged off the concerns of the teams who drafted Hochevar, Reynolds, Lincoln, Morrow, Miller, Stubbs, and Rowell before him and plucked him with 10th pick.

Rangers - CJ Wilson started six games in 2005, since that year he appeared in 234 games as a relief pitcher, doing well enough he was the part time closer from 2007-2009. He lost the closer job in 2009 to Mr. Feliz, and the setup job to Frank Francisco so he said WTF, give me a chance to start. So they did. Viola, the Rangers found their best starter from their own team, in the bullpen (until they traded for Cliff Lee). This just does not happen enough.  The 29 year old threw 205 innings in the regular season after having thrown 234 the previous four seasons combined. I figured at best, Wilson would fill out the back end of the rotation. Little did I think he'd be the guy following Cliff Lee in the post season rotation.

Giants - Jonathan Sanchez  lost his rotation spot in on June 22nd, 2009 with a 5.54 ERA with most of the damage coming via 44 walks in just 66 innings. Then someone got hurt and Sanchez was thrust back into the rotation on July 10th against the Padres for his date with history. He gave up zero hits, more importantly he walked no one, while striking out 11. From that day on Jonathan Sanchez became an integral part of the formidable Giant rotation.  He never walked more then four players in a game the rest of the year while striking out 109 in just 93 innings. It took a while for Sanchez to get to this point, but it also took fellow wild left hander Randy Johnson a while to arrive.  Luckily for the Giants they were patient and didn't trade him for a relief pitcher or right handed 1st baseman like Jorge Cantu.

Rangers - Colby Lewis was originally a hot shot prospect for the Rangers, drafted in the 1st round (38th pick) of the 1999 draft. Lewis shot through the minor league system and was in the rotation by 2003, but the ballyhooed prospect was awful. Not just kind of awful, all sorts of awful, giving up 163 hits in only 127 innings, along with 70 walks.  He was even worse in 2004 when he walked more then struck out so they finally checked him out and found a torn rotator cuff.  He was done for 2005 and the Rangers put him on waivers in 2006 and eventually ended up in Japan.  That was where he started his comeback, and two years later was a free agent that anyone could sign. The Rangers came calling and gave him a simple two year five million dollar deal and what they got in return was the prospect they thought they had back in 2003. 201 innings, almost 200 strikeouts (196), a walk rate below three, a K rate above 8.0, a whip of 1.18 in Arlington? What a trip it has been for Colby Lewis, what a steal he was for the Rangers.

Giants - Matt Cain was drafted in the 1st round of the 2002 draft with the 22nd pick. By the age of 20 he was pitching for the Giants. By the age of 21 he was a permanent fixture in their rotation. From the age of 21 - 25 he has never pitched less then 190 innings, he has a career ERA+ of 128, he is a model consistency when you look at his seasons and ignore the ups and downs of the regular season. He is a horse. He is exactly what you'd hope to get with a first round pick.

Rangers - Tommy Hunter was the 1st round pick in 2007 for the Rangers (54th pick). This was not supposed to be his gig, this was supposed to be Rich Hardens. Rich Harden however seemed to have lost the ability to pitch even when he's not on the DL so Tommy Hunter inherited this gig. Or it was supposed to be Scott Feldman. Anyone remember him. In 2009 he was the Rangers best pitcher. Now he's an afterthought. Or it could have been Derek Holland who I think is better then Hunter but they are in the World Series so whatever I think should just be discounted. Hunter also moved fast. All these number one picks moved fast, and just two years after being drafted was in the Ranger rotation.  He doesn't strike out anyone though you wouldn't know it by the way he k'd the Rays before they knocked him out. I'm not a big fan, this is a weak link, but they do have Holland the direct opposite of Hunter. Holland was not drafted until the 25th round of 2006. Holland strikes out hitters at almost twice the rate of Hunter. Holland will clean up whatever mess Hunter creates.  25th round draft pick!

Giants - Madison Bumgarner Jiminy Crickets another number one draft pick. Another 10th pick. I don't remember the Giants being so bad they could draft Posey, Lincecum, and Bumgarner. Man, I hope we don't have a run as bad as that.  Unless of course it means we end up in a World Series. Bumgarner was considered a Kershaw like talent when he was drafted and was on the fast track until something happened to his velocity in 2009. Whatever it was corrected itself and he pitched himself in to the rotation by June 26th. He had some ups and downs but when Sept rolled around he rolled over the competition. In 32 innings, 31 K's, only 4 walks, 1.13 ERA, an more telling an .590 OPS against. The kid had arrived just in time.

We are only going to see four starters from each team. The Giants have the most expensive bench players in baseball watching these games in Barry Zito. They built their rotation with number one picks. The Rangers built theirs with astute trading Cliff Lee, astute foresight to move CJ Wilson to the rotation, astute free agency signing of Colby Lewis, and a number one pick in Tommy Hunter.

Michael Young came up in 2000

so he’s been in a MLB game as a Ranger for 11 straight seasons.

Today’s lineup for the Giants has played a total of 13 part or full years as a Giant, none prior to 2009 season.

However, going into this year, their first 5 man rotation has 119 or so games started as a Ranger prior to 2009. The Giants playoff rotation had over 300 games started as Giants.

Werth

what kind of contract does he get this offseason? Would you give him 3/45 if you were the Dodgers? Would he want at least a four-year deal? He does solve 2 big issues — OF defense and power. His injury history and age work against him, so it’s another Ned signing that would make me shudder.

Is now the right time to get a franchise player? Is Werth or Crawford good enough, and likely to remain good enough, to be that player that the Dodgers can build around? I dunno.

My biggest fear with Werth is that he won’t put up the types of numbers he did in Philly if he is with the Dodgers. The Dodgers lineup isn’t as good and the stadium is harder to hit in. I still want him, I just fear that fans, media, and reactionary management would sour on him fairly quickly.

by prosellis on Oct 27, 2010 2:30 PM PDT up reply actions  

haven’t we already done his road splits. Philly hasn’t boosted his numbers. It’s not like the Dodgers would be getting their own Aaron Rowand.

by Josie Becker on Oct 27, 2010 2:32 PM PDT up reply actions  

This is not true. His OPS and slugging is nearly 100 points higher in Philly over the last couple years and the split was even more dramatic last year in his career year.

And don’t forget he hits in a lineup where the pitcher is thinking about Chase Utley and Ryan Howard.

by BFDC on Oct 27, 2010 2:46 PM PDT up reply actions  

I agree, and I also admit nolander’s and josie’s points. I AM gunshy about free agency — right now. I think this is the wrong time to be hitching our wagon to any player. I think too much has to shake out with this team. I think one or two years down the road things will be a lot clearer.

That said, yes, that pretty much means I’m waving the white flag on 2011, which no one else wants to do. I admit that I might be wrong to be doing that.

if I’m reading your metaphor correctly, we greatly misjudged our young talent, and should start all over with a new batch?

Basically, yes. There are some pieces that look promising going forward that are under control for a few years, and that should be the focus of building the next good Dodger team.

I expect 2011-12 to be strange in that the team isn’t as good as we thought and the next generation isn’t ready yet. I think the best plan would be to figure out which guys can bridge the gap and be part of the next good team.

by prosellis on Oct 27, 2010 2:44 PM PDT up reply actions  

Problem is this wave of prospects aren’t as good as the last wave (at least, comparing their prospect status then to this new wave now), so aiming to build around a bunch of mediocre to good prospects instead of a group of good to great prospects is a longshot bet, even as betting on prospects go.

I’m as excited as anyone for Trayvon, Sands, Gordon, etc, but Sands is really the only one with any chance of being a real offensive anchor, and his chances of being that are extremely slim. More likely his ceiling is something like Pat Burrell.

There’s that. There’s also the idea of committing precious (I assume) salary space to a guy whose best years will come while the rest of the team is just not good enough. Better to save that money, invest it elsewhere, and spend it when the team is ready for the pennant push.

Of course, this assumes that the Dodgers have a hard salary limit and that the team is near that limit. If neither is true, I suppose they can sign whomever they like.

On whether the Dodgers should sign Werth (or Crawford)

I made this contention the other day, and I’ll make it again:

If you are prepared for the Dodgers’ best player over the next half-decade to be Werth (or Crawford), then by all means, sign Werth (or Crawford). But the Dodgers will not have the payroll flexibility to sign anyone better than that player.

BTW

and there is no guarantee of this at all but it used to be pretty standard that most people thought a player’s best years were at ages 27-29.

So if you think that Andre and Kemp will improve, do wait and see about those two and extend or do you sign players who ultimately will cost you more and be not worth it at the end of their deals.

While it would make it a lot easier for us to luck our way into the WS with Crawford or Werth in left over Pod boy or whatever, I think all of their contracts are going to look pretty ugly after about 3 years.

At least that World Series matchup would have a really good gimmick, and not have to rely on anything as lame as respectable athletes playing really great baseball.”

Vitamin Water
if you ask us, it’s no coincidence that ‘morning’ and ‘mourning’ are only one letter apart. ok sure, there are a few good things about mornings (we’re looking at you, pancakes). otherwise, forget it. not only does a 15 minute snooze pass in what feels like a blink, but let’s be honest, the sound of birds chirping is a bit overrated. so to help get your day started off right, we added calcium and 120% of your daily value of vitamin c per serving. we think it’ll brighten your day. but don’t worry, not rip-open-curtains-with-no-warning kind of brighter.

Grounder up the 3B line. He fielded it, and Michael Young was dead in between 3B and home. He began the rundown back to 3B, but then simply didn’t throw the ball, nor even try to throw it, and a befuddled Young got back to 3B safely.

pic from the tram station 8 blocks up the road from the game, fans coming back from ballpark getting off to transfer to BART, in the 8th inning of a game (just before they tacked on more runs and before the Rangers gave them a scare in the 9th).

But Dodger fans are only ones who leave early.

Not the greatest pic but there were about 100 who got off or continued on the tram.

And I don’t really care, I’m sure they had reasons, it’s just that ol double standard that irks.

Other pitching notes

Tim Lincecum’s Game Score of 38 is the second lowest to ever win a World Series Game 1, only Bob Walk (1980 Philadelphia Phillies) and Ray Sadecki (1964 St. Louis Cardinals) had a lower Game Score which was 37. Both of those teams did go on to win the World Series.

Cliff Lee became the 13th World Series Game 1 starter to give up 6 or more earned runs in a start and the 13th to lose that game. As for any future predictions, the losing team in those other 12 Game 1 starts were 4-8 in terms of winning the series (1931 St. Louis Cardinals, 1945 Detroit Tigers and 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers in 7 games and 1996 Yankees in 6 games)
