PrintEven if Belliard does nothing in 2010 he has already pushed his way into Dodger lore with his fabulous September. A September Dodger fans should never forget as Belliard didn't put on a Mini Manny show, he put on a full size Manny show.
Belliard was drafted in the 8th round of the 1994 draft by the Brewers. He made his debut in 1998 and by September 2009 had played for the Brewers, Rockies, Indians, Cardinals, and Nationals. Most of the time he's been a starting 2nd baseman who was adequate at his job. In 2004 he was good enough to be an all-star while playing 2nd for the Indians. Since 2004 Belliard has posted an OPS+ over 100 every year except for 2006.
Over the last three years Belliard seems to have learned the nuances of left handed pitching as he has posted an OPS against them of .892/ 1.015/.897. Pretty high marks for a middle infielder.

Ronnie Belliard came over in what at the time was considered an insignificant waiver wire deal to help bolster the bench but ended up being the Dodgers starting second baseman for all of September, and shockingly the playoffs.
Belliard became the starter by slugging like no second baseman had done since a Jeff Kent hot streak. By the time September 27 had rolled around he was a big reason why the Dodgers only needed one more victory to secure a second straight NL West Division Championship.
When the Dodgers slumped at the end of the year one thing was constant. Belliard was not in the lineup. It all started innocently enough with Belliard collecting his 2nd hit of the game on September 27 in the 9th inning. He hurt his hamstring and was replaced with a pinch runner. Going into the bottom of the 9th the Dodgers had the lead of 5 -2 with Broxton on the mound. If they win they clinch the division a week early. Improbably Big Jon coughed up the three run lead and the Dodgers had to wait another day. Belliard however was hurt and would not play again until Saturday Night. The Dodgers lost every single game that Belliard did not play in.
Saturday Night came and the Dodgers still needed that one victory. Belliard was not playing and the game was 0-0 headed into the bottom of the seventh. Belliard limped off the bench to pinch hit and drove in the winning run with a key basehit, igniting the Dodgers who would go onto score 5 runs, win the game, and clinch the pennant on TBLA Night. It was not a Gibson moment but his key pinch hit should be remembered as one of the clutch moments of 2010.
Given the production of Belliard in September and the slim margin of the Dodger victory, it is not inconceivable to say that the acquisition of Belliard was a brilliant move and was certainly a big reason why the Dodgers won their 2nd straight division championship. A .636 slug% from your 2nd baseman is a gift from the Gods when his career is .418.
In 2010 Belliard had to make weight to make the team. He's done that but yesterday Blake DeWitt was given the job at 2nd base. The expectation is that Belliard will play against some left handed pitching and provide insurance in case DeWitt does not impress.
I'm of the opinion that when a player goes above and beyond expectations there is a price to pay. As much as I was a huge Belliard backer in 2009, in 2010 I think he pays for that magnificent September and does very little productive work for us in 2010.

2nd base
dewitt is not a major league starting player at any base! he won’t hit in important situations and fumble, fumble,fumble! use him as relief yes,anything else will wind up disaster! he’s like the guy who can’t take his ball strikes from the driving range to the golf course!
Evidently
he already forgot the key hit he had in the Cub playoffs and the cool based loaded stat he was carrying in 2008. But other then that he always failed in important situations.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Amazing bases loaded run to start his career
Hits in his first six bases loaded PA (the first five of which w/ 2 outs):
double (2 RBI)
single (2 RBI)
triple (3 RBI)
single (2 RBI)
single (2 RBI)
single (1 RBI; walkoff)
Overall, he’s 6 for 11 with a walk and a sac fly, 15 RBI in 13 PA, .545/.538/.818

PITTSBURGH
My wife has Monday off and I decided to take it off too. Somehow I convinced her to make the 7 hour drive with me from NYC to Pittsburgh for opening day. Any other Doyer fans going to make it?
It could be worse. You could have to make it up to her by spending a day at the mall.
by Michael White on Apr 2, 2010 8:24 AM PDT up reply actions
a day at the mall won't leave me broke, bitter, and ashamed...
at least not as much as Yankee Stadium.
Just make sure you go when they play the Rays
since they are our AL Sister team you can feel free to root hard for them.

in my head
i root for whoever is playing the Yankees. The only time that would change would be if they were playing the Giants.
Exactly
a day at Yankee Stadium, has to still rank kind of high on the list of things to day with the wife. Hats off to your wife.

Prospects
I’m curious as to what kind of discussion (both on here and within the organization) anybody knows about moving Gordon or DeJesus to 2B.
anybody know if that’s something that has been talked about?
As far as I know, there is no plan to move Gordon off SS anytime soon, and any movement of DeJesus to 2B would either be to accelerate his availability or use to the big league club, or rather because of Gordon himself.
I’m anxious to find out the AAA alignment next week; my guess is Hu at SS, DeJesus at 2B.
Why move DeJesus off of short? Between DeJesus and Hu, DeJesus is the one who remains a top prospect. I would think the objective would be to get DeJesus as much work in as necessary considering his missing all of last year.
by Michael White on Apr 2, 2010 8:26 AM PDT up reply actions
Isn’t playing SS really well basically all of Hu’s value right now? Moving him to second kind of diminishes what his strength is.
At this point in his career
He has been scouted enough so teams know what positions he can play, I think he is at the point where the more positions he can play well only helps him.
I could see both of them getting time
at both spots since they both may end up being utility players.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
No talk of moving Gordon to 2B
And both Hu and DeJesus will play 2B and SS at AAA.
If the question is a precursor to whether either of them would be in a position to play 2B this year, I would say that would be a definite 100% No on that scenario.
i wasn’t asking if they would be in position to play so much is if there was any discussion of that – make sense/?
Zero discussion about moving Gordon to 2nd base
any speculation on him has centered on the possibility he’d make a kick ass center fielder.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this alignment:
Inland Empire SS: Gordon
Chattanooga SS: DeJesus
Albuquerque SS: Hu
I would be surprised since
DeJesus was optioned to AAA and Gordon has been playing with the AA team all spring
That seems like a big jump for Gordon (not saying that you are wrong of course.) After rushing Lambo last year and possibly “setting him up to fail” by moving him straight to AA, I would think the org would be cautious about doign the same thing with Gordon.
by Michael White on Apr 2, 2010 9:20 AM PDT up reply actions
Gordon is about 4 months older than Lambo
And he will be 22 in April. Lambo was playing in AA at age 19/20. Comparing those two, Gordon was playing Rookie Ball at the same age.
Fun stats…from Jason Collette:
Just sick….combine winter ball and spring training and Liriano has a 94/12 strikeout to walk ratio in 68.2 IP
Belliard
He’ll be a bust. There to keep Manny happy and provide the occasional pinch-hit, but his overall numbers will be weak. Reed Johnson will be a much more productive spot starter.
Anyone have the new Sports Illustrated?
The Baseball Preview. In the page on the Dodgers (who they pick to finish 2nd) their featured player to keep an eye on is Billingsley, but just as interestingly they have Chin Lung Hu in the sidebar. Writer basically says he deserves a shot on the big league team. Was kind of interesting to see him get attention from national SI. No mention of Nick Green anywhere in the article. :-/

Grant Brohsuis
recently retired from the Giants’ minor league system, but he has written several interesting articles. His latest, for Baseball America, sheds some light on minor league salaries. A terrific read. Talking about AAA salaries here:
The biggest earners among the minor league set fall in to two categories:
Members of the 40-man roster. Players sign split major league/minor league contracts once they’re added to the 40-man, with their pay rate dictated by the Collective Bargaining Agreement. While those in the big leagues earn at least the minimum of $400,000, those on the minor league side are paid based on their experience. First-year members earn a minimum of $32,500 in the minors, while second- and third-year members earn a minimum of $65,000. However, if a player spends time with the big club in one season, his pay rate the following year must equal at least 60 percent of his total earnings from the year before. Factoring in the higher big league pay rate, a player’s minor league salary could be two or three times more than the minimum.
Minor league free agents. To fill the gaps in Triple-A, organizations often turn to the minor league free agent. The most coveted free agents can make as much as $12,000-$25,000 a month, depending on the organization. That works out to a cool $60,000-$125,000 for five months of work.
That 60% rule is not something I new about. Interesting.
I was going to post that same thing
but you beat me to it. I was not aware of that rule either. Based on that rule, both McDonald and X Paul are still going to be making around $200K even if they play in AAA all season

Final spot
Nick Green
Russ Ortiz
Justin Miller
The first two guys are useless IMO. I’m not exactly a fan of Miller, but he’s simply a better fit.
You don’t think Ayala is in the discussion? I honestly don’t know how either Ayala or Miller have done this spring.
Cool. I think the spot should be Miller’s too if those are the only three candidates for the final spot. I would be much happier if they changed course and gave the last spot to Lindblom or Link.
Justin Miller
is the only man in the discussion who has been what you might call good recently.

Base Performance Value
From Baseball HQ:
Pitching BPV: ((Dominance Rate – 5.0) x 18) + ((4.0 – Walk rate) x 27) + (Ground ball rate as whole number – 40)
This formula combines the individual raw skills of dominance, control and the ability to keep the ball on the ground, all characteristics that are unaffected by most external team factors. In tandem with a pitcher’s strand rate, it provides a complete picture of the elements that contribute to a pitcher’s ERA, and therefore serves as an accurate tool to project likely changes in ERA. BENCHMARKS: A BPV of 50 is the minimum level required for long-term success. The elite of the bullpen aces will have BPV’s in excess of 100 and it is rare for these stoppers to enjoy long term success with consistent levels under 75.
Justin Miller – 25
Russ Ortiz – – 4
Ramon Ortiz – 90 (which is why projection systems like him)
Weaver – 42
Ayala – 67

Anyone read or pick-up the latest issue of "ESPN Magazine"?
There is an article where Andre Ethier and Jake Peavy breajk down, together, a match-up they had last year. Ethier doesn’t reveal much, but Peavy’s comments were pretty insightful.
ESPN also had their season predictions; using a simulator 100 times, the Dodgers are predicted to win the NL West over 50% of the time. In fact, the simulator predicted the Phillies/Dodgers in another NLCS matchup, with the Dodgers losing (again).
Also of note was that the writers expected a nice comeback from Billingsley.
ZiPS has always liked Billingsley.
Definitely one of my favorite magazines this year.

Missed this
from Jim Peltz’s story in the LA Times:
Left-handed reliever Hong-Chih Kuo, sidelined by a tender elbow, threw about 35 pitches off flat ground.
I wonder what Kuo’s offseason training program is? I mean it seems like he has this soreness in his elbow every spring, which is understandable, but I am wondering if there is anything that he can do during the offseason to keep his elbow loose and healthy.
I was thinking
getting a clone and altering the tender elbow gene might work.
I think he’s trying to pull a reverse Ankiel. With Ankiel now in KC, Anderson can be the Yin to his Yang.

Alyssa Milano pessimistic
Guess we should give up. The expert has spoken. Alyssa Milano:
“I haven’t been thrilled about the starting rotation for years. You have to have good pitching to win a championship,” Milano said. “I haven’t told management my thoughts. But I blog about it and pray someone in the front office will be reading!”

I know she’s a legit fan and all, but wonder if she could talk to us about who Charlie Haeger is or about their best prospects.

Thank God she’s not yet another special assistant to the GM ;-) She should focus more on her crummy new TV show and less on giving Dodger management her wisdom.

She's not only "Romantically Challenged"
she’s baseball insight challenged and career choice challenged.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
She’s whining because we have a 5th starter type pitching Opening Day and nobody on the staff is a good bet to win close to 20 games. Media types and celebrities identify with big names, unlike some of us diehards.
Can't say I'm especially happy
that Padilla is our opening day starter and Slacks is our fifth starter. I’ll live with it but I don’t see why any fan shouldn’t voice concern. The only good thing about Haeger starting is that he was the best of the options left not because I think he’ll do any good.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Is she completely wrong?
Not saying she’s a diehard, but is anyone thrilled with this this rotation, or Padilla being the opening day guy?
I will try not to keep repeating this but Padilla being opening day starter
is, I’d argue, an overrated thing to worry about and not the same as him being the team’s #1 pitcher. True the average fan won’t know that but the number of pundits who seem to harp on that point as if it reflects the rotation overall is disappointing to me. It’s admittedly yet another reason I wish Torre hadn’t made the decision, because it’s become a distraction, but it is what it is: one game, a decision that will reflect the first week or two’s pitching arrangement and nothing more than that.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Doesn't matter if he's opening day or not
the fact still remains that 2/5 of the rotation are huge ? marks and so why shouldn’t Dodger fans be worried? Haeger beat out the likes of Russ Ortiz. That alone should signal the worry bell.

Last year
The original 5 starters didn’t even make it to their second turn. By the time Kuroda came back, 3 other pitchers started games, one original starter was moved out.
Was the last "ace" or "Number 1" pitcher on the Dodgers
Kevin Brown?
And before that, do we have to go to Orel (1988 version), and prior to that, Fernando.
I never knew he was drafted by the Hornets and traded for Vlade. I thought it was just a straight draft by the Lakers.
Man, seems like only yesterday
the 17 year old was jacking up three point air balls in a key play off game while Nick Van Excel was saying WTF.Multiple championships later he’s had an incredible ride. Lots of mileage on those knees, pound for pound maybe the toughest basketball player I’ve ever seen.

Yet that ab
is one of my top 10 at bats of all time. It is so imprinted in my mind I’ll never forget the feeble swing that fouled off the pitch before he clobbered the home run.

How about this for a trade
In 1968 the Astro’s traded
December 4, 1968: Traded by the Houston Astros with Elijah Johnson (minors) and Enzo Hernandez to the Baltimore Orioles for John Mason (minors) and Curt Blefary.
Cuellar at the time was 31 and not very good. He then then won the Cy Young in 1969 in his first year on the Orioles and went on to win 116 games over six years for them.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Blefary is one of the classic flameouts
ROY in his age-21 (nearly 22) season, roughly the same level for a couple more years, then hits the skids, and is out of the majors at 29. He was a no-glove guy, born to be a DH, but the first year of the DH was his first out of the majors. Great walk rates – kind of a poor man’s Adam Dunn when Blefary was good.
I would have liked making stupid bats in the Blefary jokes.

J.D. Closser, Justin Miller, and Luis Ayala are being sent to Triple A, but they remain in uniform for the weekend.
I bet we see Miller
in LA at some point this year, possibly soon.

Torre:
Miller was consistent, he showed he can get both righties and lefties out. Ayala has a bigger arm but he’s inconsistent. Its nice to have people down there (Albuquerque) that we can choose from
Why not choose one of them now instead of one of the sucky players
they will end up choosing? Oh well, it will probably be moot in a few weeks.

Torre on the roster
It’s still between 11 and 12 pitchers, we know what the scenarios are, but we’re not locked in. We’re thinking of what our needs are down the road. It depends on how many infielders we take.
Nick Green vs. Russ Ortiz. I’m on pin and needles with anticipation.
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
I know
What shit. I guess Green is somewhat less useless. I can understand having a more competent defensive SS than Carroll. I can’t see the need for Russ Ortiz to come out of the bullpen ever.
by Michael White on Apr 2, 2010 5:46 PM PDT up reply actions
It should be Hu instead of Green
and either way it shouldn’t be Ortiz. There, I made it simple for you, Dodgers!
But given the choices, I guess I’m rooting for Green.
And the crowd goes wild!
Crowd: “Hooray….”
