I know, but Swisher is signed at WELL below market value.

And can play multiple positions. And belted lots of HRs in pitcher’s heaven in 2005-2007. AND stays healthy.

This.

by Blicks on Nov 13, 2008 3:02 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

Yeah, the conversation, if it wasn't about pitching

has to start with Jackson. And if it’s about pitching, this better not be centered around Betances and Brackman. I don’t know what to think about Kennedy. I don’t like slow throwing righties as a rule.

Marquez isn’t the best “prospect” in the deal. He’s not in the BA top 10 and it’s a real lousy top 10.

I made a fanpost about this but, why trade Swish? He was the leader of the clubhouse, a fan favorite, we just traded half the farm to acquire him last offseason, he’s young, can play multiple positions, and I thought he would’ve been the 1B of the future. He looked so much better than Paulie. I thought they should’ve traded Dye over Swish. Dye is at the tail end of his career and why not trade him now while he could still fetch some good value…a lot more than Swish could bring back I’m sure. Thoughts?

KG in a chat yesterday about Betances:

"Dave (Toronto): Safe to assume one of those pitchers that will be ranked above Brackman is Betances? Was his 2nd half improvement in control for real or can we expect regression in High A?

Kevin Goldstein: It’s safe to assume that yes, but I do have my concerns. Ugly mechanics combined with getting some kind of arm soreness every year is just a bad, bad, bad combination."

That doesn’t sound good. He completely went to town on Brackman too:

“I’m still not a believer. He’ll make the top 11, but there will be other pitchers ahead of him. It’s hard to ignore the ceiling, but at the same time, he’s 23, has never pitched in a pro game other than Hawaii, has a TJ, and has no record of sustained success ANYWHERE, EVER as an amateur. That’s way too many red flags for me. People who have seen him in Hawaii are saying the same stuff they said when he was an NC State. Love the body and the velo, but after that, not much else to love. Not a big fan.”

KG on Ian Kennedy, from "Two Steps Back, AL"

“Desperate for starting pitching, the Yankees were unable to get it from Ian Kennedy, who continued to dominate in the minors, but had an 8.17 ERA in ten big-league games due to command problems that were surprising for a pitcher who depends on nearly perfect location to succeed.”

John Manuel on Marquez

chat earlier in the week. No mention of a Nunez anywhere
Q:
John, is this just normal development with Jeff Marquez or should there be some concern at his struggles in AAA and in the AFL? Will he be in the 11-20 range when my book arrives?
A:
John Manuel: I wouldn’t say it’s normal development; he’s a sinker-slider guy, and he’s affected by poor defense behind him, but he did not make the development steps that he started to make last year with his curveball and changeup. I was higher on him than most last year and he didn’t quite make me look good this year, did he?

Swish was late-inning only at season’s end and looked bruttal – BRUTAL – at the plate. When I saw him in Tampa he was the most disappointing guy in the lineup. He’s like the Japanese stock market – a long “L” pattern re: performance for the next 10 years.

About Nunez:

"
Nunez, 22, came to the Nationals organization from the Dodgers in the 2006 Marlon Anderson trade. He went 4-6, 4.05 last year at low Class A Hagerstown in his steady full-season debut, which he spent almost exclusively as a starter. But Nunez struggled to maintain his velocity late into games and lacked a quality third pitch, so a move to the bullpen seemed inevitable. He advanced to high Class A Potomac to start this year, going 2-8, 5.22 with 82 strikeouts and 21 walks in 81 innings over 21 appearances (17 starts). Nunez has worked out of the bullpen since earning a midseason promotion to Double-A Harrisburg, going 0-0, 1.13 in eight innings. He profiles as a middle reliever down the road, with a lively, sinking fastball that tops out at 94 mph and an improving slider from a low three-quarters arm slot."

Bad Bad trade

and I think KW is a great GM. Even if you don’t like the guy you can’t trade him at his lowest ebb. It would be incredibly unusual for someone that had Swisher’s career to be done at 28 after one bad year. The guy is Much more likely to post an .850 OPS than repeat his performance of last year. Horrible.

I think we ought to call Thome and Konerko the "Cholesterol Brothers" because of the way they clog the bases.

Most draft picks don't pan out though.

Poreda is a really, really good prospect.

Poreda > 2 draft picks.

This.

true

just trying to think of something that makes our team better for 09.

but roberts is a free agent after this year, i don't think we're going to give up a future starter for a 1 year rental

bring on the firing squad, as cheat suggested, if that happens

how you figure?

His stats are as good as Fields -- that's the sad thing

This HAS to be

part of something much bigger than a rift between Swish and the Sox. At least I hope it is. AT LEAST BE A PRECURSOR!

that's the thing

not very much. kenny already said he wasn’t going to be in center in 09, so that meant he was ditching either dye or swisher. one win above replacement is 2.4 mill and Swish was owed 5.3 next year and he projects as a half win above replacement just with the glove in RF.

does that mean he's even more stellar in right than dye?

dye is a full win worse than swish in right.

the last time i felt this way about a kenny trade was probably the lee-podsednik deal

which i really didn’t get at the time, but understand now.

Just confused here..

I can’t really question KW after Danks, Floyd, Q, Ramirez, etc.. but goodness. Swisher really must have shown scouts he can’t hit anymore. Maybe they decided he was on the juice.
