Danks Dazzles in Defeat

Thecheatsmoking_tiny by The Cheat on in Recaps

John Danks took a no-hitter into the seventh inning Monday night, but it wasn't enough. This is where I put the "John Danks Doesn't Know How to Win" graphic, but I'm just not feeling up to it tonight.

I'm gonna finish off a piece for THT instead. Let's hope Colin can keep his drunken rambling to the last gamethread.

Message from a Red Sox fan

The White Sox looked really strong throughout the series, from the rotation to the offense. Boston had to play well for the split.

John Danks reminded me a lot of our Jon Lester, except with a much better fastball. He pitched extremely well, even against a line-up filled with RHB and switch hitters. Beckett was solid, and ended up with the better line, but for most of the night Danks was utterly breathtaking.

Anyway, this was a great series to watch, and I’m looking forward to when the White Sox visit Boston. These teams seem destined to meet in the playoffs.

This is quite the load from Kenny...

“Pitching acquisitions on hold, for now
White Sox have no immediate plans to for waiver-wire deals”

“There have been some names in the paper, one in particular, that I can unequivocally tell you that I have not made one single phone call toward that particular player,” Williams said. “I don’t know where that came from, because I don’t believe that particular player would be a good fit for us.”
“You start looking at names that really don’t necessary fit the equation and you never want to do that,” added Williams of waiver-wire deals. “A lot of names out there that are veteran type guys that would on the surface appease everyone and say we have that spot covered, but we know it won’t work. Our in-house candidates would be better served than an outside choice, because we’ve trained them to be able to pitch in this ballpark.”
“Sometimes, the most obvious move isn’t so obvious for us,” Williams said. “In essence, if we don’t really believe that will translate into success in this ballpark, and that’s very key, then it doesn’t make sense to do it.

“So, the most obvious moves, sometimes, to the public isn’t the most obvious in all of our research and what we’ve done to determine what is successful here in this ballpark,” Williams added.

Jarrod Washburn (career stats pitching at The Cell):
59.2 IP
3.92 ERA
1.11 WHIP
.224 BAA
49 H
26 ER
32 SO
17 BB

So I guess Kenny should be held responsible for this non-move (a.k.a. we don’t want to pick up Washburn’s salary) if Carrasco and/or Broadway suck in their new role as fifth starter and Washburn has a strong finish to the season. We should all remember this point in the season if the Sox fall a few games short to the Twins for the division.

Some more classic quotes of bullshit from Kenny...

Link:

’’Sometimes the most obvious move isn’t so obvious for us,’’ Williams said. ’’And taking money and contracts out of the equation, for instance, getting a veteran who may slip through the waiver process, it may look good on paper and create a buzz with the fans and may look like we’re trying to fill a spot, [but] if we don’t really believe that will translate into success in this ballpark, and that’s very key, then it doesn’t make sense to do it.
’’You’re better off bringing someone who has been trained in a minor-league system, major-league spring training, has experience in the ballpark and understands the value of two-seam sink on a pitch, changeup behind on the count, all the things it takes in order to translate to success out here at this park.’‘

That second quote is my favorite because it is absolutely ridiculous. I would have felt better if Kenny was honest about it and said that they didn’t want to pick up Washburn’s contract.

Since someone is bound to jump to defend Kenny here, I will preempt them with the following...

This is a guy who acquired the rotting corpse of Ken Griffey Jr. to play some center field, even though he was already one of the worst right fielders in all of baseball. Kenny basically made a deadline acquisition that looks like it will end up hurting the Sox. So far, he hasn’t acquired the pitching that the Sox need—sorry Kenny, Russell and Broadway ain’t gonna get it done.

How could a guy who traded Chris Carter for Carlos Quentin also trade for Griffey to play center field? Also, even if you don’t factor in Washburn’s career numbers at The Cell, did Kenny forget that the Sox don’t play all of their games at home?

Yeah, that's great...

We need more pictures of a sucky reliever. I think a player should actually have to be good before they get a nickname.

I guess I shouldn’t worry. Juan Uribe’s brother, Franklyn German, has come to save the bullpen with his 1.72 WHIP.

I liked Aardsma better than Masset...

That doesn’t mean I like him over a guy like Linebrink though. Aardsma has a bad WHIP (1.40) but it isn’t Masset-bad (1.58). Also, Aardsma can actually strike guys out (9.51 K/9). Masset can’t (6.19 K/9).

It was a good acquisition at the time...

I still don’t think the Sox lost too much with who they gave up (Lumsden and Cortes). It’s a shame that MacDougal is as big of a headcase as Boone Logan. Kenny was acquiring a reliever with closer stuff. I remember because MacDougal had a 97 MPH sinker when the Sox first acquired him and he got it up to 99 MPH. I’m sure a lot of teams would have wanted him after his 2005 and 2006 seasons.

the following is what i find baffling as well:

“How could a guy who traded Chris Carter for Carlos Quentin also trade for Griffey to play center field?”

I don’t quite know how to resolve this. There is literally no evidence that Griffey is even adequate in right. I wrote as much back in my rundown. These things become obvious and would therefore work themselves out. I’ve got a week left in my 2 week span and I’m feeling like that’s not going to happen.

This is due to Kenny's biggest weakness as a GM...

He falls in love with players and he always eventually gets his man, unfortunately, even when they are washed-up. Look no further than Roberto Alomar (both times), Carl Everett (the second time), and now Griffey, who Kenny supposedly tried to trade for two other times but failed. If you fail in getting Griffey when he is still productive, that’s fine. But don’t trade for the guy when he is on his last leg and proceed to throw him out in center field.

You kinda do the same thing, though

You lock in and obsess about a guy days, weeks, months, even a year-plus past the time a player is worth caring about. The Aardsma thing is a good example—honestly, who cares?

Or... the cost was prohibitive.

Seattle’s front office is in terrible shape. They can’t even come to a consensus on which of their own players to extend, so who knows how sound of mind they are in coming to terms with their own players’ worth in a trade. They wanted the Yankees’ top pitching prospect, even though they were willing to take on Washburn’s entire salary. Yankees said “no dice,” and it’s possible they wouldn’t budget from their demands.

If the Yankees have a greater demand for pitching AND deeper pockets AND more expendable talent and THEY wouldn’t commit, that might say something. Seattle’s FO has a a well-earned reputation of being both stubborn and stupid.

But in any event, I’m going to hunker down and try to withstand the barrage of comments about how Kenny absolutely, positively crapped the bed on this one, and how stupid he is and how great the Twins are to have Liriano and daily updates on Washburn’s every start and bowel movement, similar to how stupid Kenny was for not pursuing Andruw Jones over the winter, which you beat into our heads day after day.

Granted, you could actually be right about this, and I’m not opposed to Washburn (unlike Jones). But you have a tendency to overlook other factors, such as the other half of a deal, and I don’t think you know as much as you think you know (I don’t know anything, either). Although I appreciate that you actually did some research into this one.

I CAN'T STAND IT.

I really believe Kenny did crap the bed on this one...

Hell, I hate the Cubs but Hendry struck early and got two good pitchers for Sean Gallagher and excess roster chaff. Imagine how good even Chad Gaudin would look on the Sox in the fifth starter spot?

There were obviously options out there but Kenny must have failed to see them.

At the time SS and 2B were both still big question marks,

he added a consistent bat and a great defender at SS. The rotation was full and no one was a better candidate to be traded than Garland, we got money and likely 2 draft picks. It was a good deal then and is still a good deal. He didnt know that we would suffer such losses in the pitching department but he cant be completely blamed for that, we can still blame him for Masset though.

Research? No.

Research would be looking at the schedule, mapping out when AND where the 5th spot comes up, then looking at both career and season results (if any) by Washburn. The superficial look at “career numbers at the Cell” is hardly research. If that’s all Kenny and staff look at, the
Sox don’t deserve to win… ever.

In two weeks they will win 7 or 8 in a row and you all will have 10 inch boners.

by Chiburb on Aug 12, 2008 7:32 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

There is no proof that Washburn will suck at The Cell...

In fact, the stats show that he might actually succeed there. I figured that it would be a waste of time to figure out how many home vs. away games that Washburn would end up starting since he is automatically an upgrade over Carrasco and Broadway. I don’t see how anyone could argue otherwise.

My point is...

why would I research the number of home vs. away games that Washburn would be scheduled to pitch in if the Sox acquired him if he hasn’t shown to pitch poorly at The Cell in his career, regardless of Kenny’s comments? Also, I wouldn’t even be able to predict the days that Washburn would start anyways—maybe the Sox don’t keep his current pattern of starting if they did acquire him.

You keep trying to argue with things that were never written.

by Chiburb on Aug 12, 2008 8:18 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Whatever...

I just think that Kenny’s comments are pretty much b.s. He talks about “pitching to the ballpark” when it is probably more about Washburn’s contract. Washburn has pitched fine at The Cell. I would rather hear the truth from Kenny that they don’t want to add that kind of salary.

Anyways, at least it sounds like Kenny is still looking for a pitcher…

Link:

Finding a pitcher who fits stands as Williams’ biggest challenge as he scours the waiver wires along with assistant general manager Rick Hahn. It’s not necessarily about the basic act of adding a quality hurler.

If Jarrod Washburn isn’t the guy, maybe Paul Byrd is? He throws a slider and a sinker so he would seem to fit Kenny’s criteria about pitching to the ballpark. Also, he is only earning $8 million this season and he is a free agent after the season is over so the Sox would only owe him the pro-rated $2.22 million dollars of his contract for this season. If Byrd cleared waivers, which it seems that he has, he should be acquired if at all possible.

Everyone in the media (Chris De Luca with the Sun-Times, Mark Gonzales with the Chicago Tribune, Chuck Garfien with CSN, and Peter Gammons and Buster Olney with ESPN, etc.) have been talking about the White Sox interest in Jarrod Washburn. Who else would Kenny be talking about here?

“There have been some names in the paper, one in particular, that I can unequivocally tell you that I have not made one single phone call toward that particular player,” Williams said. “I don’t know where that came from, because I don’t believe that particular player would be a good fit for us.”

Well, I guess Kenny could be talking about Paul Byrd...

I believe Phil Rogers in the Chicago Tribune mentioned Byrd as a possibility but didn’t even mention Washburd.

But to stay in line with Kenny’s comments, wouldn’t Byrd and his sinker fit The Cell better than Washburn? That’s why I assume Kenny is talking about Washburn.

SEATTLE—Upon inking a four year, $37 million contract with the Seattle Mariners, pitcher Jarrod Washburn immediately called his wife, Kristin, to tell her the news. Two hours later, he was finally able to convince her that he was not joking and that he actually received that amount from the Mariners.

"No, seriously, honey. I’m not kidding. I got 37 mil," Washburn told his wife after he signed the contract. "I’m serious! Yes, 37. Three-Seven. Over four years. Uh huh. Yes. I was 8-8 last year. I know, it’s fucked up. You should’ve seen me trying to keep a straight face in that room. I was like ’37 million. Hmmm…let me weight the pros and cons.’ Then I went into some stupid bullshit about how Seattle is a great place to raise a family and I signed the thing before they could change their minds. Jackpot!"

Washburn and his wife were expecting a much smaller deal over a shorter length of time, especially after his mediocre season last year. But with so many teams desperate for pitching help, Washburn was able to cash in.

and there’s also the compensation hurdle. byrd may well be a b. like i’ve said before, do you really see players on the sox that mark shapiro would think he couldn’t do better in the draft? he’s had decent success (miller, huff) with his picks. another team could probably offer more, if they decide to move him. or they could sit on the pick.

I was thinking the same thing, though I suppose KW would argue that a slow (bad) CF is less relatively harmful at the Cell due to the small size of the OF.
