No news not bad news regarding Garcia
All quiet on the Freddy Garcia front on Monday, but look for the free-agent starting pitcher to make a decision sometime this week.
There has been some speculation that the White Sox are no longer interested in Garcia after they signed another injury-prone veteran Bartolo Colon last week. That’s not necessarily true.
Given Colon’s physical troubles over the past three seasons, there is still plenty of interest in Garcia on the South Side. And even if Colon does manage to stay off the disabled list, they still need a No. 5 starter.
As it looks now, the White Sox, Mets and Rangers are still in on the big right-hander, with the Yankees’ interest fading.

Penny for your thoughts Cheat.....
What do you think about us signing Freddy?
even with his "shoulder tightness"
Garcia’s a better bet than Colon to throw 150 innings, but I think that Colon’s a better bet to have an above average ERA…
He’s not worth more than $2.5M guaranteed (the Redding contract) but I’d be willing to give him some added incentives.
AIM: SouthSideCheat
Yeah, I can't imagine he'd match the Redding deal....
I’m thinking 1.5 mil guaranteed with incentives up to 4 mil.
Let the Mets sign him
He’d be more valuable to the Phillies that way than he ever was while he pitched for them.

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
They need to make a box that delays the TV
My TV is faster than the radio. So when I’m listening to Joniak and Thayer while watching Bears games, they’re talking about something that happened five to ten seconds ago on the TV.
they do, its called TIVO
you hit pause on the first whistle.
then you hit play when you hear it on WBBM.
problem solved.
We wont have to worry about that with the Sox this year. I think Stone can keep Hawkeroo in check. As much as I like Farmer, I dislike DJ so the radio offers no refuge.

but overall I fear they will be unhealthy, fat (Colon) and possibly high (Big Game Freddy).
Then we’ll get a healthy dose of platooning.

You think most teams could match Colon / Garcia / Contreras out of their 4 / 5 spot? If you ask me that strikes more fear than what a lot of teams are throwing out there. Looking for between 15 – 20 starts from each, assuming Poreda / Richard can split 5 – 10 starts each and you’re still better off then a lot of teams.
Assuming we did get Garcia, I’d be much more worried about Floyd & Danks repeating than I would about those guys.
by Grinder in Training on Jan 20, 2009 8:52 AM CST up reply actions
I for one am against getting Garcia
The plan is to get younger, or so I hear. I think the development of another starting pitcher in 2009 is a crucial element to this. Running out Garcia, Colon and possibly Contreras in the second half doesn’t really conform to the plan. Using Garcia, Colon or Contreras at #4 is okay to try and have some stability or a veteran at the end of the rotation – but I think the further development of Poreda, Richard, Marquez, Broadway, etc. – at least one of those guys this year is a must and should be done at the #5 spot.

Well I am for trying to win
If the Sox fall out of contention those old guys, Garcia, Colon or Contreras (assuming he’s ready to go) are not that difficult to move to allow the youngings to pitch. On the other hand, initially they certainly might allow the Sox to battle for the division. Isn’t that the point?
Signing any of them to 1 year deal is not impeding the Sox plan. I don’t see your point.

Of course I am for winning
but, I think I would rather have a young prospect getting developed into a starter at the ML level than Colon and Garcia #4 and #5.
I also don’t think Garcia is a better option than the best of our list of younger potential starters.

by BobbySouthSide on Jan 20, 2009 10:25 AM CST up reply actions
The best of our young potential starters isn't ready.
I’m not for putting my star prospect into the bullpen where he can’t work on his secondary pitches, or into the rotation before he is ready.
Signing a guy to a cheap contract does nothing to hurt our young guys. Best case he does great, we win the AL Central, worst case he lightened the load of our young rotation. It’s a no lose situation. If Richard, Broadway or Marquez actually are better ptichers they’ll get the spot.
Who is a better option than a healthy Freddy Garcia at this point in their career? Not one of those guys can pitch as well as a healthy Garcia or Colon right now if they are healthy.
by Grinder in Training on Jan 20, 2009 10:44 AM CST up reply actions
Poreda isn't ready . . .
Marquez sucks . . . Richard might be ready, but its not like he would be hurt by some mor time at AAA . . . he only had 130 innings above A+ before being called up last year. And I think he is going to be a reliever anyway, a role he is probably ready for now.
I guess I am really in the minority
on this one. I don’t think big game Freddy has much left in that arm. Sure, he can have a couple of succesful spot starts – but over a season or even a half a season, I am doubtful.
Marquez might suck, but I have to give Kenny and Coop the benefit of the doubt until I actually see him suck. Richard, I thought showed some glimpses of having something. Poreda isn’t that far off.
I just think signing Freddy and Colon is a mistake (while having Count coming back hopefully after the AS break). Signing Colon, shut the door on Freddy in my opinion.

Freddy doesn’t need to start a full season to be useful. So instead of Freddy and Colon, you want Clayton Richard and Aaron Poreda to throw 150 – 200 innings?

Well Im not sure about that.
Unless you are referring to innings pitched. PECOTA has not weighed in yet but the other projection systems don’t agree.

iirc, something like .2 better ERA, .1 better WHIP, similar IP.
richard’s numbers were around 4.35 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. shandler loves a groundball pitcher. i’d call it basically the same projection given the vagaries of such things. the comments on both were favorable, noting the upside of both (obviously for different reasons).

Even better. I’d love to have both then and Richard certainly wouldn’t be somehow retarded in growth.

I am all for having an open competition for the “mop up” bull pen role. I would rather develope Richard a little more as a starter in the minors until Phreddy or Colon gets hurt. McDougal and Count (when he comes back) can take the 6th inning.

I’m suggestedColon and Freddy should start for us and that I also want the young guys to develop more. Bobby is suggesting that we shouldn’t have signed Colon and shouldn’t sign Freddy. I was just suggesting what would happen if we did have Richard start (not a scenario I want to see yet).

Surgery.
He missed all of 2008. I think technically he’s still under control of the Sox, but I really doubt he figures in their plans at all.
Ideally, Richard follows the Mark Buehrle career path and relieves for a while before ending up in the rotation, but that’s probably too optimistic. I’m thinking that even if both Colon and Garcia are on the team, we’ll see plenty of Clayton Richard.

if richard is in the rotation I would like the sox to acquire someone to do the mopping up. Leave Poreda alone, starting pitching is much more valuable than relief pitching. I would hate to see Poreda pitching during mop up time and turn into adam russell.

Thats a rare occurance
To develop an ace they usually are starters throughout their career, Buehrle is an exception. I know I just read something to back this up, but I cant find it in my internet history cache, so it must have been in actual print, I think in the Ron Shandler 2009 baseball forecaster except I just read that at Barnes and Noble waiting for the wifey. Maybe Lar can fill in the blanks since it sounds like he has a copy, but the jist of it is that to develop an Ace, you need to give him starts for the development to occur.

ace came into the discussion via gus.
you said pretty good. again, regardless, there is nothing wrong with a pitcher of whatever level honing their craft in the bullpen.
what gus was referring to is that “ace” level pitchers rarely start in the majors as relievers (though obviously there are exceptions). i imagine we can all figure out intuitively why but, in case we can’t, it’s because those guys are so fucking good they don’t really need to hone their craft – they’re already able to get major leaguers out even with their skills comparatively underdeveloped. poreda, however, is not likely to be an ace pitcher.
I never thought this day would ever happen. I won't have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won't have to worry about paying my mortgage.
It's my mistake, anyway
He cited Buehrle as an exception. That’s what I get for trying to post between tasks.
EVERYBODY PICK US FOR 3RD OR 4TH SO I DINK WE DOIN POOTY GOO
Sox Machine
note that, of course, one reason for a guy like santana being a reliever was because he was a rule 5 draftee.
halladay was primarily a starter who pitched out of the bullpen sometimes because he was horseshit as a starter but the jays didn’t want/need to send him to the minors.
I never thought this day would ever happen. I won't have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won't have to worry about paying my mortgage.

I prefer Twins were just goofs. At least for the amount of time he remained one.

not sure anyone could have predicted that his changeup would develop as much as it did when they did send him back to the minors in 2002
and the twins did have some other guys they were attempting to develop in 01 while also staying competitive and limiting exposure to their backend by basically going with a modified 4 man rotation. i’d agree regarding 2003, though. joe mays got way too much rope that year.

translations for the latest cubans
the gist:
Viciedo:
The translations are those of a good major league third baseman, but not those of a major star—in part because his EqAs have remained the same at ages where you’d expect them to move up significantly.
Marti:
A guy who’s half a run worse than Contreras is a legitimate major league pitcher, if not a particularly notable one.
Gomez:
he is regularly described as fast despite the complete lack of stolen bases; it’s not as if stolen bases are a rarity in Cuba, since four of his 2007 Industriales teammates stole 15 or more. That makes me suspect that he doesn’t really have much speed at all, which also calls into question just how good a fielder he could be. He does look like he could be a good leadoff man to me, albeit not in the typical BP style.

Thanks for the info
I like the possibility of Viciedo turning out to be a solid 3rd baseman – how is he in the field?
What is the story with Marti and Gomez? Last I heard the Yankees were looking at them. Marti sounds like he would be a nice pickup.

Did you see the video that was posted a while back?
if not, try and find it on youtube. Suffice to say I’ll be pretty shocked if Viciedo sticks at third, not necessarily because he looked bad out there — all he was doing was taking routine grounders at third, nothing more — but just how awkward it looked to see a 6"4, 230 pounder (?) there. I’m guessing first, left or (if he’s athletic enough) right are all more likely.
do you find it awkward to watch scott rolen or troy glaus play third?

as additional info, clay now rates the cuban league as equivalent to high a-ish now.
I never thought this day would ever happen. I won't have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won't have to worry about paying my mortgage.
is that a downgrade? wasn't it AA last year?
or is the downgrade (if it is) because so many are here now/soon?
"A good cigar is like a beautiful chick with a great body who also knows the American League box scores. "

quite a few years ago now, probably 2003.
clay said it was like the ny-penn league. so short season A ball. he said the change was because of betancourt and ramirez doing well. take the translations for what they’re worth if two guys with five seasons worth of US data can cause such a bump.
I never thought this day would ever happen. I won't have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won't have to worry about paying my mortgage.
For those of you who don't subscribe to BP....
he IS regarded as a good centerfielder, despite Davenport’s reservations. If the price is deemed tolerable, this is a guy they should be signing.
nate mclouth is also regarded as a good centerfielder.
clay notes the reason why one might question such an assessment of a 29 year old who apparently either lacks speed or is totally afraid of using it on the basepaths.
I never thought this day would ever happen. I won't have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won't have to worry about paying my mortgage.
I understand.
This is the kind of guy they should really be giving a lot of thought. He pretty much comes close to having the closest profile of a major team need AND may be affordable…..good centerfielder who looks capable of a realistic chance of providing a .350 OBP.
Cole Armstrong - Team Canada, eh
Most of the prospects on Canada’s provisional roster are catchers, starting with Milwaukee’s Brett Lawrie. Lawrie was the 16th overall selection in last year’s draft out of high school in Langley, B.C. The team’s roster also lists Boston’s George Kottaras and the White Sox’s Cole Armstrong, but all the backstops face an uphill battle to getting on the final roster, as they’re up against Dodgers all-star Russell Martin and former big leaguer Pete LaForest.

actually i was incorrect hoodie
what i should say is that there is not one paper published in the literature that rejects the scientific consensus on global climate change.
what i’m alluding to is the exaggeration on the part of a maybe ‘3’ industry hack scientists and 1 dead sci-fi writer who claim there is presence of significant dissent with in the climate science community that rejects the notion that fossils fuels contribute to climate change.
i think there’s a paper in Science that demonstrates the case for exaggeration. the author actually did a key word search of “climate change”, which produced close to a 1000 papers and did not come up with ONE paper that rejected the scientific consensus on climate change.

here’s one for a start, I have heaps, you want more?
Whatever your views on Climate change it is eveident that there is massive stitch up in place between Governments using it to screw more taxes out of us and energy companies using the half baked science to make more profits. Look at what the former Enron lawyer Chrstopher Horner is saying if you don’t believe me.
There’s a lot of rich people backing this cause’, says Horner. ‘Al Gore has just raised $300million. Over the past few years, the greens continue to say we receive Exxon Mobil support – and we do not. But where did Al Gore get $300million, far more than the entire sceptic community has received ever from any source? No one seems to care. How much of this is from George Soros? How much of it is from his buddies at the venture capital companies that are invested in a bunch of dogs-with-fleas that won’t be at all attractive until this regime is put in place? We don’t know – and we don’t have a curious media or state.’

is this an observational study that has undergone a peer-review process in the scientific community?
i didn’t know who RM Carter is, so i wiki’d and found this
apparently this dude is critical of the science peer review process, a process by a which any credible experimental or observational scientific study becomes published. he also doesn’t think it matters whether research is funded by the fossil fuel industry, don’t you think that’s a little wacky??
it’s analogous to trusting a random clinical trial study of a drug funded by big pharm. perhaps a study funded by big pharm can produce valid findings, but i’m sure as hell going to make sure that their findings are repeatable in other studies that aren’t funded by big pharm because they’re playing the game for commercial gain which dilutes objectivity. energy companies have a lot to lose as well with regards climate change policy, so of course they’re going to be critical of scientific consensus.
cherry a picking a quote from the article, but this seals it for me:
A former CSIRO climate scientist, and now head of a new sustainability institute at Monash University, Graeme Pearman, said Professor Carter was not a credible source on climate change. “If he has any evidence that [global warming over the past 100 years] is a natural variability he should publish through the peer review process,” Dr Pearman said. “That is what the rest of us have to do.”

I never said I didn't like Kittle.
He, Dotson and Hoyt were my boys back in 83’. Then I found out that Hoyt was on the powder and according to Nancy Reagan at the time – he just couldn’t say no. I then got older and realized that in the 80’s, I think just about everyone was on either pills or powder, so I got over it.
I like Kittle’s bat benches…I’d get one if I have a place for it.

I think I'll hit the jackpot with my new invention/idea!
Diapers.
Not just any diaper…I am talking baseball logo/player diapers.
I would start of with the Red Sox, Yankees and Cubs. I would put team logo, stadium and players inside the diaper. So for example the Cubs would have lets say Zambrano’s face on the inside of the diaper – then when the baby crapped, he/she would be defecating on Zambrano’s face.
I of course would probably have to get approval from MLB and the Players Union – but I could just cut them in for portion of the profits.
What do you think?
