White Sox Add Andruw Jones to Crowded Veteran Bench
by The Cheat on Nov 25, 2009 2:23 PM CST
Email
PrintThe White Sox seem to be going about their off-season in reverse. They're lining up their bench pieces to a team that still lacks two (or three) legitimate full-time major league position players.
Today, they've reportedly signed Andruw Jones to a 1-year, $500K incentive-laden deal to fill out the bench with Vizquel and Kotsay.
"This is an opportunity to add a power bat to the roster while improving our outfield depth," Williams said. "With the addition of Andruw, Mark Kotsay and Omar Vizquel, we feel our bench is taking shape to be a strong asset heading into the 2010 season."
Jones looked to have a halted his precipitous career free fall by joining up with Rudy Jaramillo in Texas last season, putting up an .850 OPS in the first-half, but not even Jaramillo could stop Jones descent in the second half when he hit just .185/.310/.333. You could easily write off that performance as simply 100 bad at-bats. But that line is closer to Jones norm of the last few years than was his resurgent first half.
At this price, Jones is certainly a gamble worth taking. He can still catch the ball all over the outfield, and can put a charge into one every now an then. But it would be foolish to think of him as anything more than an outfield version of Juan Uribe going forward.
Edit by larry: One interesting thing to note is that Jones is represented by Scott Boras.

man
I’m glad I wasn’t a GM a few years ago. After Jones’ first down year in ATL, I thought he would be an awesome FA pickup. Instead he got really awful, really fast. Here is hoping for a late career renaissance. Either way, the money isn’t much of a risk.
How is his D now?
just think how much money we save waiting x years to sign big name FA's
Why buy Vizquel and Jones when they’re expensive?
In 2014, we should see Zito in the bullpen.
His name is Rios and he dances on the sand
I hear Lebron will be available next offseason

Reporter: I was wondering if at any point in my lifetime the Cubs weren't going to be run by a guy who didn't immediately remind me of failure, confusion, or imminent death
He's an excellent rebound candidate based on his poor luck:
xBABIP was 0.297 and posted a dismal 0.224.
Well that's somewhat reassuring
Do you know what his numbers were the last couple years though?

by trademaker on May 30, 2009 10:31 PM PDT
i wouldn't be reassured by that.
he’s always had a low babip because he hits a lot of flyballs/pop-ups. that formula is nice but the guy appears to routinely underperform it.
flyballs
are not detrimental if you hit them out of the yard (he had a 16.2% FB/HR last year, less than his career 19.0% rate). He also averaged 403 ft HRs (and only two were of the ‘just-enough’ variety). Thome hit the ball just as far (404 ft avg.)
yes. if you hit them out.
and, please, for a guy who has obviously seen his abilities collapse, career average probably isn’t a great measure.
In conclusion:
1. His BABIP is unsustainably low and will likely go up.
2. His BABIP is low bc he hits a lot of flyballs.
3. His xBABIP is high since he hits a lot of flyballs out of the park.
4. He has sustained his above league avg
HR/FB% even during his last 500 ABs.

yeah. because what is being said in that fangraphs article is so ground-breaking.
how could i ever have come up with that myself? you’re right. his babip should be .300. pay no attention to the fact that he hasn’t even come close to that.
don’t be one of those people who plug in a formula and think they have the answer. use your fucking head when you attempt to postulate something so ridiculous. maybe his babip goes up 20 points to the recent norm he’s established. whoop de fuck.
i only said he was likely to rebound, not meet his babip projection...
…so top making shit up. that said, i’ll take the over on 0.260 and put a c note (those are the ones you tip hookers with) where my mouth is.
better move than vizquel..
but we still need a starting corner outfielder who can hit with the relative frequency of JD.

Andruw is not just a bench player
I think he will be the right side of a platoon dh with either thome, cust or a huff…….this would leave kw with the most money to spend on a leadoff man (insert chone figgins)……

Apologies if this winds up posted twice, but I don't see I if it already posted...
Just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
I am thankful for White Sox baseball and you pack of a-holes as well.
I hope everyone has a wonderful and laid back day eating fat and being filled with gratitude at the same time.
Cheers!

Check last Thanksgiving or Christmas, IIRC.

OMG -- it's gonna be Michigan vs Marquette tomorrow

Manny's got a hamstring
otherwise I’d put a PP on this one.

I'm unfamiliar with Michigan
truth be told I’m also kind of unfamiliar with Marquette. Completely different team from last year. If Michigan has lengthy-and-athletic 3-4 types who can stop Butler and Hayward then Marquette won’t have much of a chance. Truth be told I’m just happy that they beat Xavier — that was quite a pleasant surprise. If they can hang in with Michigan that’ll be gravy.
i'm not super familiar with Michigan's bball team
it’s all about Manny and DeShawn, winning the turnover battle and shooting too many threes.

Defensive change at the end of a perfect game..
Dicey move by Ozzie.
by Grinder in Training on Nov 26, 2009 9:08 PM CST up reply actions
terrible.
they should have shitcanned him on the spot for such an asinine move.
the suck is not just a river in ireland.
So I was at my parents' house helping my dad find the NFL NETWORK BUY NFL PRODUCTS Network and noticed there was a baseball game on channel 37
But kept going because god forbid we miss Giants-Broncos. Anyway, I flipped to 37 whenever the Orton bowl went to commercial, just to kinda get a conversation to the tune of, “Why’s there baseball on in November?” “Oh it’s the perfect game” going. (Preface: Both parents have warmed up significantly to the White Sox over the last year but are more Cub fans than anything.)
At halftime, I flipped over. My mom starts watching. Both of them are totally engorged in this thing when Hawk starts screaming at the end of the 8th, and they absolutely lose their crap when D-Wise makes the catch even though both know this happened and have seen it repeatedly in highlight form. Even the dog knows something’s up. All of us were transfixed all the way through the truncated press conference. I think they’re both fully converted Sox fans now. It was the best thanksgiving evah.

boy, if you look at andruw's B-R page
he is similar to some tremendous players. dale murphy, reggie jackson, duke snider, eddie murray. unfortunately, i don’t think they factor in FAT. then we might see steve balboni, rich garces, and ray king.
the suck is not just a river in ireland.
after all the bitching about Bobby's weight
then they go out and sign someone bigger than him. good lord. they are obviously going to trade bobby because they couldn’t afford the after game spread it is going to take to feed these 2 behemoth’s.

I THOUGHT about front-paging e-gus' fanpost. That's worth something, non? :p
Alright, maybe I’ll post something to take us into the weekend. I’m tired of loading this fatty thread anyway.

or just write something original.
i know, i know. why would you become an editor if you had to actually do that.
you actually invited MORE WORDS from her?
holy crap.
"his ballerness could not be stoped which rose his era to 5.42 "
Only because it gives him a cheap thrill to ignore something I've written.

I WAS doing that, but Cheat showed up and claimed he had something of apparent interest to post.
So we all have to wait patiently here until he gets around to doing that.
And so my boredom at work continues……

Imagine if he were not only fast, but competent at baserunning...
He would lead the list. Did you notice the catcher-heavy bottom feeders as well? Sad to see Thome among them… thought he was not that bad, but stats dont lie, do they?
