Sox Sign Putz - 1 year / $3million
One year to the Dec. 11 date of J.J. Putz being part of a three-team deal sending him to the New York Mets, the right-hander agreed to terms with the White Sox on a one-year, $3-million contract. Putz, 32, is 23-19 with a 3.24 ERA, 103 saves and 356 strikeouts covering 337 career relief appearances and 352 1/3 innings pitched over seven Major League seasons.
Putz figures to take over Octavio Dotel's role as part of the late-inning setup crew, but when healthy, he also gives the White Sox another healthy option to close behind Bobby Jenks. From 2006-07, Putz ranked among the Major League relief leaders in strikeouts (2nd, 186), ERA (3rd, 1.86), saves (3rd, 76) and opponents average (4th, .182). His best season came in 2007, when he finished 6-1 with a 1.38 ERA and career-high 40 saves in 42 chances for the Mariners.

I read Kenny's comments
He said the’ve never been more pleased with their staff from starting to the rotation
Like most of us assume a leadoff hitter isn't that important.
But not all of us…
"his ballerness could not be stoped which rose his era to 5.42 "
How so?
I don’t have the numbers in front of me, but I am certain that the average player batting 3 through 6 makes more than average player batting 1.
who cares who makes more?
I don’t understand the logic of not wanting a quality lead-off hitter. Isn’t it nice to have a guy getting on base for the big hitters?
can you please cite where in the mlb rulebook it says one guy hits first for all nine innings?
These events have me frightened and on the verge of evacuating my bowels.
by thatshortkid on Dec 11, 2009 3:40 PM CST up reply actions
What are you talking about?
The sole purpose of the lead-off hitter is to get on base for batters 2-5. They get more ABs than the lower in the order hitters so their job is more important.
because it's nobody else's job to get on base for the people hitting behind them?
These events have me frightened and on the verge of evacuating my bowels.
by thatshortkid on Dec 11, 2009 3:52 PM CST up reply actions
You're right. it's nobody else's job to get on base.
As productive as this has been, I think I’ll move away from the whole lead-off man topic. I’ll stick to my opinion, you can stay with whatever yours is. I’m not sure how you stand on this because your posts are random questions which make no sense.
How does it make no sense?
You claim that the job of getting on base makes a leadoff hitter the most important, but you fail to recognize that it is everyone’s job to get on base. Therefore the job of getting on base doesn’t render any hitter more important than the other
my head is hurting please for the love of god please stop!!!!

all things being equal, you are correct
However there’s a little thing called talent, which allows for those players to reach base more often. They are more important players to the team and bat higher in the batting order.
the alternative being an actual confrontation
of your stupid belief.
2009 is just 2007 in 2008's clothing. - Trooper
quality reply colin
Such a shame we don’t share the same opinion. Naturally, mine is wrong. Now why don’t you go fuck yourself you cunt.
I believe there to be a tight correlation between "Coveted-ness" and willingness to pay
Ergo, the players that make the most are generally the most coveted at the time they are signed.
I don't think anyone is against getting a good leadoff hitter
I am just against ridiculous claims that leadoff hitters are highly coveted without some kind of evidence
you would think that.
Yet there have been several posts claiming that it doesn’t matter, or who gives a shit. My whole argument, from a previous fanpost, was that I don’t care if they re-sign Pods, but I hate the idea of putting Beckham in the #1 spot. I’d like to see him in #3 so he can drive in more runs.
Is Pods one of our best starting 9?
I think not, at least not in 2010. So it’s fairly moot.
"don tink about new jork. jus come in ready to wing de gay."
When people say it doesnt matter
They mean from a mathematically standpoint its insignificant. So while certain Beckham would have more RBI in the number 3 spot him batting first doesn’t really cost them many runs. Kind of the point right?
"Oh well back to work"
Great point
I guess that depends on who is driving Beckham in? I still think that people here under-value the lead-off batter. To me, it’s more than statistics. A good lead-off man can really disrupt the game for the opposing pitcher. It makes them think about something other than getting the batter out. Shit, now I sound like Hawk! I’m done.
Statistics can account for disrupting a pitcher
They demonstrate that there is little substance to the claim. Source: http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/base-stealer-intangibles-part-1/

Wow really Damon?
Olney says the Yankees and Johnny Damon appear to be far apart in early contract negotiations. Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News believes the Yanks will turn to Hideki Matsui, Mike Cameron, or Mark DeRosa if Damon won’t take a two-year offer within two weeks or so. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports says Damon seeks three or four years at $13MM annually, while the Yanks are at two years, $19MM (Bobby Abreu’s contract).

CHONE likes him as a 2.8 WAR player in '09
(13-.5)/4.5 just so happens to be…2.8
alternatively (9.5 – .5)/4.5 is 2 expected WAR. obviously age is a factor, but the point is that Damon isn’t significantly (if at all) overvaluing himself.
2009 is just 2007 in 2008's clothing. - Trooper
Yeah
but I think you’re underestimating age as a factor. Maybe he is worth 13 mill next year (that’s debatable but plausible considering his HR spike may have been a product of his ballpark and his defense was bad) but he’s asking for 3-4 years at that rate. What are the chances he’s worth 13 mill at 40? So yes he is greatly overvaluing himself and will come nowhere near that contract.
Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of.
i was assuming inflation of the cost of a win and his decline would be about the same.
Tango’s standard, iirc, is a half win per year decline and a 10% inflation rate:
2.8/2.3/1.8/1.3
4.5/5/5.5/6.1
That gives an average of 2.7M of missing expected value per year, or about a half win per year.
you’re right that that may not apply to a 36 year old. i’m not that familiar with the aging curve.

Reunite Becks with Buck:

"don tink about new jork. jus come in ready to wing de gay."
Bill James has some nice projections for Putz....
fan projections put him at a .9 war … for a guy who has shown that he can close effectively in the past and is only 32, i think that this is a good flyer taken…
It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.
I think Jenks starts the season with us as our closer....
but where is the market for him if there even is one?
In the NL:
Cubs? Nats? Phils (doubtful)?
AL:
Bal? Tor? Sea?
sure, they'll need a closer in the cellar.
"his ballerness could not be stoped which rose his era to 5.42 "
nah...they should probably throw in Roberts and we can
throw them Gartrell.
In all seriousness...
I’d still look into getting Pie….sort of as a side chance…..I honestly think he still has a chance.
Not for Jenks.
And not so much for anything we’d be depending on. We may get him cheaply at this point, and at minimum, he can be on the roster instead of someone like DeAza.
They seem willing to add payroll.......
I guess if KW could find some prospects there he’d do it to shave the 7.5 mil……and then use that cash to help fund OF/DH/Loogy
Big "IF" but "IF" we hold onto Bobby.......
Liney rebounds to 2008 form, and Putz is healthy we certainly will have what Harrelson always prematurely claims we have had in the past and that’s “one of the best bullpens in baseball.”
"Greatest bullpen
in the history of baseball."
Timmmmmmmmmmmberrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
and thus the best offense
See, this is what happens when the Sox bunt.

That's weak
Kenny signed Putz despite the best efforts of bloggers to derail the deal. They’re devious.
haha, that's good
but we may prevent management from resigning pods

Big fan of this move.
i was awful pissy when we didn’t offer Octavio arb…. but this is a good good signing. Always been a fan of JJ PUTZ! NOW….Get me a power hitter now for the love of all that is good.

Ugh that season completely sucked but i have so many other things to look forward to. GO BLACKHAWKS! GO BEARS! 2010 WHITE SOX!

CHONE has Putz with a 3.79 ERA, but projects only 38 IP
presumably replacement level is somewhere around 4.4. w/ no leverage, that’s about a half win in 70 IP. w/ Dotel’s career leverage, that’s about 7 runs in 70 IP.
the expected WAR for $3MM is (3 – .5)/4.5 ~ 5.5 runs
2009 is just 2007 in 2008's clothing. - Trooper
Figgins thinks Putz is good.

is anything actually confusing
or is this one of those Rhetorical Devices i’ve been hearing so much about?
2009 is just 2007 in 2008's clothing. - Trooper
projects him for 4/7 of a normal high end reliever (70 IP)
if he can’t pitch nearly a full season, there goes that half win
2009 is just 2007 in 2008's clothing. - Trooper
oh my
Putz = 3
Teahen= 2
Vizquel=2
Jones=.5

Dayton Moore is a Genius
Royals sign Jason Kendall to a two year reportedly worth $6 million
I know most people don’t care that much, but it just makes me glad not to be a Royals fan. At least they aren’t going to put Mike Jacobs on the field anymore.
I'll take putz for the same price...
and half the years
It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.

that is a seriously disheartening fucking situation they've got there.
brutal.
the suck is not just a river in ireland.
how much longer do they have Farnsworth?

Over/under on what day Putz comes in from the pen to
“POOOOOOOOOOOOTTZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
"don tink about new jork. jus come in ready to wing de gay."
If J.J isn't hurt I hope he has a good year. Heck now we have two setup men with Thorton and Putz.
Can also give Bobby a day off every so often.
