Around SBN: Indy 500: 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing' Set For Sunday

Milb Gameday, May 10th

 Here's some hurlers who have yet to take the mound today .  .  .


AAA- Neil Ramirez, Vin Mazzaro vs Barry Enright, Mike Minor, Andrew Brackman, Rudy Owens

AA Ball - Jeurys Familla makes AA debut, Manny Banuelos vs JC Ramirez and his weird stat-line, Jarrod Parker

A+ and A - Tyler Skaggs, Allen Webster, Jake Odorizzi, Chad James, Alex Colome,  Colton Cain, Enny Romero, AJ Griffin vs Hayden Simpson

 

Already a sensational matchup is in the books, and neither pitcher disappointed .  .  .

 

R. De La Rosa  7  2  1  0  3  8

M. Moore            6  2  0  0  4  7

 

Trying to find any reasong, or evidence, that one of these guys should be the #13 prospect and one should be the #136 one (the pre-season concenceus on Moore and De La Rosa) but, Im having trouble. If one is #13, the other should be #14 I would think. Something to discuss maybe?



Martin Perez  6 3  0  0  4  4

Mike Trout went 3-5 with 2 Doubles. Got average up to .327. He may be pretty good ballplayer.

Bryce Harper went 2-5 and is hitting .377. He's hitting .377 . . .just  for the guys who questioned his hit-tool.

Rubby

Isn’t on top because he caught on late. Everyone knows he has a plus-plus fastball, but many scouts were questioning his secondary stuff. RDLR has a plus change up and he’s working on his slider. If you watch his start against the Mariners on Dodgers.com, his slider isn’t as bad as people believe.

If the prospect rankings were conducted right now, Rubby would easily be top 30. No one can argue that.

As for Moore

21 and mowing down guys in AA… He hit his high in walks in this game, but he’s had a great season. Didn’t allow an extra-base hit today and you could ignore the 4 walks to a point, because he’s had plus-command this year.

Throws how much harder than Volquez?

Volquez sits around 93-94 and pumps it up to 96/97 routinely. I think his avg velo is probably Top 10 in MLB when looking at the last three or four years.

by blackoutyears on May 16, 2011 1:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

By the start of next season Rubby will be the Dodgers top prospect and likely one of the top 25 prospects in baseball. I’m extremely excited about this kid. Not only him, but Zach Lee, Allen Webster, and Garret Gould are killing it right now themselves. With Trayvon and Gordon as well the Dodgers should have 6 guys in the top 100 prospects by next season. Very exciting.

Rationale

I’ve seen a lot of #3 type of upside surrounding him. I haven’t seen him myself, but if that’s true, it’d be harder for him to crack a top 100 as someone in the MWL with that kind of ceiling. Withrow’s stuff isn’t really a question; it’s whether he can control it. I was encouraged by his first few starts even if they weren’t loud statements (more strikeouts and more ground balls).

He's having an excellent year at only 19 years old in LoA

Unless he falls off the map I don’t see him not making it or at least being considered. I’d also love to see Withrow re-emerge as well, that would be sweet.

Harper is due to come crashing back down once his .435 BABIP corrects itself

Trout’s GB% has went way down this year which is significant as he is hitting the ball in the air much more this year.

and he’ll still be hitting .300/.380/.600 as an 18 year old in A ball. pretty good, i know.

Why

. . . does everybody have to move up just as soon as they have some sucess? Not picking on you Stix at all but, this is his 4th start where he has been going more than 3 or 4 innings. I’d let him keep rolling here quite a while longer myself.

the Royals have been pretty aggressive about moving guys up though haven’t they?

well i agree with the premise

i didn’t mean immediately. i see him in the Carolina league for at least 2 more starts, but may be no more as long as he’s a man among boys. i think there is a difference between having some success and simply needing a new challenge. and i think if Odorizzi has two more great starts, he will be at that point.

I agree that he is dominating

 . . . and its certainly not that I dont think he can’t handle it. he probably can. I still just like to see a kid have a chance at a couple of months of sustained sucess without breaking his rythm.

I look at John Lamb last year. He got 13 starts and he was dominating just the same. Then again, John Lamb is younger than Odorizzi NOW.

Trevor Reckling

First four innings — 2 H 0 ER 0 BB 4 K 44 pitches

Last three innings — 6 H 3 ER 1 BB 4 K 2 HR 49 pitches

Not a horrible seven-inning stint, but roller-coaster performances aren’t rare for him.

Still, he only turns 22 in a couple of weeks, so maybe there’s still time to be patient.

What is the opinion around here that he will make a solid No. 3 or 4 in the next couple of years?

we (the Braves) seriously need to trade some pitching for a bat

Jar Jar? Lowe? Heck, Hanson? We could get some SERIOUS talent for Tommy. Jar Jar seems the most logical. To the Red Sox for Kalish + Garin Cecchini? Kalish can play LF and take over next year when Prado moves to 3B (after Chip’s retirement?). Cecchini seems like a Braves player.

by apoxonbothyourhouses on May 11, 2011 4:33 AM EDT up reply actions  

Kalish has a bad throwing shoulder right now, may require surgery. Cecchini can’t be traded until after mid-August.

More importantly, that’s a horrible trade for the Braves. Hanson could bring back a lot more than that but I’d think they’d be trying to trade Lowe (not much return unless they pay a lot of his remaining salary) or Jurrjens (more return but he’s also more questionable from a durability POV).

by Dorn on May 11, 2011 8:22 AM EDT up reply actions  

I read that Kalish planned to make it back in a month (that was at the end of April)

Has there been anything put out there since?

And if the Braves did acquire Kalish, I would definitely put him in CF.

I hope they are, but everyone would need to develop and the team would actually need to spend a few bucks too. The odds aren’t in the Royals favor.

by JD Sussman on May 11, 2011 8:43 AM EDT up reply actions  

I don't necessarily agree with this

I don’t think you have to say that “everyone needs to develop”, because they are very deep and have a lot of near major league ready talent. I’m not saying they are going to be the best team in the division right away. But their pitching will improve greatly when they get some of these guys up there. Moustakas and Hosmer have the look of a 3-4 hitter combo most teams would envy. Billy Butler has shown he’s a good hitter. Gordon has been looking better. Fill in around your best hitters with guys like Cain, Escobar, Aviles, etc. and focus on the pitching, and I think that’s what a championship club looks like (unless you buy your roster like the Yankees or Red Sox).

by brok515 on May 11, 2011 9:12 AM EDT up reply actions  

Why would "everyone" need to develop?

Minnesota hasn’t needed “everyone” in their farm system to develop to stay atop the AL Central in recent years. They needed Mauer and Morneau, and then filled in with solid players around them.

KC probably needs two of Hosmer/Moustakas/Myers to reach their potential as All-Star caliber players, they need some of their starting pitching to develop, and they need to fill in with solid players. Glass will never push the payroll up to the $100+ mill level, but Moore has stated they would be comfortable pushing to $70-80M when the team is competing.

113,237,000 >>> 38,176,000

That is 2011 payroll for the two teams. Let’s hope the Royals are more likely to spend in the 70M-80M range, as you said. Even so, that additional $30-40M is a huge plus when it comes to retaining talent and adding talent around the team. Also lets be honest, Joe Mauer is the best catcher of all time…. (or close)

I’m by no means saying it isn’t possible. I would LOVE if they pulled it off.

Let’s assume Mous, Hosmer and Myers get to be All-Stars. They’ll still need to replace or resign Alex Gordon who is entering his final ARB year. On the diamond they’ll need a LF, CF, C, 2B. Maybe they’ll have two homegrown players be average players there, maybe they’ll have none. They are going to have to start paying Escobar soon too. Lets be generous and say maybe half the arms develop and say the other half get to the pen. They’ll need 2 or 3 more starters and by that time have to start paying Crow, Collins, etc.

Even if that very favorable scenario, I’m not sure they are going to whitewash the opposition. Competitive? Absolutely. There are still a lot of holes to fill and not much money to do it with. It’ll be fun to watch, but today, I certainly wouldn’t be betting my money that the Royals win the 2012/2013/2014 division titles.

A cursory review of each teams’ salary in recent years would show this is an outlier year. KC basically cut its MLB payroll in half this year, from $71MM last year. That was in a year where there were zero expectations to compete. Luckily they realized it makes no sense to spend on more expensive FAs that will block cheap and talented prospects. The point though is that repeating the tired old “Glass is cheap” mantra just shows a complete lack of knowledge.

Nice strawman. No one is arguing they are going to “whitewash” the division, win the division for ten straight years, etc. YOUR argument was that there is a “very small chance” KC becomes the class of the division because they would need “everyone” to develop and Glass won’t spend money.

Given the depth of KC’s system, the timeline of the top prospects, and the weakest division in baseball, I think the odds are better than “very small” that they can contend in the coming years. That’s all.

Re

Yeah, I agree. I gave you the point on their salary being 70-80 million, no? That till isn’t near the Twins.

The point though is that repeating the tired old "Glass is cheap" mantra just shows a complete lack of knowledge.

I don’t know what that means, sorry.

I don’t think I created a strawman. When brok said they would be the “class of AL Central”, I took that to mean the best team by far. Could I be wrong? Absolutely. But, usually that saying means the top. No?

I think the odds are better than "very small" that they can contend in the coming years.

I mean, I’m pretty sure I say explicitly that they would absolutely contend… Did you read what I wrote or just copy it for effect? My point about the small chance was predicated on the interpretation of “class of AL Central” to mean the best. Clearly, I didn’t interpret it to mean compete, because I conceded that they would compete.

I don’t know what else to say…

The Rangers spent $65M on payroll last year

The template is there for teams with strong farm systems to compete with solid acquisitions and a little luck. The Padres won 90 games with a $38M payroll, the Reds and Braves won 91 spending $76M and $83M, and the Rays won 96 spending $73M. No reason the Royals can’t reach that payroll range.

To add

The term “for a while to come.” In the phrase, " I wouldn’t be surprised if the Royals were the class of the AL Central for a while to come," has implied dynasty/dominance element to it. I may have been mistaken, but I was more than justified in relying on those words to formulate my point.

I looked it up on Cots, FWIW

Alex Gordon LF:
1 year/$1.4M (2011) – re-signed by Kansas City 1/14/11 (avoided arbitration)
1 year/$1.15M (2010) – re-signed by Kansas City 1/19/10 (avoided arbitration)
1 year/$0.457M (2009)- re-signed by Kansas City 2/25/09 ($243,600 in minors)
1 year/$0.406M (2008)- re-signed by Kansas City 3/2/08 (split contract)
1 year/$0.38M (2007)- contract purchased by Kansas City 4/07
drafted by Kansas City 2005 (1-2) (Nebraska)
ML service: 3.092

That looks like one year left (5 contracts out of a possible 6), though I guess it could be two given the service time.

I just figured that Mous is already a talented player who takes a bit to warm up each season. Combine this with seeing his cohort gtting called up, and he’ll want to join the party as well – soon!
