Tuesday Applesauce

by Joe Budd on Mar 3, 2009 10:54 AM EST

Sorry for the delay. I was navigating the opening day ticket system. That was way more complicated than it needed to be, and hence has made this morning's applesauce a little staler than normal, but tastier nevertheless following a gratifying purchase.

Around Port St. Lucie

This whole Johan Santana mess makes no sense to me. Now that the snow storm has passed, get him on a plane and just double check with a doctor. The only reasonable explanation that I have for this is that the story was overblown from the very start and now they want it to be gone for good. But Wallace Matthews makes a good point: the Mets do not have a good track record with this sort of thing. I really hope that this is just something to fill columns during a slow sports time, but I will only really know for sure when Santana is on the mound.

Whoever is left in St. Lucie will be playing the Cardinals this afternoon at 1:10 on SNY and MLB.TV.

Here's more on pitching prospect Dillon Gee. This is the first that I've heard that he has "good stuff." I thought the prevailing story was that he was a control pitcher and his lack of stuff is the reason he has gone unnoticed to date. However, it's hard to argue with that WHIP and the results in his minor league career. I will definitely be keeping an eye on him this year.

Mets Geek presents a composite ranking for Mets prospects.

Remember those runs saved arguments about Rey Ordonez? I seem to remember one year in particular where Ordonez had an adequate batting average and we were trying to compare him favorably to Derek Jeter because he saved us a ton of runs. Well, we now have a defensive player who saves a ton of runs and we still don't really embrace him.

Castro vs. Pudge? If they're willing to trade Castro for something, a prospect or relief pitcher needing a change of scenery, then I would just as soon have Robinson Cancel backing up Schneider than Pudge.

Does Pedro still have a chance to be the fifth starter? I really hope things don't get that bad.

Around the NL East

Phillies fans are getting excited about John Mayberry. Seems he's having an Angel Pagan-type spring so far.

The Marlins are trying to make Jeremy Hermida into an adequate defensive left fielder. The guy's swing makes him worth the effort.

Here's a profile of Atlanta's two youngest invitees to Spring Training.

Around MLB

The Red Sox have already filled their quota for pitching risks.

I'm excited to see David Price pitch for a whole season. I really hope he wins the fifth starter's spot. Let's see how he fares in the new Yankee Stadium.

This would infuriate me if I were a Reds fan. A guy with Phillips' talent needs to figure out how to get on base and score runs, and that doesn't mean just getting base hits.

More Steve Somers

One of the few redeeming parts of living in Washington, DC, so far away from any true interest in the Mets, is that I can occassionally listen to Steve Somers at night when the radio signal reaches here. Anyway, here's another Somers classic.

Happy post snow storm day from D.C.! 5-6 inches here.

I’ll go ahead and preempt you dirty people…TWSS.

Tickets – No Mets tickets, but I was able to procure some Nats tickets (I know, I know. Not nearly as cool). But the opening day Nats game will be against the Phillies and I will boo them and pelt them with the harshest language allowed without disturbing the virgin ears of the D.C. faithful. The process wasn’t too complex w/the exception of inputting that stupid number / letter combination that looks as if they (#’s and letters) are being held back by concertina wire. What kind of weak a$$ security feature is that anyway?

That name…Mayberry – Giggle-giggle. Snort-snort. Anyone with the last name Mayberry is doomed to utter failure.

David Price – Talent and brains (Vanderbilt graduate). Yes, I too look forward to seeing him pitch. I wonder how he will bounce back after a game in which he gets shelled. I don’t see it happening often, but it will happen. I think that’s the true measure of a man. Seeing how he performs ‘after’ getting his a$$ kicked.

Too-da-loo friends!

" (Stewie) Wait a minute. Germany is building WMD's? Then, why doesn't America go in there and kick their a$$e$? (Brian) I don't know. Maybe it's because they don't have any oil? (Stewie) Ohhhhhhh. Clap, clap, clap, clap, claaaaap. "

Santana MRI Canceled

This just seems stupid. The Mets requested an MRI, but then had Santana throw. Then when Santana felt okay, and Warthen and a few others felt Santana looked fine, the team canceled the MRI.

No need for science or caution here – we all played the game.

Yeah, I dunno why you wouldn't still have an MRI done

I mean, you don’t have to fly him up into NYC’s snow-covered airports to do that. Don’t they have MRI machines down in Florida? Even if the team doctor is here, couldn’t you find some way to send him the results electronically if you felt that travel was unsafe?

by JoshNY on Mar 3, 2009 12:25 PM EST up reply actions

Quick notes.

If the Mets doctors screw up this Johan thing as badly as they botched the Ryan Church fiasco last year, I will never forgive them.
I like Dillon Gee. I hope/pray we won’t need him to start this year or anything, but I’d prefer him in the rotation to Parnell, for example.
Just to summarize: Shane Victorino<Carlos Beltran. Ok? Can we move on?
I don’t understand why they want to trade Castro. If it’s injuries, fine. But he’s better than Schneider when healthy, so he should be starting relatively regularly, at least against all lefty pitchers.
Eh. Pedro can’t be worse than Livan Hernandez.
Whoop-de-freaking doo. John Mayberry? Please. Angel Pagan>John Mayberry.
I like Jeremy Hermida. I thought for a while we may be able to get him on the cheap during the offseason…
Red Sox have some of the smartest general management in baseball. THAT’S how you build a perennial contender in baseball. Go ahead and load up on short term, low risk, high incentive deals. It’s akin to the Giants in football. The more depth you have, the better. For example, the Redskins signed Albert Haynesworth to a massive deal, while the Giants signed Chris Canty (DT), Rocky Bernard (DT), and Michael Boley (LB) for the combined same amount of money.
That Ray’s rotation should be nasty. I really wanted Sonnanstine over the offseason. Oh well.
I would have thought younger players would understand OBP better than the older players.

The only person who was maybe against that was Manny.

And look what they did. They turned him into a quasi-villain, when before he was a beloved figure in baseball.

"I dunno. I never smoked any Astroturf"
-Tug McGraw

by squid92 on Mar 3, 2009 11:57 AM EST up reply actions

Hmmm. Obligation is a word I would like to stress here.

Manny signed a contract. By that contract he was obligated to perform to the best of his ability. Though the Red Sox refused to talk about an extension and/or future contract, Manny shouldn’t have showed his a$$ to the team and the world via his half-a$$ed play.

Yes, it’s logical to be upset with management because he was the center-piece (as far as hitting goes) to that ball club and he recognized that management wasn’t going to talk to him until after the season was over.

Regardless, if I’m an employee working with a contract that has time limitations and expect a new contract to be offered at the end of my current one, I’m going to bust my a$$ to show the organization that I warrant another contract once my current one has expired.

Now, were the Red Sox concerned about money and a long term deal with Manny prior to the end of the season? Perhaps. Were they thinking about the economic situation? (Were they ahead of the game in this regard?) Perhaps.

Manny showed a team what can happen when you’re not willing to talk. As a result he got the boot. At the same time, the Red Sox learned what can happen when you have one of the most talented (yet immature) players in the game help to ruin your season just because you wouldn’t conduct contract negotiations. Perhaps Manny would have gotten Boston over the hump versus the Rays in the ALCS.

Lesson? Who is hurting more now? Manny or the Red Sox? Last time I heard, Manny wasn’t getting what he wanted. Manny made his bed, now he must lay in it.

by LOUtheMETandNATSfan on Mar 3, 2009 12:15 PM EST up reply actions

By your logic

Pedroia and Youkilis are simply doing their jobs under the terms of the MLBPA CBA by continuing to play in Boston for less than they’re worth. (I’m sure they also know they’ll be richly rewarded by the Sox before they become eligible for free agency.) Is that really something they or the Red Sox front office should be lauded for?

by JoshNY on Mar 3, 2009 12:29 PM EST up reply actions

I'm just saying that the front office deserves recognition

for putting together a product in which players who could make more immediately chose to take less (whether it’s their job or not) because they actually enjoy playing for the respective team.

How many times in MLB history have we seen players on teams jump ship after winning a World Series because they could get better money elsewhere? The Cardinals and Marlins stand out in my mind.

The Red Sox have managed to put together a product that is viable for the long term in a division in which they compete with the most powerful financial team in all of baseball.

by LOUtheMETandNATSfan on Mar 3, 2009 12:40 PM EST up reply actions

But that's the thing

They’re not choosing to take less, are they? Have they already hit free agency and I didn’t notice?

by JoshNY on Mar 3, 2009 2:25 PM EST up reply actions

Sorry about that.

The way I interpreted it from the media (that s.o.b. Steve Phillips) made it sound like he (Pedroia) should have gotten more than he did. Guess I need to study up some on my contract knowledge.

by LOUtheMETandNATSfan on Mar 3, 2009 3:25 PM EST up reply actions

hmm

I think what happened is, Pedroia signed a contract like Wright and Reyes did, where the team locks the player up for a number of years, keeping costs certain through the arbitration years and maybe the first year or two of free agency, and in return the player gets more money than he otherwise would be during his entry-level contract years. So Pedroia puts off the big FA payday for a little longer than he otherwise would, but in return he makes more money sooner.

And, as you often point out, with that “discount” he’s still making ~$10M/year in those years when he might otherwise already have hit FA, which is hardly chopped liver. Seems like the least he could do in return for the Red Sox hype machine turning him into the AL MVP. You want to see a discount, let’s talk about Evan Longoria’s deal that maxes (with options exercised) at an average annual value of less than $5M/year.

by JoshNY on Mar 3, 2009 4:07 PM EST up reply actions

Received

Chopped liver. Now that’s tasty. (not)

Longoria contract. Ooff! Punch in the stomach.

by LOUtheMETandNATSfan on Mar 3, 2009 4:11 PM EST up reply actions

But thats the thing

about guys like Longoria, Wright, Reyes, HRamirez and on down the line. These guys are young and talented but in the baseball world arent due anything contract wise. For what its worth, a team could just go year to year for the first three years of a players big league career and sign them for what ever the annual rate is, then sign them for the next three at the arbiters rate (is arbiter a word?). Teams are finally wisening to the fact that its better to reward a home grown talent than allow them to walk after a few years of service time in the bigs.

So back to the Pedroia example, he did get what the market rate is for someone in his sitation. Dustin received a contract in line with the other guys in a similar situation as his. Same with Youkilis, except that hes actually a few years older and made it harder for the Sox to gauge his real value. This is why I think the Sox havent signed Paplebon to a long term deal too. What is the real value of a young closer who is still arb. eligible? Hes actually the first in his situation…

One last point, if my memory serves me right, Longoria signed his MLB deal at the very outset of being called up. Not many people in baseball believed that Longoria would have the impact or the numbers that he had as soon as he arrived in Tampa. Heck, even Pecota was a bit skiddish on him. So Longoria got a great deal at the time, even though it may appear to be a big home team discount now…

by tbach81 on Mar 4, 2009 10:05 AM EST up reply actions

"arbitrator" is the word you probably were looking for.

but “arbiter” is also a word.

by JoshNY on Mar 4, 2009 11:17 AM EST up reply actions

Disagree on Manny.

The Red Sox were enablers from the time Manny landed in Boston. Then, all of a sudden, they decided not to give him special treatment. They got away with it because Manny’s production slipped just enough that Jason Bay turned out to be a competent replacement (personally, I would still prefer Manny.)

Not saying Manny is the world’s number one teammate, but what did the Sox think was going to happen when all of a sudden they stopped kowtowing to Manny’s every whim? They just have smart PR people (unlike the Mets) who turned Manny into a villain.

by SQUAD on Mar 3, 2009 4:47 PM EST up reply actions

I still say the results were brought about equally by both parties.

Manny didn’t oblige his contract. Result? Manny is currently in limbo in a depressed economy.

The Red Sox didn’t do the prudent thing and address his contract prior to the end of the season. Result? Probably blew their chances at a better result in the ALCS and further more a possible World Series.

Mo Vaughn's Lunchbox 3/3/09

I see some of you Mets fans are residents of our nation’s capital. I’ve always thought about moving to Washington, DC. I hear the government runs this thing called the Department of Steak. Man would I like to get a job there! I’d be all reclining like in my office chair, with my steak pad and A-1 sauce pen, and I’ll call the Secretary of Steak in and she’ll be like, ‘Yes Mr. Vaughn,’ and I’ll be like, ‘bring me a steak,’ and she’ll say ‘Yes, of course, anything else, Mr. Vaughn?’ and I’ll say ‘Yes, bring me three steaks,’ and then she’ll say ‘Very good, Mr. Vaughn. Also may I point out that your necktie is a steak,’ and I’ll be all, ‘Splendid, Ms Secretary,’ and she’ll be like, ‘Will that be all then, Mr. Vaughn?’ and I’ll be like, ‘Yes, just bring me twelve steaks,’ and then the Secretary of Steak will leave and I’ll start eating my necktie steak and I’ll be like ‘Om nom nom this is the best the necktie steak ever!’

Haha, thats exactly what it would be like if I moved to Washington, DC!
