On that note:
Matt (Chicago): Rob Neyer brought up the subject of a Bonderman-Bradley swap the other day. Given the weak market for MB, is Bonderman a good flier, given health questions, for the Cubs to take?
Will Carroll: I don’t HATE that idea, but it leaves the Cubs in the same situation they’ve been with Rich Harden for the past two seasons. Pitching depth is not a strength for the Cubs. I think they need more flexibility and need to be in a sell mode.
Matt (Chicago): Do the Cubs need to “sell” for tweaking purposes or a complete overhaul?
Will Carroll: I dont think a complete overhaul is possible. First, we don’t know what direction this team will have from Ricketts. Will anything change or will Hendry still have a free hand? How much payroll room will they have? Will he mind sunk costs? How will the debt service affect things? Will he need to save some cash to build/renovate Wrigley? There’s a lot of questions that have to be answered that the Cubs just aren’t answering yet. I’m not even sure they know yet.
They’re at $120m already and lets assume Harden’s not coming back. If they can save anything on Bradley, they’re a bit ahead of the game. The guy I’d consider trading is Ted Lilly – last yr of his deal, could have some solid return for the right team.
Will Carroll, yesterday.

OT -- CJ on his facebook account talking about starting next year
His status is this:
packing up! driving back to my old stomping grounds tomorrow- time to get ready for 2010.
Someone asked about his offseason conditioning program, and he responded like this:
I’ve got my own workouts that I’ve honed in the last 20 years of throwing and playing baseball. my new task is to increase my stamina and endurance in preparation for slotting into the rotation next year.
I’ve got my cardio program cranked up pretty hard- I’ve got a specialized road bike that I do serious mileage with, and some canyons in OC and LA to train…hills make champions.

Yeah
my takeaway from that was he’s been told he’s going to be in the rotation next year.
Maybe that means Feliz is staying in the bullpen?

So he’s going to suck next year as he transitions back into the roto and who knows if he can ever be a good starter with just two pitches and he’s already 28. And we have no setup man. GREAT!!!!

by benmor78 on Oct 12, 2009 6:24 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I don't think CJ really counts as any better an option for the roto than Holland, Nippert, or even Moscoso.
I know I’ve pondered it myself in the past, but that was before our MLB pitching depth took some strides. Right now I just don’t see why sending CJ to the starters mound and opening up a hole in the back of the bullpen makes any sense. Normally starters > relievers, but CJ hasn’t started in years and is pretty much a two pitch pitcher (in fact, looking at fangraphs pitch values, his fastball is really his only above-average pitch).
Maybe if they’re just gonna look at CJ in some longer appearances in ST to appease him, that’s fine, but unless he comes to camp and absolutely blows everyone away on the starters mound (and then again, guys like Kam Loe have done that too) I don’t see how this makes a ton of sense.
Hank is 7 runs below a zombie replacement at first base. Do you realize how terrible that is? Zombie’s can’t think, they’re slow, and they’re often ejected from the game for eating opposing baserunners’ brains. - Ben quantifies Hank Blalock
by lonestarJon on Oct 12, 2009 6:46 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
We're also working under the assumption...
that there will be no significant free agent signings. How many pitchers started games for us this year? 10? We need at least 10 guys that can pitch in a starting role. That means exploring whatever options are available.

Plus
lets say wilson just shits the bed in the rotation. Fine, put him back in the bullpen.

What is wrong with Harrison?
And in the meantime, you want to move your second best reliever into the rotation so that he can be the #5 starter when you’ve got a plethora of other options available?
That makes no sense.

Let’s make everyone in the bullpen a starter. Then we can have a whole bunch of rotation options next year.

The list you posted above...
doesn’t really include any options that make me think “wow, we better not let CJ try to stretch out and try to move into the rotation.”
"Blalock in the cleanup spot makes gives me agita." - Dustin
by benmor78 on Oct 12, 2009 9:09 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
And I left out McCarthy
Presumably, you start next season with a rotation of Millwood, Feldman, Hunter, Holland, and someone out of McCarthy, Harrison, and Nippert (probably McCarthy).
You’ve got Feliz, Hurley, Moscoso, probably Harrison, and, say, Kiker in your AAA rotation to start next season (although realistically, there will probably be a Kris Benson/Sidney Ponson type in the rotation there rather than one of those guys).
I question whether Wilson is really any better than, say, McCarthy. And I certainly think it is highly questionable whether the downgrade from Wilson to whoever takes over his role in the bullpen next year would be (Jason Grilli, maybe?) is worth any debateable upgrade from McCarthy to Wilson.
by Adam J. Morris on Oct 12, 2009 9:14 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
You're the one...
who always says that it’s easier to pick up a reliever off the scrap heap than a starter (Grilli, for instance).
"Blalock in the cleanup spot makes gives me agita." - Dustin
by benmor78 on Oct 12, 2009 9:20 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
But you've got a great reliever...
…and a bunch of guys vying for rotation spots.
Basically, your argument for moving him to the rotation appears to be, “He wants to do it and hey, it is great to have lots of options for the rotation.”
What about Darren O’Day? Or Frankie Francisco? Why not stretch them out, as well?
by Adam J. Morris on Oct 12, 2009 9:22 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
O'Day is another reliever...
claimed from the scrap heap.

If you want to make the "scrap heap" argument
It would make more sense for you to advocate trading Wilson for a starting pitcher.
by Adam J. Morris on Oct 12, 2009 9:29 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm just saying...
that it probably increases Wilson’s overall value if he’s capable of starting. Which increases his value to us, as well.
"Blalock in the cleanup spot makes gives me agita." - Dustin

That's a big "if"
What if he sucks? What if he is erratic the first two months of the season? What if he turns out to be a 5.00 FIP guy who can’t get thru 6 because of his high pitch counts?
And again, what is your likely upside potential with him in the rotation? If things break right, he becomes your #4 starter in 2010 and 2011, then is a free agent?
If things break wrong, you’re bumping other guys from the rotation and creating a gaping hole in the bullpen to create a new problem.
The risk/reward potential just isn’t worth it.

Goes back to the pen when?
How long do you let him suck?
And what moves do you make to shore up the pen to deal with his absence?
And if he probably eventually goes back to the pen anyway, why switch him in the first place?
by Adam J. Morris on Oct 12, 2009 10:14 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well...
I dunno. If he’s better than the Kris Benson’s/Jason Jennings’s of the world, I guess you’d let him suck longer than you let them suck. And if he’s worse, you let him suck less long.

I'll bet you any amount of money that CJ will be in the BP to start 2010.
I highly doubt he’s guaranteed a spot in the rotation and I highly doubt he’ll beat out McCarthy/Harrison/Hurley/Generic Vet signed to a MiL deal they fall in love with.
So, he goes back into the pen having improved his stamina during the offseason. Oh noes.

And the little bastard threw it for a swinging strike three in a 3-2 count. He’s blessed. And ballsy.

Phils are gonna blow this
Hank is 7 runs below a zombie replacement at first base. Do you realize how terrible that is? Zombie’s can’t think, they’re slow, and they’re often ejected from the game for eating opposing baserunners’ brains. - Ben quantifies Hank Blalock

Too bad the Rox are eliminated though
Phils are the last team worth rooting for in the postseason.

You know they want a better closer now
Not worth it, IMO.

As long as it's a fair deal, I think Seth Smith would be totally worth it
He’s exactly the kind of hitter we need. Unfortunately, this org seems to think Murphy is somehow the same kind of hitter Smith is so I have no doubt that my fantasy will never ever come true.

It was pretty damn funny, especially the end
Plus it lifted Amber Heard to celebrity status.
