Something cool about that storm.

You’ll notice as it approaches Fort Worth that a new cell moves northward. That is a splitting supercell. Basically, the rotation of the original cell causes a pressure couplet that creates two supercells, one moving left of the mean flow (the storm moving north) and one moving right of the mean flow (the storm moving into the metroplex).

A few years ago a supercell split south of Greensburg, KS. The left mover split again and the right mover of the second split caused the EF-5 tornado that wiped-out Greensburg. That sort of thing is almost impossible to forecast.

but the matchups just weren’t good. Also, he wants OMAH to get enough work to stay sharp, and he should start 3 games this homestand.

But time is slowly showing that if you can get lucky with a prospect, you’re going to end up with the better end of the deal. Bedard just hasn’t held his part of the bargain.

Bedard was plenty good before the trade. Just injury prone.

The main problem with that deal was that the Mariners were not close enough to make a “Sell the farm and go for it NOW” kind of trade.

Plus it looks way worse in retrospect since both of the big guys in that deal (Jones, Tillman) have worked out out about as well as they possibly could have. Plus giving a mediocre relief arm like Sherrill the closing job makes him look way better than he is. He’s decent, but he’s nothing special.

Oh i'd pull the trigger definitely

not because I think its a a steal for us.. just because it fits the team perfectly.

well actually

maybe not definitely. i was thinking it was 2 and a half years left not 1 and a half. and davis’s glove value should offset quite a bit of his bat questions…

but i’d certainly consider it.

the preceding post was a great success.

by DShep on May 26, 2009 8:32 PM CDT up reply actions  

I'd have to do a sign and trade deal.

Can’t see why Cain wouldn’t go for that. But to me, trying to do a Blalock/Padilla+ deal would make more sense on our end. Doubt SF goes for that though.

cain

is almost worth a productive davis. it would jsut be weird because we’d have harrison or feldman moving back to the bullpen with holland already there and feliz possibly knocking at the door. not a dealbreaker but another consideration

has a lot of red flags for such a young pitcher.

by FirebatM3 on May 26, 2009 8:31 PM CDT up reply actions  

He has a declining K rate

a not great walk rate, a bad GB%, and a startlingly bad usage rate.

Yeah, this is the exact type of pitcher I would not trade for.

Theres nothing unusual about his K rate prior to this year.

And I dont put much stock into a down rate for 1/4 a year in which hes still been good.

the preceding post was a great success.

by DShep on May 26, 2009 8:40 PM CDT up reply actions  

His velocity

has dropped this year on his fastball, he threw 3600 pitches last year, and 10,000+ the last 3 years.

He’s not throwing his slider that much anymore. I think he might be hurt.

by FirebatM3 on May 26, 2009 8:41 PM CDT up reply actions  

well, that does sound like legitimate concern

but do you really think he would be bad for the next year and a half? im not that concerned about how bad his health is 4 years from now.

i guess if hes already hurt then obviously thats a big deal, but i think thats a little presumptuous. it seems like ive seen a lot of healthy pitchers have their rates vary quite a bit from year to year.

If it was one

peripheral that was off, I’d be much more inclined to agree with you, but the combination of decreasing peripherals and his awful usage rate worries me.

If I’m trading Chris Davis, I’d want a player for more than 2 years.

I asked that question of Jason Parks awhile back

This is what he said:

Cain is a very good major league pitcher that is still only 24 years old. The majority of the players in our system will never be as good as Cain is right now. I would have no problem trading a guy like Feliz or Main or Perez for Cain. I understand the financial considerations involved, but that doesn’t change my opinion. The majority of minor leaguers fall short of their ceilings and a guy like Cain is already an established top of the rotation arm.

Not sure if I agree with that, (especially the part about trading Feliz for him) but it’s definitely interesting to know that one of the smartest guys I know thinks really highly of him.

Brian Sabean, Giants GM described the type of player the Giants would trade Cain for in a one for one deal— “young, power hitting, good glove first baseman who needs to learn patience”- Talk Show host said it sounded like Chris Davis of Rangers to which Sabean said “no comment”
