Max Ramirez

Given that he’s yet to hit as well as a catcher should hit in AAA, I’d be loathe to make him an every day major league DH right now.

Also

I don’t think Pudge is a better option at catcher than Salty.

by Adam J. Morris on Sep 27, 2009 1:14 PM CDT up reply actions   1 recs

salty

.233 / .290 / .371 this year
.251 / .314 / .389 for his career

at what point do we decide he just isn’t a ML starter?

after his second full season behind the plate

This season they asked him to focus on becoming better defensively, so it’s conceivable that his offense suffered as a result. Once he’s more comfortable defensively, look for his bat to improve..

by MikeEl on Sep 27, 2009 3:06 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I have a hard time believing that a professional athlete can't improve in more than one area at any given time.

If they tell him to improve his offense next season, is his defense going to regress? Are we going to be playing this game for the rest of his career, that he can only be serviceable at one thing at a time?

Gracchus (about Obama): I think he knows what America is. America is the mob. Conjure money for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of America is not the paper of the Constitution, it's the power of the media. He'll bring them debt - and they will love him for it.

catching is a much more demanding position

than any other while off the field. Defensively you have to do the scouting on the opposing batters and work up a gameplan with each pitcher. Then offensively you have to go over the same scouting and tapes for your own batting to work through any problems you might have. Salty was also still learning many of the intricacies of the position this year.
That being said, he has had time to adjust this year, and while I think you can expect a better year offensively as he better learns how to manage a pitching staff, if he doesn’t improve by next year, then I think you can say that’s all you’ll get out of him.

you didn't get the memo

that apparently Nelson Cruz sucks and could never bat as high as 5th.

Cruz is in a 4-for-30 slump.

Asked to evaluate Cruz, Washington said he sees a player with a lot more maturity, but one who still has a some distance to go.

"I’ve seen his focus fade a little bit," Washington said. "It’s been a good lesson for him."

Maybe

But he’s never hit many line drive, and he’s hitting a career low in them this year.

2007 was an aberrition, power-wise – his ISO’s haven’t been anywhere near his 2007 levels any other time in his career, so I don’t know why he’d be out there tying to recapture that though.

Aside from the LD/FB rates, the biggest difference from this year to last year seems to be the drop in his walk rate

15% to 8.9%. He’s also swinging at more stuff out of the zone than ever before (although he was horrible at swinging and missing at stuff out of the zone in 2007 as well). Couldn’t tell you whether that’s part of why he sucks or a product of him sucking, but bottom line is he’s not squaring the ball up and his approach has suffered this year.

Here's the rule on earned runs for relievers

Regardless of whether the third out would’ve been made, the reliever starts with a clean slate with the runners he faces. O’Day walked Longoria, so he is a potential earned run, which he became when he scored without benefit of an error

Or any other place past the outfield wall.

Or into a gap. Or into the field somewhere beyond the infield dirt.

Gracchus (about Obama): I think he knows what America is. America is the mob. Conjure money for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of America is not the paper of the Constitution, it's the power of the media. He'll bring them debt - and they will love him for it.

The Joaquin Arias effect

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

Really nice, Davis & Washington.

Ballgame. Season.

Angels scored twice to make it 7-4. We’ll be six out with seven to play.
