Some thoughts on Uehara for Hunter and Davis
by Adam J. Morris on Jul 30, 2011 7:44 PM CDT

PrintIt is a sad day for me today. The Rangers have traded Tommy Hunter and Chris Davis for Koji Uehara.
Having had a chance to look at the deal and Uehara's numbers, I'm okay with the trade. It seems to work out for both sides. Eno Sarris looks at it over at FanGraphs, and thinks Uehara should close for Texas. Jason Parks and Kevin Goldstein take a look at the deal at BP, and also appear to conclude it makes sense for each side. Parks sees Davis as a guy with huge power potential and a quality glove at first base who needs to make adjustments and stop thinking so much, while he sees Hunter as a mid- to back-rotation guy who didn't really have a role with the Rangers.
Uehara is probably the best reliever in the Ranger pen right now. He was bad as a starter for Baltimore in 2009, and has been very good in relief the past two seasons, with his K, BB and HR rates almost identical in 2010 and 2011. His 1.72 ERA is a little misleading because he has a .194 BABIP and a 97.6% LOB rate, but his FIP and xFIP are in the low- to mid-2s.
So this makes the team better, and at a cost the Rangers could afford, even though Chris Davis, in particular, could end up making this trade look really bad down the road. I think it is a reasonable trade. I can't criticize the Rangers for making this move.
I can be a little sad, though, because Hunter and Davis have been two of my favorite Rangers. They certainly weren't the best players on the team, but for whatever reason, they were guys I had a soft spot for and particularly rooted for. By all accounts, they are two really good individuals, popular teammates and good in the clubhouse. And Davis, in particular, is going to be better off in Baltimore, where he has a chance to get a fresh start and have a chance to play everyday, something that wasn't going to happen in Texas.
So I'm glad they'll be getting a chance to go somewhere and have a bigger role than they would here, but I'll miss having them here.
I'm assuming Andres Blanco will replace Chris Davis on the active roster tomorrow, and then the Rangers will have to decide whether to drop Omar Quintanilla when Craig Gentry is ready to return, or option Taylor Teagarden and keep Quintanilla around under Adrian Beltre is ready to return.

They're fantastic
I’m not big on fantasy (I’ve read Tolkien and Lewis, but who hasn’t?), but this is almost more historical fiction….only in a made-up world instead of the real one.
The later books start to trend more toward the fantastical element, which wasn’t necessarily bad…I just hope Martin reins it in a bit in the later novels.

This is a fantastic deal for the Rangers in the sense that they got a better reliever than Heath Bell without giving up a single prized prospect from their system.

Two big leaguers for 60-90 outs is a lot. RT @FlyByKnite: @Kevin_Goldstein Except that Koji is actually a damn good reliever.
He's right that it's a lot, but I like it.

As I responded to him on twitter, calling Davis a big leaguer is generous at this point.
Yeah...
We used to get snarky comments from folks on twitter for hoping Chris Davis could transform back into his 2008 self and Tommy Hunter would be anything more than a #4 starter. And while they have value, I certainly hope we don’t have to read about how the Rangers gave up “future slugger Chris Davis” and “quality starter Tommy Hunter” or anything.

Hunter and Davis where basically spare parts here.
Getting a top 5 reliever for our spare parts, even if one of them is probably a LAIE elsewhere (if he actually starts eating innings at some point) is damn good.
Don't poke the alien.
agreed
that’s what most miss when looking at the value of players. Plus, their value was likely only going downhill from here as they were either going to be used in limited roles or lost on the waiver wire.

by ab03 on Jul 30, 2011 8:01 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
I don't think it's irrational
I think the problem is in his head, which can be fixed
He dominates AAA at too high a degree to think it won’t ever translate.
His k rates and walk rates even in AAA
Just don’t allow him to just do the same thing in the majors. I think he can be a useful player but not someone the Rangers will regret trading.

I think this would be a perfect excuse
For why his average would drop from 368 in AAA to 250 or less in the majors.
I don’t think that’s an adequate excuse for why his HR% falls off a cliff when he’s in a big league park
I don't doubt that his confidence falls off a cliff
when he’s called up. But some people press for a really good reason – they’re not good enough and they know it.

One of the things Parks mentions in the BP piece...
…and that I know people were talking about during spring training, 2009, is that he doesn’t have the ability to forget about bad ABs, missed pitches, etc. Sort of like Billy Beane’s problem that he talks about in Moneyball…can’t put the last AB or last game behind him, thinks to much, and that affects what he’s doing in terms of his plan at the plate.

Did you read the piece?
…..the swing has a lot of miss in it, he struggles with pitch recognition, and loads up every swing like he is swinging for his life. It’s a bad approach and exploitable at the higher levels.
The extreme loading of the swing is a mechanical problem.

Or they could add Brian Barden to the 40-man roster and call him up. He has Major League experience and is hitting .357 at Triple A.
He was not in the Round Rock lineup on Saturday night. He is a right-handed hitter who can play third base.
I’m pretty sure he’s not in the lineup because he was granted his release and was signing with a team in Japan.

Walked out into the mall area. I’m tired, by myself, so just want something quick and casual. Go to the Tony Roma’s. There’s a line. I ask how long the wait…they say 45 minutes to an hour.
Screw that. I’m ordering room service.
Shit... I do room service when I travel usually.
Especially if I travel alone.

I think I'm getting a $60ish per diem for my travel coming up in September.
Who actually hits those numbers?

Yep. My first trip to NYC was a lesson in money management.
If I wanted
dinner, I needed to wait to get breakfast at the cart outside the office where we were gathering discovery documents. Also, the bagel there was better than at the hotel.
Hotels are super expensive
and unless you have the capacity to order from an in-house restaurant that is actually worth a damn, not worth the price.
Room service $$$ is all about the convenience.
+1
We also expense. Makes it somewhat sketchier… per diem is so much more straight forward.
"I'll text AJM a picture of my junk if he wants to use it" by ab03 on Jul 7, 2011 9:30 PM CDT
I'm not sure I see how expensing is sketchier than per diems.
It’s undoubtedly more convoluted.
Sketchier as in ambiguous.
You have to get an approval and there’s the possibility that the person doing the approving will take issue.
With per diem… it’s clearly defined so you don’t have to think about it.
"I'll text AJM a picture of my junk if he wants to use it" by ab03 on Jul 7, 2011 9:30 PM CDT
Per diems just make so much sense
otherwise you sit there spending 30 minutes trying to put together receipts for 9 bucks quiznos visits in the airports, in effect costing your company far more than that 9 bucks in your time (and the poor sap who sits there trying to validiate it all)
Just say “mark off the meals you ate” and have them write a check…
Go Rice Owls!
Would be a Matt Harrison fan, but I only like superstars
It's more beneficial tax-wise for the employee to be reimbursed
Rather than a per diem
Only matters if you travel a lot, though… and only if you claim your per diem on your taxes, which I’m guessing not many do
How so?
Unless you’re hitting the per diem every day the option that leaves you with money in your pocket seems to be the most beneficial for the employee.
I'd agree with that I suppose, although I've never had problems with people approving my expenses.
Then again, I’m not traveling to wine-and-dine clients or anything, so my expenses are generally for just 1 person and within our company requirements in terms of meal expenditures.
I just use my company credit card statement for the receipt. Saves me from having to keep any of those fucking things.
Mall area... so are you off the River Walk?

So I learned after coming to San Diego

So if you hate sour cream, like me, then you learn to hate guac. But good guac consists of just avocados – awesome – and pico de gallo type stuff – awesome.

Everyone screws up fajitas.
Everyone. Either poor flavors, or not enough meat, or not enough cheese or sour cream.
It’s what On the Border does well. They’re not traditional Mexican? Who cares, neither are fajitas, it works.

Yes, fajitas are the only thing I like at OtB, too.
But all it takes is one great dish for me to think a restaurant is worth existing. I could not possibly care less that I can get better tacos at the hole in the wall down the street. When I want tacos, I’ll go to the hole in the wall down the street.

my problem with OTB
is that I couldn’t find that dish for my now wife. She never found anything in a half dozen visits. So, no more OTB…

For the longest time, I refused boneless wings because I just assumed there is something "right" about bone-in wings.

However he also has his best K/BB in high leverage situations so his high leverage FIP is inflated by HR’s, and as you’ll note, his xFIP in high leverage situations is his best.
So… yeah. Doesn’t appear to have any real red flags concerning high leverage situations.

Law on Koji
Uehara is an extreme control artist who survives with a fastball that tops out around 90 or 91 and mostly sits in the upper 80s. He locates it extremely well and offsets it with an above-average splitter that doesn’t have the sharp “bottom” of most splitters, but that always moves down and often ends up right at the hitter’s knees.
The combination of those two pitches and his ability locate them so well gives him very high swinging strike rates despite the lack of velocity. Uehara is, however, fly ball-prone, pitching up in the zone with a fringy fastball, and while a huge percentage of those fly balls are popups, enough are true fly balls to the outfield that I’d be worried about his home run rate in a good hitters’ park like the Rangers’ home field. He’ll help them, but it’s more about building a postseason roster than getting the team to the postseason.
………………..
It’s a fair return for two months of a reliever, but unless Davis turns at least one of the corners in front of him it’s not likely to cause Texas any regrets.
Except it isn't two months... it's next year too.

Goldstein has been a one-man operation since joining BP. His hiring of Parks and their relationship may change that dynamic somewhat, but he and Law have always been very similar in that they pretty much do their own thing and that their primary value is in their personnel connections in the game. ESPN also has a couple of other pretty good minor league writers, much like BP now. and much like BP they generally do their own thing while KG/Law do theirs.

JD making an aggressive move…thinking Danks wasn’t ready, knowing BMac was and pulling the trigger, only to have BMac have injury issues for the first time in his career. I actually give him a pass on that one.

The McCarthy-Danks deal
was one of those pure scouting trades, and ChiSox scouts kicked Rangers scouts’ asses. We can blame it on developments since then, but that’s sidestepping the bottom line that they did a better job of identifying someone who could pitch in their organization than the Rangers.
by Brett Perryman on Jul 30, 2011 9:46 PM CDT up reply actions
Sort of
It also was a poor evaluation from the Rangers of where they stood in the organizational lifecycle.
They thought they were contenders and therefore trading for a “Major-league ready” pitcher was the right thing to do, even though there were some at least yellow flags being raised about McCarthy.
Of course, that isn’t to say that Danks would develop had he been here (cf. Diamond, Volquez, and Hurley), but at the time he was the brightest of the 4 parts of the H-DVD set, and anyone in their right mind was skeptical that McCarthy was what it would it take for the Rangers to win the division, given that they had just had career years from GMJ and Mark DeRosa to get to 80-82 in the division….
In addition, with Danks immediately starting that same year in the majors, that and the whole giving up the #16 draft pick in the draft for Frank Catalanotto made me think that JD didn’t know what the hell he was doing….
valid point on knowing what your team is at that point in time
woudl I do that deal where the Rangers stand now not knowing that BMac would fall apart? Shit yeah.

Looking back at some of the posts I made during that time span, I was actually ok with the deal:
Given that the Rangers have targetted 2007-08….
as their window of opportunity, I like the deal.
Of course, the problem was that the “Given” was not so given for us….. To be honest, I think I hated the Catalanotto signing more….
The Rangers just needed to go as low as possible before the whole “We’re contending every year” mentality went away so that JD could build a great organization from the bottom up.
Bravo Kenny Lofton...$ 6 million for a 40 year old CF for a team on a small market budget...not the best idea.

Bell a goner; Padres likely to make 2-3 trades
1 minute ago by KenRosenthal
The Padres are not going to keep Heath Bell and settle for draft picks when he departs as a free agent. They are not going to use him to close meaningless games in the final two months of the season.
Bell will be traded Sunday before the non-waiver deadline at 4 p.m. ET, according to a source familiar with the Padres’ thinking. The Rangers remain the front-runner, the source said, but the Cardinals remain in the mix and the Phillies and Yankees are showing late interest.
The Padres will make two and possibly three trades Sunday, with Bell, outfielder Ryan Ludwick and right-hander Chad Qualls the most likely to move, according to the source.
Right-handed starter Aaron Harang is unlikely to be dealt – two teams that pursued him, the Tigers and Indians, acquired better starting pitchers on Saturday.
Right-handed setup man Mike Adams also is expected to stay in San Diego barring a strong late bid from one of his many suitors; Adams would replace Bell as the Padres’ closer.

Instead of just being typical college band, we do things like run from formation-to-formation, and play music people actually like, and do humor-based shows.
For instance, our head coach in 2006 (got us to our first bowl game in 40 years) left for Tulsa two days after negotiating a contract with a larger buyout. To counter, the MOB put on this. Read the whole page for the full hilarity of the situation.

Not a problem, actually.

For instance, last year we had a show involving a volcano…and they actually built a volcano (with CO2 eruption). They also built (or attempted to build, anyway) a radio tower for our UT show, and for a show we had about vuvuzela infestation of sporting events, they portrayed the vuvuzela bugs, infesting the stadium and in general being a ruckus.

My attitude on killing animals for consumption
has always been that if a process is put in place that makes the meal better or more efficient and not harmful to humans, then I have no problem with it. You’re killing the animal ultimately anyway.
If something is done for pure malicious intent, then that is certainly wrong.
But making oneself feel better about things doesn’t change the fact that you’re still going to eat it.

is that there is a chance it might taste better. I’m all for it tasting better. But I’m still not sure how much of that isn’t confirmation bias or a placebo effect.
I’m not going to eat something free-range just because Foghorn was happy before I ate him
You make me feel so. . . liberal.
I’m not sure what to do with myself.

I really like this trade
