    McClung both struck out and walked many fewer batters as a starter than as a reliever.

    I personally wouldn't trade for Lincecum. He's great now, but I really don't think he'll hold up due his small size and violent delivery. If he was a couple year younger Brandon Webb, I'd sell the farm to get him.

    when it comes down to it, it takes luck to win a WS. If they lost the NL championship series each of those years, would you still covet their success?

    Nelson should have appeared in the "blast from the past" by now. And Salome should be on the "who's hot".
  5. DrWood
    a common phenomena in the minors are catchers that hit well in the low minors, but disappear at AA. So, it will be wait and see until he gets to huntsville. It's gratifying that salome is raking at huntsville.

    unless ford wants to be another mel stocker, he better do more than steal bases. his hitting is abysmal this season. He has to bring it up so he can at least get promoted next season.

    how do you wish to view Prince? the struggles this season? The unprecedented HR production at such a young age last year? You gotta give a guy a lot of credit for doing something that is unprecedented. If you are talking about which 1b to have going forward, you have to think prince or pujols. For this one season, you could pretty much pick any 1b in the division other than Prince. I still wouldn't be surprised if Prince ends up at .300 with 45 HR.

    there is brad nelson, steven chapman and maybe gindl, so it's a bit of an exagerration, but I wouldn't want to trade gamel either at this point.
  9. DrWood
    I don't see how McClung could go more than 4 innings. He goes pretty deep in counts and hasn't pitched long outings in what, a couple of years?

    "Repeatable" has to do with mechanics, not in-game strategic adjustments. You can't have a repeatable swing if you open your stance, change your grip on the bat, etc... from swing to swing. Pitchers can try to use different pitches to get batters out in later AB, or set them up differently than they did in the earlier AB, but other than that, I don't know what strategy you are considering.
  11. DrWood
    You really can't project a guy at AA having a good shot to hit 50 HR in the majors, ever. LaPorta might, gamel might be able to have an OPS over 1.000 in the majors, but the guys that are in the top 1-2% of the league are really irreplaceable, for all practical matters. You can make the team better by trading them for quality players, but even that is hard to do.

    Since the 1970 season, a manager has been replace mid-season 168 times. 12 of those teams made the playoffs. In the wild card era (1995 on), 39 managers have been replaced mid-season. 3 of those teams made the playoffs (one of those being Tommy Lasorda's last season with the Dodgers). Yes the 2003 Marlins won the World Series after making a mid-season managerial switch, but, again, that's the exception, not the rule. you snipped out a critical phrase in my quote, that the team has to have the players in place that can perform. Most of those teams were bad, and didn't have a chance with any manager. I would think MOST underperforming teams did better after a managerial change, merely because you could expect some movement towards expectations. I'd take a .550 winning percentage the rest of the way, even if that didn't get the brewers in the playoffs.

    I've always thought batting coaches have little value other than helping players out of a slump. Unfortunately, none of our players have gotten out of a slump yet. So, yeah, I guess I'd put blame on the batting coach.
  14. DrWood
    Kids these days are coached to have repeatable swings, repeatable throws. Adjustments aren't really done by most players. Seeing the same guy a few times improves timing, though.
  15. DrWood
    we're only overreacting if they turn it around soon. If they don't we're acting appropriately.
  16. DrWood
    Milton Bradley, a force for peace in the world.
  17. DrWood
    At least it would take him away from the 3rd base coach's box. That would be a good thing.
  18. DrWood
    If the players are in place that can produce, it happens fairly often. Jack McKeon took the marlins to a championship, for example.
  19. DrWood
    because they see him as a major league reliever. I don't know why. A guy that can go 2-3 innings would be useful in the bullpen right now.
  20. DrWood
    Fielder is FAR more valuable than Kershaw. Has everyone forgotten last year already?
  21. DrWood
    If you wanted to platoon gamel at 3b, he'd be hitting vs. the right handed pitchers. I wouldn't do that yet, but I might move gamel to nashville, move branyan to MKE, and give him a couple of starts a week vs. some RH pitchers.
  22. DrWood
    I would think they stay until the minor's all-star break, unless an injury creates a need at Nashville.
  23. DrWood
    I'd take either one. Gio Gonzalez moved into and out of the CWS organization a few times, so getting one back wouldn't be at all unprecedented.
  24. DrWood
    lets trade yost for ozzie guillen.
  25. DrWood
    Oh yes he could!
