9/27: Open Game Thread
Oakland Athletics at Seattle Mariners, Sep 27, 2008 1:10 PM PDT
Not to bring a negative attitude into an RRS appearance, but - could someone please explain the whole Jose Lopez/first base thing that's going on? I'm trying not to get too upset on account of we don't know what the new GM is going to do, but on what planet does this make even the slightest lick of sense? They're aware that Lopez doesn't even like playing the position, right? Why am I hearing talk of this being a more permanent sort of switch? Why? Why?

My hope is that it's just hype! to make the callups seem more exciting.
I’m usually of the opinion that any versatility is a plus no matter how trivial it seems, but these bastards just can’t be trusted.

Also Jose Lopez has turned into quite the asset
I wouldn’t mind trading him for someone better defensively/ better at reaching base, but like with Beltre, Safeco suppresses his numbers so I’m not sure if we could get value.
GOD I hate the way our park is configured.

I don't think there's much reason to dump Lopez
unless you think his defensive downgrade is permanent. Assuming that he regresses back toward his fair/good defense, he’s good to have at second.
by Matthew on Sep 27, 2008 12:08 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I think if you can covert his power into on base/ defense/ a left handed hitter
or a combo of the three it’s worth exploring

If only Yuni for LaRoche had happened.
And yeah, certainly float his name around and see what comes back, but unlike Yuni who I think you have to dump in order to win, Lopez has value.

Tex's pricetag is going to be insane now.
But man, what a winter this is going to be. Everyone and their mother is a free agent.
No matter who are GM is and what his or her plan for 2009 is, I am so ecstatic that we don’t have Bavasi helming us through this winter.

Is it possible that Lopez's defensive downgrade has more to do with Yuni's defensive downgrade than a loss of skill?

If they were doing this to make room for Ellis or Hudson. Alas…

I don't want to pay for Ellis because he will get hurt
But Hudson would be grand, and at that point you might as well deal Lopez and find a better hitter to play first.

That's the thing with both Hudson and Ellis.
I think this team can be competitive sooner than most people (not including LL obviously,) but I think it’s probably best to use the next few years of low expectations to try to do so with players like Lopez. If there were a younger second baseman coming into free agency it’d be different. Yuni is another case, because he’s bad. I’d be all for dumping him and signing Furcal or something.

Yes, but is making us marginally better in 2009 worth dumping Lopez?
It would depend on what you got in return and the other moves you made obviously, but chances are quite good that the M’s aren’t likely to seriously compete next year, even with improvements. So do you take a chance that Ellis will stay healthy or that Hudson’s defense will hold up for the four years you’re likely to have him?

Insane.
Is the pitching better? Is it a younger league? Are the old-timers who consistently hit 40+ homeruns on a yearly basis retiring and regressing to their 38+ year old age? Steroids crackdown?
With the smaller ballparks popping up all over, this is quite the dramatic drop off in homerun rates.

Yeah, but the Beltran signing HAS been brilliant and well worth it.
And they developed Wright and Reyes on their own.
It’s the stupid trades that hurt them: losing Flores for nothing, giving away Milledge for two pieces that are pretty worthless (though Milledge hasn’t exactly covered himself with glory yet either). I can’t blame the Kaz-Zambrano trade on Minaya, but that also really hampered them.
The bullpen has been their undoing. They should have re-signed Bradford, at the very least, and built up more reliable backups than Aaron Heilmann and Pedro Feliciano.

A ballsy, and utterly necessary move. Dale Sveum isn’t exactly a mastermind, but just look at the way he handled the pitchers last night: Suppan + McClung and that’s all. Not 6 different relievers, each failing in different ways. It was stunningly efficient for anyone who’s watched the way Yost manages a bullpen.

If I were to root for the final outcome of this season based NOT on fandom, but rather on which franchise needed it more desperately...
…should I root for the M’s or the Nats to get the #1 pick? I incline towards the Nats on this question even notwithstanding the fact that I’m a fan of theirs.

Perhaps, but they haven't frittered any away yet.
I’m as pessimistic as they get (I’ve come around on firing Bowden, fwiw…he needs to go), but until I see them actually blowing it, I’m not going to assume a priori that they’ll become Pittsburgh Mk. II just yet.

There are other articles, but that is indeed a tough search combo.
With the Chicago White Sox trailing 6-0 in the seventh inning, manager Ozzie Guillen appeared intent on settling another score after A.J. Pierzynski had been hit twice by Texas starter Vicente Padilla. Enter rookie pitcher Sean Tracey, who had thrown just over four innings in his two previous appearances in the majors.
Tracey threw way inside on the first two pitches but Texas batter Hank Blalock had little trouble avoiding the pitches and eventually grounded out. Guillen then pulled the pitcher and could be seen yelling at him in the dugout. While Guillen denied telling Tracey to hit Blalock, the White Sox returned Tracey to the minors after the game.
