Maicer

2007-08-11T00:31:00.000-07:00

In apparent response to what I said yesterday ('Maicer has been extremely average in Kendrick's absence'), Izturis went 1-for-2 with two walks, two runs, and a grand slam in the 10-1 win. Maybe I should question him taking over for Howie more often? Maybe it works for other players, too?

In other news, Piazza cleared waivers and the Angels are considered a possibility for him. I guess he would be a big bat in the lineup, but he would play DH and what would happen with the whole Rivera, Anderson, Willits thing? Not that it would be a bad problem to have, though. Rivera would be able to take his time recovering from his injury, Willits could stay in LF, and then Anderson could go somewhere, like the bench or something. Other rumors include Juan Encarnacion and Adam Dunn; I don't understand Encarnacion, since we have enough outfielders for a whole division. The Dunn thing would be kind of cool, and preferable to that little Quinlan/Kotchman platoon situation.

Updates on various players

2007-08-10T00:01:00.000-07:00

15-Day DL

Erick Aybar (Hand Contusion)- Aybar has returned from his minor league rehab, as of August 6th. On Wednesday the 8th he went 3-for-3 with a walk and two steals, and on the day before, he singled in his only at-bat. He is picking up where he left off in AAA where he went 4-for-12 with 2 runs scored, 2 runs batted in, and two bases stolen.

Howie Kendrick (Broken Left Index Finger, out since July 8th)- Howie has been cleared to play catch and do various other baseball related activities, though is still approximately two weeks from returning. Maicer has been extremely average in Kendrick's absence, hitting .279 with 9 runs, 11 RBI, 1 steal, and 2 homers.

Bartolo Colon (Right Elbow Irritation, out since July 24th)- Colon is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Friday, August 10th, or in other words, today. He is supposed to make some rehab starts before ascending to the majors once again, and there is no timetable for his return, but hopefully when a timetable does show up, he will be way in the future (unless he can figure out how to pitch like the old Bartolo)

60-Day DL

Juan Rivera (Recovery From Broken Leg, out since a very long time ago)- Juan Rivera could potentially be ready for a minor league rehab assignment as soon as next week, and is expected to return to the majors sometime in September. Lyle Spencer of the Angels official site said something about him being 'used off the bench' if he returns in September.

Disappointing Loss

2007-08-04T00:23:00.000-07:00

Two outs in the 8th, runner on first in a 4-3 game and Scot could not hold it for one more out and get the lead to Frankie in the 9th? This is the offense he had to deal with: Ellis (made 2nd out); Scutaro (singled, got to 2nd as run scored on Vladdy error); Dan Johnson (doubles in Marco Polo); Suzuki, and not the Ichiro one (hit by pitch); Donnie Murphy (singles in run, Suzuki to 2nd).

What?

At this point, Greg Jones came in to make the deficit one that could most likely not be overcome.

I guess you can't really be too upset with Shields, with his 46.0 IP, 8 ER in the 2 months or so previous to this performance. Can't be too upset with Vladdy either, as he is making an impressive effort to keep this team from silly losses like this. By the way, who is this Santiago Casilla guy who got the win, and why does his picture on Yahoo Sports have a border around it, while nobody elses does?

Update: Thanks to baseball-reference, I have learned that Santiago Casilla used to be known as Jairo Garcia. One of these names must be fake, I assume, and if not, how many names does he have?

Napoli to the DL again

2007-07-28T20:12:00.000-07:00

Ryan Budde has been called up from AAA to take his roster spot and back up Mathis as catcher. I say Mathis starting and Budde playing a couple games is better than Jose Molina starting and Mathis playing a couple games.

Bartolo to the DL

2007-07-26T00:01:00.000-07:00

And they call up...

Greg Jones?

The Greg Jones that has pitched a total of 42 innings over four seasons, has never been that great, (lowest ERA was a 4.88 in 2003 when he compiled 27.2 innings; his lowest WHIP in a season came in the same year and was a rather frightening 1.55) and is not a starter?

So the rotation includes Lackey, Escobar, Weaver, Saunders, and...?

Oh, and I almost forgot, they called up Marcus Gwyn. Yes, he is a reliever too. Is this a hint that Moses will scoot from the 'pen to the rotation? (Lots of ?question marks? being used in this post)

It has to be the only possibility, otherwise either Rouwenhorst or Olenberger would be up to the majors. I think they both deserve an opportunity to pitch a major league game soon, especially if Moseley fails in his new role.

A more worrying possibility, presented on Yahoo, is that Ervin may make a return from AAA:

Asked whether struggling Ervin Santana might be recalled from the minors, Scioscia said: "Ervin is an option, but we'll take this one step at a time."

I very much hope Scioscia was denying this possibility there, as I don't see one above average AAA start being enough to fix all of Santana's problems.

The Angels lose but Oliver doesn't

2007-07-21T00:01:00.000-07:00

Darren Oliver has been pitching surprisingly well recently. Since the beginning of June, he has a 3.08 ERA, with 17 strikeouts to 14 innings pitched. He has only walked three batters in that time, along with 15 hits, leading to a decent 1.23 WHIP over the past month-and-a-half or so. You know what his problem is? His main purpose is as a left-hand specialist, but what kind of specialist has a 2.79 WHIP against the hitters he is supposed to be special against? Lefties are batting .431 against him, a number looking more like an on-base percentage than a batting average.

If a guy is batting in a stadium with a retractable roof, like Rogers Centre in Toronto or Chase Field in Arizona, and half-way through his at-bat, the roof is opened: does the at-bat go in his split stat section as an indoor at-bat or an outdoor at-bat I wonder?

Bartolo

2007-07-20T00:01:00.000-07:00

Now that Ervin has been sent to AAA where he will hopefully work his issues out, Bartolo will be trying to avoid the same fate. Is he really in danger of losing his spot to Moseley? Moses has struggled recently, his ERA "exploding" from 2.36 to 3.47 since July 6th, and has not done much work as a starter this year. Thus, he is less likely to be thrown right into the rotation. But, what about everybody's favorite 27 year old, left-handed starting pitching prospect, Jonathan Rouwenhorst? Statistics:

AAA Salt Lake
ERA||W-L||IP||K||BB||HR||WHIP
4.88|9-4|97.2|53|27||12||1.54

First of all, it should be considered that these stats are from the home run happy PCL. Second, try removing his starts on June 5th and July 14th. His numbers look like this:

ERA||W-L||IP||K||BB||HR||WHIP
3.94|9-2|89.0|45|26||09||1.35

Now, Bartolo's stats.

Through May 17th
ERA||W-L||IP||K||BB||HR||WHIP
3.69|5-0|39.0|26|07||04||1.18

Since May 17th
ERA||W-L||IP||K||BB||HR||WHIP
8.67|1-5|45.2|40|19||11||2.01

Bart's stats become terrible as he throws more pitches, eventually reaching an 8.44 ERA, 1.88 WHIP, and .391 AVG against in the 76-90 pitch range.

With no runners on and no outs, Bartolo has an AVG against of .337. So one third of the time the leadoff batter gets a hit? I wonder how that could be a problem.

One final note, as I wrote this Rouwenhorst pitched rather poorly and his ERA rose to a little over 5.00. That's only 3 really bad starts though, I think he deserves to be called up and given a chance to take Bartolo's place.

Carrasco joins Hillenbrand in DFA world

2007-07-04T07:16:00.000-07:00

Carrasco's 1.75 baserunners per inning was going to get him DFA'd soon, and now it has finally happened. Chris Resop was recalled to fill the roster spot, which will likely be taken over by Speier sometime in the next week.

The LA Times reports that Napoli's injury isn't as bad as originally believed. Rather than being out six weeks, it could be about a month or so, possibly less. Molina has two steals already this season, and could set a career high of five if he gets more playing time over the next month. A lot of playing time.

Also, Reggie Willits is scheduled to appear on Jim Rome is Burning today at 1:30 pacific time. At least, that's what they said yesterday. Maybe they meant Reggie Sanders?

The 100th post on YOTM

2007-07-03T09:13:00.000-07:00

I'm wondering what would happen if Mathis were to do very well while Napoli was on the DL. Who would be the catcher? Would Mathis have to acclimate to the 'Saunders Routine', where he plays very well, and gets sent to Salt Lake soon after?

Nick Gorneault was sent to AAA to make room for G.A. and will have to live with his .000 career MLB average until somebody gets hurt again.

Speier is scheduled to return within the next week, and it will definitely be a nice change to no longer see that little DL next to his name when I check my fantasy team.
