Waiting for a large picture

Chad JenningsDecember2

The Atlanta Braves sealed Billy Wagner today, as great as in a process they gave a Boston Red Sox a first-round breeze collect as great as a supplemental breeze collect in in between a initial as great as second rounds. All which for a man who pitched fewer than fourteen innings for Boston.

Its easy to indicate to this pierce as great as claim its proof of a shop-worn complement as great as competence be it is nonetheless during a behind of in August, when a Red Sox traded dual gangling parts for Wagner, a fact which a Red Sox had a right to offer Wagner settlement nonetheless not collect up his choice was reported. It was a known as great as supposed partial of a trade. When Wagner became a Type-A giveaway agent, it became competence be a many critical partial of a deal. Love or hate a Red Sox, it nowseems to be a heckuvamove for Boston.

The balance of energy hasnt shifted. The spin universe hasnt flipped upside down. Theo Epstein done a great move, thats all. The thing to take from it is which theres regularly a bigger picture. Trading for Wagner was a short-term pierce in August. Itsbecome along-term pierce in December.

As many asfans as great as media wouldlove to see a Yankees get a offseason wheeling as great as traffic started, a truth is which patience remains a virtue. Brian Cashman is starting to meet with his owners. Hes starting togather his scouts. Hes starting to speak to his manager. Hes starting to set a diversion plan.

Then hes starting to act.

Quick, small-picture movesdestroy great spin teams. Cashman is a large design kind of guy.Thats a great thing for a Yankees.

    Really it boils down to a Red Sox paid 3.5 million to buy a #1 breeze pick. Smart pierce nonetheless please let us not listen to from a vital structure of a body crypt screw looking Red Sox owner any some-more about shopping anything.

    Wagner pronounced which he wants to be a closer as great as would not be a SU man past this year. It was a close which hed decline, nonetheless a Mets confirm they would rsther than forfeit giveaway 1sr spin picks in preference of an AAAA player.

  • Y 27December 2nd, 2009 during 9:11 pm

    Kelly had a .607 OPS as a SS this year.

    The customarily reason he still plays it is since a Sox promised him they would give him an opportunity to do so. Clearly, he isint starting to go upon there.

    So right divided he is Ian Kennedy, nonetheless he is portrayed similar to Tim Lincecum.

    i additionally cruise income is not so tall upon joba & would rsther than traffic him over hughes

    yankees & jays have been talking & if income can do a understanding which creates clarity he will.if not he will pass

    we assume i! t will t ake joba,ajax & montero to get it done when it competence take kennedy,mcallister,romine or joba,romine & kennedy/mcallister

    Yes, a Sox paid $3M for a integrate of innings from a reliever they had no need for.

    its great for them which it incited in to breeze picks, nonetheless its unequivocally not THAT large of a deal.

    that $3M could have customarily been outlayed in a lower rounds of a breeze upon 4-5 signability guys.

    it was a great pierce for them, nonetheless it wasnt similar to it didnt price them ANYTHING. a $3M seems to be forgotten amongst all a wailing as great as gnashing of teeth.

  • Rich in NJDecember 2nd, 2009 during 9:28 pm

    Speaking of Mashmore, he had entry which a Mariners hired Bill Masse as a scout. Masse once pronounced which Melky would win a batting title. we wonder if Seattle competence have a small seductiveness in him right divided (although, obviously not as a CF).

  • bruDecember 2nd, 2009 during 9:30 pm

    without a aging vets we dont win a wsa lot of them customarily occur to be a own

    the intelligent thing we did this time is customarily pointer a right fa in their prime & kept many of a prospects instead of traffic a prospects for a wrong players past their primes

    it takes a multiple of trades,fa & kids to get it done

    if we customarily sign,sign,sign a payroll is by a roof tiles & we have to have fill details in box of injuries

    velli is a perfect example

    right right divided we have been sitting during about 166-170 million in payroll

    if we traffic for halladay & extend him we have been around 190 million prior to pettitte wich takes us to 200 million with lf,dh,cf concerns

    doesnt have clarity nonetheless i cruise we need an additional pitcher even if pettitte is signed

    i customarily dont cruise income & girrardi have been ease with cc,burnett & pettitte & starting with joba & hughes as a 4th & 5th wich i determine with

    In many MLB drafts, customarily 3-7 players in a entire 1st rd spin stroke players. Also, half of those tend to come from a tip 10-12 picks.

    So if we had to guess, Id contend customarily 2-3 players of a final 18-20 picks spin stroke players (all-stars or borderline all-stars) in a majors.

    1st rd picks have been great nonetheless distant from a certain thing. The Red Sox were propitious to get a picks nonetheless $3M as great as a income theyll compensate a picks, for players who have a contingency stacked opposite them, isnt a small coup.

  • blakeDecember 2nd, 2009 during 9:36 pm

    I dont cruise they have been gentle with a rotation as is either. Having Joba as great as Hughes as a 4th as great as 5th starter is a recipe for an bustling bullpen. AJ gets knocked out a lot of games early as great as great as Pettite is an additional year older. As is they customarily have a single man who consistently goes low in to games (CC).. which is since Halladay would be so nice. The pen could rest 2 out of 5 games

  • Rich in NJDecember 2nd, 2009 during 9:40 pm

    Confining a application of 1st spin picks to whether or not they have been stroke players is a bit narrow. For example, if they drafted a pitcher which incited out to be a #3 starter which gave them 3 WAR for 5 years, which players prolongation would be great value a $3 million.

    Via Ken Rosenthal -

    Just as a presentation of shortstop Elvis Andrus persuaded a Rangers to pierce Michael Young to third base, a quick growth of dual immature shortstops eventually competence compel a Yankees to approach Derek Jeter about a change.

    The emanate could not be some-more sensitive Jeter, who turns 35 upon June 26, wants to go upon personification short, as great as he will be a giveaway representative during a finish of a 2010 season.Scouts, however, have been buzzing all open about Ramiro Pena, 23, as great as Eduardo Nunez, 21, both of whom have perceived increased exposure with Jeter participating in a World Baseball Classic.

    Pena outlayed final deteriorate during Class AA, Nunez during Class A.

    Theyre dual of a improved immature kids Ive seen dual bona fide core players for a future, a single director says. Theyre not which distant from being major-league ready they have a small tools as great as they know how to play.

    Will they hit?

    Their offense will not keep them from personification they have during slightest survivor skills with a bat, a director says. we suffer examination them. Theyre sparkling players. They pierce a lot of energy.

    As for Jeter, a single complaint wit! h reloca ting him off reduced would be anticipating him a brand brand brand brand new position. Center margin would appear to be his many judicious destination, deliberation which a Yankees have been set long-term during first, second as great as third.

    Robin Yount moved from reduced to a outfield during 29, nonetheless Jeters genius is substantially some-more similar to which of Cal Ripken, who did not shift to third bottom until he was 36.

    The Orioles had to pointer giveaway representative Mike Bordick to clear a switch to Ripken. Jeter competence resist for relocating younger players, nonetheless his diminished operation could weaken his case.

    Both times now, when Jeter has been divided during a WBC, Pena has taken value of a incident in conditions of creation an impression. And, it was 3 years ago when Eduardo Nunez popped up upon a Yankees awaiting radar. However, afterwards again, neither Pena or Nunez done it upon to a Yankees tip awaiting list in John Sickels The Baseball Prospect Book 2009 whereas SS awaiting Carmen Angelini did have a list (albeit with a class of C).

    Remember, once upon a time, Domingo Ramos as great as Damaso Garcia were supposed to be a destiny of a Yankees, up a middle, too

    Casey used to implore Richardson to travel more, nonetheless he says they customarily threw him strikes. In any event, his batting in front of Mickey is a single of a reasons since Mickey didnt have some-more 100 RBI seasons. His OBP was .299 for his career, as great as batting him leadoff for a Yanks should have been catastrophic for a Yanks, nonetheless it wasnt since of what was during a behind of him. But Huggins himself walked a lot, as great as so did his players as great as McGraws players as great as a garland of Caseys players.

    Thats a thing about Richardson, he was a design perfect fielder during second(though we schooled from examination Randolph after we harm my arm) as great as never struck out, so he appeared to be many some-more prolific than he was. So he was arrange of overrated as a hitter as great as Randolph was underrated.

    One thing a Yanks could regularly do when they were great was spin a DP. From McGraw by Casey, whoever they put in there, as great as they would mix as great as review sometimes, could spin DPs as great as any seasoned pair in baseball. It was arrange of freakish.
