2015-10-22 14:00:00 (link to chat) | To follow up on the Ventura question.
Who is Managing a Major Leaugue team right now that shouldn't be? (Joshua from Chicago) | Fredi Gonzalez, Ventura, Bryan Price, Walt Weiss, Brad Ausmus, Paul Molitor, Craig Counsell, Mike Matheny. (Matthew Trueblood) |
2015-10-22 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Brad Ausmus? Mike Matheny? Craig Counsell? But they are highly regarded as far as I've heard. Why do you think they are overrated? (Zonk from Chi Town) | Zero managerial experience prior to taking their jobs. Habitual mismanagement of the roster and the game strategically. (Matthew Trueblood) |
2015-06-18 13:00:00 (link to chat) | I was in the ballpark for Austin Hedges' first career homer yesterday. What are the odds he ever becomes a starter? (Alex from Anaheim) | Are we talking about starting for a few seasons, or for half a decade? If it's the former, then I would say very high. This isn't a Christian Bethancourt situation, where Hedges is 90 percent arm and nothing else. Hedges is a more complete defender, and I think we've seen how those types can latch on as starters without producing much with the bat-be it Mike Matheny, Brad Ausmus, young Yadier Molina, Jose Molina, Rene Rivera, whoever. Is a team going to build around Hedges, or make him a lifer? No; he's not going to hit enough for that-but employing Hedges as a starter until they find an upgrade? Yeah. Absolutely. (R.J. Anderson) |
2015-02-06 13:00:00 (link to chat) | The catcher framing work that I've seen at Baseball Prospectus over the past couple of years just blows my mind. I'm not sure I understand the full implications correctly, though. When we say that Brad Ausmus had 242 catcher strikes above average runs added, are we saying he added about 24 wins above replacement over the course of his career, just by framing? In other words, does the model suggest that his framing created 24 WARP? That's more than Hall of Famer Rollie Fingers earned over his entire career!
It's quite possible that I'm totally, embarrassingly wrong. If I am, how can CSAA runs added be translated into WAR terms? (Rob from DC) | the answer is "yes" and I'm also freaked out by the implications, to some degree. I spend a lot of time looking for ways to 'reduce' the impact (replacement level? no; positional adjustment; no) when it comes to a wins translation....but I'm finding that the elite players of our present time are Posey, Trout, Lucroy and Yadi. I'm going to dive further into this, but, heck it sure screams "wow" to me, too. This also takes Piazza's HOF case further into the "no kidding, elect the man" territory. (Harry Pavlidis) |
2010-10-14 13:00:00 (link to chat) | I felt old when I compiled this list in April. Tweleve 2010 MLB players were older than me. How many will be back next year?
1 Jamie Moyer -- Phillies --18-Nov-62
2 Tim Wakefield -- Red Sox --2-Aug-66
3 Omar Vizquel -- White Sox --24-Apr-67
4 Trevor Hoffman -- Brewers -- 13-Oct-67
5 Matt Stairs -- Padres -- 27-Feb-68
6 Brad Ausmus -- Dodgers -- 14-Apr-69
7 Arthur Rhodes -- Reds -- 24-Oct-69
8 Ken Griffey Jr. -- Mariners -- 21-Nov-69
9 Mariano Rivera-- Yankees -- 29-Nov-69
10 Takashi Saito -- Braves -- 14-Feb-70
11 Jim Edmonds -- Brewers -- 27-Jun-70
12 Mark Grudzielanek -- Indians -- 30-Jun-70 (ted from the cubicle) | Most of them, I think. Next year is Wakefield's last season though. Matt Stairs wants to come back for one more year, at least. Arthur Rhodes is a reliever, so he'll pitch until he can't. (Marc Normandin) |
2009-06-18 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Do we have any statistical analysis of whether pitchers' performance is improved by certain catchers calling the game? I know the Times recently ran a story where Burnett was questioning Posada's game-calling, and the Orioles media has gone hog-wild with crediting Wieters for Brad Bergesen's recent improvements. Is this actually proven? (John from DC) | It's one of those things where I feel like we don't have enough information to gauge it one way or the other. There are too many variables involved, and the stats we can use to figure it out just don't do it for me. I think if a pitcher is comfortable with a particular catcher, and therefore is a bit more relaxed or focused on the mound, then let the dude have his catcher. Assuming he doesn't hit like Brad Ausmus of course.
I would love to see someone come out with a mind blowing study that tells us one way or the other, but I'm not the guy to do it. (Marc Normandin) |
2009-01-22 13:00:00 (link to chat) | With the news that Posada might not be as healthy as hoped, the Yankees' need for a viable back-up catcher has become more urgent. What are their options, considering that they are reportedly willing to part with Nady? (Nick Stone from New York, NY) | Hey Nick! Good question, as there's no doubt that the Yanks need to do a better job of protecting against Posada's absence than they've done in the past. Now that Brad Ausmus is off the market (my hand should be healed by the end of spring training, thanks), the best available option on the free agent market is the one that Joe Girardi spent two months kicking in the head last year -- Pudge Rodriguez. He was enjoying a bit of a rebound before he started rotting on the Yankee bench in favor of Jose Frakkin' Molina.
On the trade market, I'm not sure if anyone's gonna give up much of a catcher for Nady, but I wonder if a youngster with upside like Jeff Clement, Bryan Anderson or even J.R. Towles could be pried loose with a package involving, say, Ian Kennedy. I'm a horrible matchmaker when it comes to prospect-based trades -- it's why Brian Cashman doesn't take my calls. (Jay Jaffe) |
2008-09-09 13:30:00 (link to chat) | Any thoughts on Ryan Doumit's defense behind the plate? The bat has looked nice and his health has largely held up. Being arbitration eligible, is he trade fodder or a piece of the future? (mymrbig from New Orleans) | Good enough to stay there. Not every catcher has to be Brad Ausmus, and Doumit hits enough to be a -5, -10 glove and still be an asset. I doubt he'll be in Pittsburgh when the team is good enough to contend. (Joe Sheehan) |

2009-10-15 17:00:00 | 2009 NLCS Game One (Phillies/Dodgers) | John, maybe you could address this, now that you're back in control: Dexter Fishmore (Hollywood, CA): Maybe one of you can help clear this up: is Brad Ausmus the greatest teammate ever? WHY WON'T YOU ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. (Steven Goldman) |

2009-10-15 17:00:00 | 2009 NLCS Game One (Phillies/Dodgers) | The great improvement Russell Martin has made in the presence of Brad Ausmus is that he's starting to hit like Brad Ausmus. Thanks for that. (Jay Jaffe) |
