Date | Question | Answer |
---|---|---|
2019-05-17 16:00:00 (link to chat) | What is your favorite trade you've ever made, and how long did those negotiations last?
(Alex from BMore) | this might be my favorite question ever.
In an NL-only in the mid-1990s, I spent at least an hour on the phone trying to coax a trading partner to give me Curt Schilling for John Franco. The guy was clearly getting high on the phone (I could hear the gurgling of his bong) and there were these incredibly long pauses. I was getting impatient but I could tell he was going to eventually agree so I just sat through these long silences and finally got him to do the deal. (Mike Gianella) |
2013-09-06 14:00:00 (link to chat) | What types of non-throwing exercise is best for pitchers to develop functional strength? I'm thinking back a few years to Curt Schilling trying out pilates and wondered if that or yoga make for good off-season training. (Randy from Syracuse) | I like a multi-faceted approach that emphasizes balance of functional strength and functional flexibility. Isometric exercises like pilates or yoga are great for pitchers for this reason. Another great exercise is surfing - the paddling is great for building back-side shoulder muscles, which function as the brakes once the ball leaves the hand.
On the jukebox: Metallica, "Motorbreath" (Doug Thorburn) |
2013-01-11 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Do you think some writers will hold a grudge against Glavine next year due to his imput on the 1994 Major League Baseball strike and drug testing as a players' union representative ? (19braves77 from Pensacola. FL) | I voiced this opinion last night on Twitter. I think there's something to it, if you go back and look at the low votes for Ted Simmons, Joe Torre and more recently David Cone. Curt Schilling, a JAWS-approved candidate, himself noted that he felt his low vote share (38.8%) in part reflected his activity as a player representative who didn't do enough to combat PEDs during his time. For once, I agree with him.
Will it be enough to keep Glavine out? Possibly on the first ballot given the crowd of candidates, the tenor of the electorate, and the precedent of not all 300-game winners making it on the first try (Gaylord Perry, Don Sutton and Phil Niekro had to wait). He'll get his plaque eventually, though. (Jay Jaffe on the Hall of Fame) |
2012-04-13 13:00:00 (link to chat) | While most people say Roy Halladay is the best pitcher in baseball, am I crazy to think he's only a borderline Hall Of Famer right now? (Andrew Stoeten from drunkjaysfans.com) | Given that we've seen just one starter get into the Hall with less than 300 wins over the past 20 years, I don't think you're crazy to say that at all. Halladay's at 190, and I think he's going to have to push well into the 240-250 range to satisfy the traditionalists. It helps that there's going to be a whole wave of non-300 win pitchers coming along (Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz, Mike Mussina and Curt Schilling) who are pretty fair candidates in their own rights, with considerable hardware and postseason resumes of their own. I think he gets there, but he's not a lock. (Jay Jaffe) |
2012-01-09 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Hey Jay -
Do you feel that the Hall of Fame will start to give guidelines to the voters sooner rather than later when it comes to steroids? I have seen comments regarding how quickly Bagwell shrunk in size as to why someone was not going to vote for him (Chicago Tribune). As Phil Rogers says, 580+ writers, 580+ opinions on the matter.
Thanks (Brian from Tinley Park) | Good question. I think we're years away from that, because while there are several candidates about to hit the ballot whose careers have been linked to PED use, there are also a bunch of milestone candidates whose elections are a virtual lock. Even without Barry Bonds and Roger Clmeens, you'll still have Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, Randy Johnson and Craig Biggio on that score, as well as solid candidates without the milestones OR PED connections such as John Smoltz and Curt Schilling. I think we're years away before the Hall feels a need to interject itself into the debate on the guideline grounds. (Jay Jaffe's Hall of Fame Special) |
2011-11-30 13:00:00 (link to chat) | How many more "Halladay like" seasons does Halladay need to have before he's a lock for the Hall Of Fame? (Kristina from Arizona) | A lock? I'd say 3-4. The voters haven't been very forgiving of guys with less than 300 wins (1 in 20 years, Blyleven) and they're about to get a slew of them for review (Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz, Curt Schilling, Mike Mussina) along with the 300-winners (Clemens, Maddux, Glavine, Johnson). The Cys are a great building block but Halladay still has work do do. (Jay Jaffe) |
2010-11-23 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Who gets in the Hall from the Kevin Brown/Curt Schilling/Mike Mussina triumvirate? (Colin Jaffe from Cranford, NJ) | Last question today goes to a Jaffe. And much as I loathe Curt Schilling with every fiber of my being, I think his role in starring in the postseason and winning two world championships lifts him above the others here. (Jay Jaffe) |
2009-09-10 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Thank you for the chat. Do you think Erik Bedard will make a close to full recovery and be effective for a few more years? Any other pitchers who have made it back from a torn labrum in their pitching shoulder? (Sumi from Monterey Park) | Very few and most are extreme examples like Roger Clemens and Curt Schilling. I don't have a lot of hope for a Bedard return, but if I was his agent, I'd get him to Dave Duncan no matter what. (Will Carroll) |
2009-08-19 14:00:00 (link to chat) | The belief that the era of the 300-game winner ended with Randy Johnson seems to be pretty widespread. What kind of career numbers will the 21st-century starting pitcher have to post to be perceived as a "lock" Hall of Famer? Will 200 become the new 300? (David from Evanston, IL) | The BBWAA hasn't elected a non-300 win starting pitcher since Ferguson Jenkins in 1990, so it's unclear exactly how good one will have to be. I examined this question last year and concluded that John Smoltz, Curt Schilling, Mike Mussina and Pedro Martinez -- all with 200+ wins, high strikeout totals and a solid handful of other accomplishments -- are all qualified to go in, and that Pedro's probably got the best shot from a traditional standpoint due to his high peak. (Jay Jaffe) |
2009-03-03 13:00:00 (link to chat) | I enjoyed your article on spring stats. What about pitchers' stats, especially pitchers who are battling to win a spot? Take Homer Bailey, for example. Does his super-efficient start from yesterday have meaning or is it just too small a sample size? (theguag from Louisville) | Eventually I will take a look at the numbers at the end of spring training and see if there's anything to pull from, but for pitchers it's tough to gauge much. A lot of them are testing things out (do you know how many years Curt Schilling tried to learn a change up in the spring only to inevitably ditch it when he couldn't make it work?) I think I'm encouraged by health, velocity and command more than the numbers in the spring when it comes to pitching. Watching how guys stretch themselves out in starts, moving up from a few innings at a time to a full start's worth of batters faced, etc. I could dig deeper at some point, but those things are my first instinct as to what's important.

2009-01-22 13:00:00 (link to chat) | I have a business venture for you. We can start the Hall of Very Good players. We can place it in nearby Utica, NY and players like Jeff Kent, Sammy Sosa, Curt Schilling can headline our class in 5 years or so! What do you think? (Ryan from NY) | Pass. While none of the players yo mention are slam dunks, all three have reasonable HOF cases and I would expect one or two of them to get in.
Besides, I'd favor Schenectady over Utica out of personal allegiance to a friend. (Jay Jaffe) |
2008-01-10 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Joe, I think Bernie Williams might be someone who is overrated because he was on the Yankees and won titles. (JKGaucho from DC) | There's absolutely no evidence that being on particular team helps you in the BBWAA voting. Cardinals, Giants and Yankees are overrepresented in the Hall of Fame because the Hall wasn't bright enough to do away with the Veterans Committee once it had served the purpose of catching early-baseball players and the backlog of qualified 20th-century candidates.
Bernie Williams is a Hall of Famer to me, although I admit I may be too close to it. Postseason performance does matter, and it matters more now in the era of three-level playoffs. Williams, Mariano Rivera, John Smoltz and Curt Schilling are just a few of the players whose resumes are stronger than a JAWS-flavored analysis would indicate. (Joe Sheehan) |
2008-01-10 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Joe! Love the work you do. During class, I just think about baseball (which helps explain my grades last semester). Can you answer this question for me- John Smoltz: Hall of Famer or not? (Jonathan from Springfield, MO) | Yes. A stronger version of Curt Schilling's case, with a little Dennis Eckersley thrown in. (Joe Sheehan) |

BP Annual Player Comments
Only a manager with a lot of self-assurance is going to keep Schilling pitching effectively into his late thirties by making him learn to love those guys in the pen. Terry Francona was never going to stand up to Schilling, and I doubt Bob Brenly will, either. Schilling is smart (hey, he’s the world’s most famous "Squad Leader" player, which is like passing the bar exam, only harder) and outspoken, which makes him a natural target for beat writers hungry for quotes or controversy. When things go sour, he’ll be the first to complain; on an old, bad team, that’s going to be a problem. At his best, Roger Clemens Lite; just not a good bet to age well.
