Toronto Blue Jays at New York Yankees, Sep 16, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Hi all, in a bit of a rush so just a quick thread tonight and the Pedro the Lion-inspired title says it all.
Brian Tallet gets the start against Chad Gaudin. Moonraker bats 9th, I guess two homeruns wasn't enough. Let's go Jays!

I think it will be back to status quo. Yanks have too much to lose.
Ms. Priscilla Posada will not be catching tonight as she sits out her suspension. Good riddance.
Will Carlson be able to pitch 3 gaems hence?

One: We don’t know who will be the next president. two: Who ever it will be, he might have a different state of mind coming in in terms of who he wants as his field manager…
"Sports is something you know, not something you should preach.'
by valter on Sep 16, 2009 8:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I guess I would conclude the following. If a new President is appointed than it will be up to him/her select a GM. Either bring in a new one or keep JP. Than, the new GM can decide if s/he wants to keep Cito. Even if the new GM decides that Cito is not the right guy, they stil might keep him around during a transition period through 2010, when Cito will likely retire anyway. For that reason, I think it is slightly more likely than not that Cito does manage next year, but beyond that, I do not expect so.
by aagoodfella on Sep 16, 2009 8:31 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I also think there’s a good possibility Cito will be back in 2010..But realistically, I don’t want Cito back. His old managing philosophy is passed by the game of baseball. We need a fresh and aggressive baseball mind…
"Sports is something you know, not something you should preach.'
by valter on Sep 16, 2009 8:39 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I agree. My key point of disagreement over his managerial style would be a lack of proactiveness or aggressiveness. When pitchers are struggling he is a bit slow to pull them out. I think he should use certain batters more … Ruiz and Snider, most notably. But other than that, he is ok, keeping things steady and working – some basic stuff that can go underappreciated at times.

It's been tough for a bit.
I’ve been wanting to go thru the minor league teams, one at a time but haven’t had the time
by Tom Dakers on Sep 16, 2009 9:35 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
i was thinking about doing one on when power develops historically
. . . go through all the players in the 500 homerun club and see when they started to really slug

hmmmm would be interesting....
got some guys that come upon it later…some earlier…

Well if you're in the 500 club
it can’t have been too late.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
by Torgen on Sep 16, 2009 9:40 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah
Obviously dealing with guys generally in their lower 20’s. But I think with the modern era, there would be guys who hit their “stride” a bit later
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
by jessef on Sep 16, 2009 9:41 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Would you suggest taking a look at players who hit between
250 and 400 or something like that?
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"

opening it up to a lot more players
by Tom Dakers on Sep 16, 2009 9:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
yeah
the point is basically just to figure out when to expect guys to really develop their power. Like, is Aaron Hill normal right now? Is Lind? When should we expect Snider to really start mashing?

a far bit of work, but could end up with something
by Tom Dakers on Sep 16, 2009 10:15 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
that's why I only wanted to do 500+ guys
I am not looking forward to the research at all

yeah doing just the 500 homer guys would give you a good enough number...
I’d worry a little that steroids might fudge the numbers a bit

I like what they are doing..they are not intimidated at all by these 'bronx bombers."

maybe he has Lind on his fantasy team

janssen for accardo …
hmm, my confidence level not materially lifted

does he have to go to a righty? why not Downs?

Accardo was always one of those reverse splits guys

And look at their lineup
If you get the platoon matchup now, you’ll give it up later.

Accardo was our closer that one year
and Damon’s been in the division as long as we’ve had Accardo.

interesting if they leave Hughes in the pen next year or try him as a starter again
by ClintB on Sep 16, 2009 9:59 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
they can barely use him as a starter next year
unless they want him to pitch a lot more innings than this year

by jessef on Sep 16, 2009 10:01 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
majors + minors this year is about 100 innings or so right now
and he probably shouldn’t pitch that many more than he already has

Michael K is saying that the secondbase umpire screened rivera which is why they didn’t get the dp

tallet had a toe injury i think
they removed him after the second. and unfortunately the YES broadcast didn’t really say anything useful about the downs injury — they said elbow but I’m really not sure.
