Monday's Frosty Mug

It's a bad news-good news kind of morning. The bad news: I've been up sick since 4:15. The good news: I couldn't sleep anyway, so this morning's Mug is early. Enjoy.
Kevin Millwood was the newest name to surface in Rumorville over the weekend, based on a Boston Globe report saying the Brewers had inquired about him. With that said, Rangers GM Jon Daniels said he hasn't spoken to Doug Melvin in weeks. Two things to take away from this:
- Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe is still a hack and any time spent propagating one of his rumors is time wasted.
- "Working the phones" is apparently still not a big part of Doug Melvin's offseason plan.
Where does Prince Fielder's 2009 season rate among the best in Brewer history? In-Between Hops has it at #4, behind Robin Yount's 1982, Paul Molitor's 1987 and Rollie Fingers' 2001. Notably absent from the top ten: Ryan Braun's 2009.
In the minors:
- The Timber Rattlers are looking for your help selecting a third baseman for their 15th anniversary team. Follow the link to learn about the candidates, then jump over to their front page for the poll.
- Speaking of the Rattlers, Rattler Radio has a nice note on the offseason of 2009 Rattler Jim Henderson, who's spending the winter in Okotoks, Alberta, helping train the next generation of Canadian baseball players.
If Derek Lowe doesn't become a Brewer this offseason, he might be a Dodger again. There's a new rumor floating around that has Atlanta and Los Angeles potentially swapping bad contracts, with Lowe going to the Dodgers and Juan Pierre to the Braves. Meanwhile, Lowe sounds like he'd prefer to stay in Atlanta.
Every now and then someone asks me for a glossary of statistical terms we frequently use (and misuse) here on BCB. It's a project we'll probably get around to eventually, but in the meantime Where Have You Gone, Andy Van Slyke? has a pretty good starting point.
Are you ready to start projecting for 2010? If so, FanGraphs has an opportunity for you to weigh in on players for next season. It could be interesting.
I just heard about it for the first time yesterday, but apparently Cyber Monday is "a tradition worth keeping," so you should head over to the Brewers online store and give them 20% less than all your money. And if you're looking for a gift for a
On this date in 1972, Larry Hisle was traded from the Cardinals to the Twins, marking the third time he'd been traded in 13 months. Five years later, Hisle would become a free agent for the first time, sign with the Brewers and finish third in the voting for 1978 AL MVP.
On this date in 1994, the Brewers sent reliever Doug Henry to the Mets for two players to be named later. Nearly a month later, the final PTBNL was announced: Fernando Vina. Vina hit .286/.349/.389 over five seasons as a Brewer.
Happy birthday today to Ray Durham, who turns 38.

Huh
Cyber Monday does not mean what I first thought it meant.
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
Nothing but a sign that says "I beat KL Snow at Boggle yesterday."

Handily, at that

It's really cool, actually.
I’ve spent so much time looking at his stats from 2001 that I could literally recite ANY stat that he put up that season. I don’t know how I was able to memorize them all…
"Working the phones" is apparently still not a big part of Doug Melvin's offseason plan.
You make it sound like he should be calling everyone, all the time. Maybe he doesn’t see a match with the Rangers, and maybe there’s no one on the team that interests him. Millwood, for example, doesn’t interest me in the least. Why should he waste his time calling teams that don’t have anyone he’s interested in?
But it sure seems
That if he worked the phones he could have gotten more then Gomez for Hardy.
Millwoods a brewer. He was a Ranger, that’s the fast track to becoming a Brewer.
Millwood is due $12 million next season, posted a 3.67 ERA in the AL last season, averaged 189 innings over the last five seasons
But you only want him at a price of $2-4 million? GLWT.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Neither was 2007/2008
Millwood had a terrible defense behind him in 2007/2008 (look at those hits per inning pitched!). That said, while he had a better defense behind him last year, his walk rate and HR rate both spiked while his SO rate dropped. Those are big warning signs.
I think in reality he was somewhere between 2008 and 2009 in skill levels but is clearly in decline now. I don’t think he’ll put up anywhere near as good of numbers as last year, especially if that HR rate keeps climbing.
I guess since there’s only one year left, I wouldn’t be violently opposed to it but I wouldn’t expect more than a 4.50 ERA.

Stats smats
Is he gritty? The team with out Kendall and possible Counsell are sliding into the danger zone of not enough grit.
He completely changed his conditioning last year
He even quit drinking beer completely. (That may not bode well for him as a Brewer) Baseball Tonight interviewed him after pitching a CG. It was about anhour after the game, and he was riding a bike in the gym. So I don’t think 2009 was a COMPLETE fluke, and I wouldn’t mind having him here.
Cards Announcers On Gamel's First Career HR, "That’s all they need is another home run hitter".
He actually had a better WAR the two seasons prior to 2009 then he did last year.
And his FIP was better both those years, as well.
WAR is calculated off of FIP, so that would explain that assuming a similar amount of innings
E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
#1 Problem with that idea:
ERA is not directly under the control of the pitcher. If he could be projected for that, It’d be a good deal.
E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
The Rangers are basically DM's farm club.

Best Seasons by Brewers
Where’s the mighty Tommy Harper?!
Ryan Braun: He loves it. *Secretly, I am Carlos Gomez*
In-between Hops thinks
the single most memorable Brewers moment was Cooper’s hit in game 5 driving in the two winning runs, followed by Prince’s home run celebration from this year. I wonder where Braun’s final homer from last year ranks. I haven’t been a Brewers fan incredibly long, but that seems like a top two or three moment to me.

Arby rations
The deadline for clubs to offer arbitration is fast approaching.
So does midnight Tuesday mean tuesday night or tuesday morning? I’m assuming Tuesday night, and I agree with TH’s predictions.
If you were the Brewers FO, who would you offer arbitration to?
Cards Announcers On Gamel's First Career HR, "That’s all they need is another home run hitter".
The CBA says
The former Club of a free agent, no later than by the December 1 following the free agency election period, may offer to proceed with the Player to salary arbitration under Article VI of this Agreement, for the next following season.
Thanks
But let me get this straight. The decision whether or not to offer arbitration is due by tomorrow. What’s the next step? The player accepting or declining? Then negotiating figures?
Cards Announcers On Gamel's First Career HR, "That’s all they need is another home run hitter".
The player gets through December 7 to accept or reject
If he accepts, then the timeline is the same as any other player going to arbitration – figures get exchanged in mid-January and hearings take place in early February.
Cameron and Lopez
Both would get multiple year deals elsewhere. If Cameron did accept, you could probably give him away to a team that could absorb the salary and most likely still get something in return. If Lopez accepts, you have a replacement for when Rickie Weeks inevitably breaks down. That said, I don’t know why either of them would turn down more money elsewhere and type B isn’t a deterrent to other teams signing them.
by kingcharlesxii on Nov 30, 2009 12:23 PM CST up reply actions
No, if lopez accepts, then you can easily trade one of the third basemen, and have FeLo play third, whether he likes it or not.
But, moot point.
Sure, but its interesting
to bring up the fact that Casey McGehee’s MLB experience consists of 379 total ABs, with 355 of those comprising a season that eclipsed anything he’d ever done at any level ever in his life. So…I’d guess his value is almost zero in a trade. I’d bet a lot of GMs would be wary about over paying for a very unproven guy who had a career year his first year in the majors.

as a backup though?
McGehee could be a very solid backup. Gamel would be more valuable in a trade for pitching, than as a backup.
That’s probably not true as we go forward past 2010, but still, I think that was mykenk’s point.

sorry for the misunderstanding. There are a lot of people that make really emotional arguments FOR McGehee, rather than logical ones.

Let's think about this for a minute
Why would TH use the correct logic about FeLope, but go the other way with Cameron?

I have two plausible answers
- He’s an idiot
- He’s heard it from someone inside the organization

Well, we did have trouble trying to unload Cam's contract last year ...
in that failed trade with the Yankees. Maybe the concern is that if Cam accepts and gets another $10 to $12 million contract, we’re not going to be able to move him without picking up a sizable chunk of the money.
Hilariously
Mike Cameron for Melky Cabrera and Kei Igawa would have been a great trade. The Mustache just has trouble identifying great trades.

I agree with Rubie.
I think the inherent problem with offering Cam and Lopez Arbys, is that it doesn’t help our team win games and costs us ~$16M combined.
If both Cam and Lopez accept — even, if at some point you can trade them — that assigned money probably handcuffs the Brewers ability to go out and sign stud pitchers like Doug Davis and Jarrod Washburn.

Cameron wants to stay in Milwaukee, and will take a 'pay cut'
Which is to assume he will take pay less than what he made in 2009 to play in Milwaukee. That will be a great deal for any team.
I, however, don’t think he will accept. He will want to decide on his own if he wants that pay cut, or if he wants to go somewhere else.
Davis and Washburn aren’t going to turn this into a 90+ win team with the offensive question marks. Remember, this is an unstated rebuild year.

2 Things...
1.) If Cameron truly wanted to stay here in Milw. and take a paycut — I think he would have been signed ala Hoffman.
2.) IF we are in “unstated rebuild” mode — Why the hell did we sign Hoffman?

OK
- Maybe Melvin’s intention was to trade for Gomez all along…so he didn’t bother to talk about it. That doesn’t change the fact that I’ll bet he’d sign for less than what he made in 2009 in an arb negotiation. And it certainly doesn’t rule out the possibility that he’ll decline and look elsewhere.
- First, Doug Melvin is not a total idiot. He has been enamored with a changeup-throwing closer for a long time(this makes him an idiot). He’ll pay for the saves, and he knows that poseur fans will buy Hoffman’s jerseys and cheer like he’s played here for 20 years when he notches save #600 (this makes him popular in the Attanasio household).
You think, in all of your honest heart, that the Brewers are trying their hardest to get to the playoffs in 2010? I call that silly. At the VERY least, Melvin is targeting 2010.

No way Cam signs for less in the Arby process — I don’t see any reason he would do that.
I don’t think the Brewers will be competitive in 2010 (as things stand today), I am not convinced that Douggie feels the same.

How so? You know how it works, right? The two sides give a figure. Then they negotiate prior to a hearing. If they can’t reach an agreement, an arbitrator picks one or the other number. Did you know Doug Melvin hasn’t ever had a hearing?

Let me clarify my position
The greater majority of the shrewdness of signing Trevor Hoffman lies in those fans who want to walk around saying “we have the best closer of all time! He’s got the most saves, he’s our closer!” And they will shell out for the merchandise, because its a PR move.
Larry Dobrow over at CBS said it best when he said:
To make matters worse, the Brewers have engineered two moves of dubious worth since the 2009 season ended. Trevor Hoffman is a righteous dude and the Michael Jordan of loving, supportive teammates, but he’s still a 42-year-old with a single effective pitch. Committing $7.5 million to him at a time when better relievers can be had for less reeks of prioritizing character over ability. Say, you know who else is a great guy? Brad Ausmus. I bet he’s available!

Hoffman has been pretty dang effective throwing 85 for a number of years now
If he’s healthy, there’s no reason to assume he can’t be effective again. $7.5 mil isn’t a great deal but it’s sure not an outrage.
E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
Oh I'm not outraged
But I’m against paying for saves. And, in all honesty, zero percent of any population thought he’d post the numbers he did last season.

2) How much is admission to this event?

or they do, but the default is curly fry and they don’t ask.
