Coming off another series loss that dropped their playoff chances to 4.9%, the Brewers have a day off today to travel home and get ready to resume play tomorrow. When they get there, they'll be joined by new Brewer David Weathers, who was acquired from the Reds for a PTBNL yesterday. Some notes on the move:
- Jesus Colome was the 20th Brewer pitcher to appear in a game over the weekend, meaning Weathers will likely be the 21st sometime this week. Before the season, 88% of readers in the Over/Under contest said the Brewers would use more than 19.5 pitchers this season. Congratulations to all of you.
- Ken Macha suggested Weathers will be used as an occasional fill in for Todd Coffey in the setup man role.
- Weathers and his family don't sound too excited about leaving Cincinnati.
- This move could be more than a rental: Weathers has a team option for next season. Exercising that option would be a nice way to get rid of $3.7 million without clogging a toilet.
With that said, Kendall was hit by two pitches yesterday, the 240th and 241st of his career. Plunk Everyone has a bunch of statistical nuggets related to that.
Entering play tomorrow, Mike Cameron has been worth 2.8 Wins Above Replacement on the season, third most on the team. Should the Brewers make an offer to bring him back for next season? The Junkball Blues makes the case for it. Baseball Digest Daily says Cameron is the third best defensive outfielder in the NL.
In the minors:
- Fifth round pick D'Vontrey Richardson signed his contract Friday night and is expected to report to Arizona to spend a few weeks with the Rookie Brewers before their season concludes.
- Over at The Hardball Times, Jeff continues to look at the average age of minor league teams, and finds the Huntsville Stars are one of the oldest teams in AA. The average probably falls a bit if you remove Vinny Rottino, who is a Dodger now.
Astros: Placed Doug Brocail on the DL with a strained shoulder.
A's: Released Jason Giambi.
Cubs: Placed Carlos Zambrano on the DL with back spasms.
Dodgers: Placed Jason Schmidt on the DL with shoulder trouble.
Mets: Acquired outfielder Jason Dubois from the Cubs.
Phillies: Released infielder Pablo Ozuna.
Pirates: Placed reliever Donnie Veal on the DL with a sprained index finger.
Rangers: Designated Vicente Padilla for assignment.
Rays: Acquired Gregg Zaun from the Orioles for a PTBNL or cash, claimed Russ Springer off waivers from the A's, and designated Joe Dillon, R.J. Swindle, reliever Jonathan Meloan and catcher Michel Hernandez for assignment.
Red Sox: Designated reliever Enrique Gonzalez and John Smoltz for assignment and placed Jed Lowrie on the DL with forearm irritation.
Yankees: Designated Josh Towers for assignment.
Yesterday's Brewer game wasn't the only one over the weekend impacted by poor umpiring. As is becoming customary, here's your Umpiring Roundup from the weekend:
- Ed Rapuano ejected Shane Victorino for complaining about a strike call in center field. (h/t Al)
- Lance Barksdale ejected Padres manager Bud Black after missing a call at home plate Saturday.
- Jerry Crawford ejected D-Backs manager A.J. Hinch after missing a call at first base.
The economy may suck, but if you're the official manufacturer of baseballs for MLB, you'll probably always have a job. MLB Daily Dish estimates the major leagues will go through about 220,000 balls this season.
Playing a Timber Rattlers game at Miller Park seemed to work pretty well for all involved, so maybe the Brewers should try this: The Red Sox have an annual Futures at Fenway doubleheader, featuring games with two of the team's affiliates. I'd pay to see that.
On this day in 1987, Paul Molitor went 2-for-4 with two walks, extending his hit streak to 25 games as the Brewers beat the Rangers 4-3 in 12 innings.
Happy birthday today to Chuckie Carr, a 1996 Brewer and first-ballot entry into the "Don't Be That Guy" Hall of Fame, who turns 42 today.
Oh, and please, for your sake and ours, stop dressing up your cat.
Drink up.

That was a completely blown call. I’m not sure I’d want Instant Replay for everything (Games are long enough) but Crawford should be fined by the league for such a grossly incompetent call.

Playoff odds
As we sit here 6 games back of the division and 6 games back of the wild-card-leading Rockies and Giants, our playoff hopes are looking pretty bleak. But which would be a more likely route to the playoffs? The Cardinals have a pretty easy schedule the rest of the way, so they set the playoff bar pretty high. However, if we are going to make up a 6 game deficit, we are going to have to win quite a few games, including some of our 9 against STL.
The Rockies and Giants, however have much tougher schedules than the Cardinals do, including several games against the Dodgers, three games each vs. the Brewers, and facing each other 10 times. They will beat each other up, and could struggle down the stretch. However, is it possible that both of them could falter enough to give up 6 games?
Does the amount of games vs. the Cardinals make winning the division a more likely route than overtaking the Rockies and Giants, who each have tough schedules?

Dont forget
The Cubs, Marlins and Braves.
PECOTA has the Brewers Wild Card odds at 0.62%, while the Cubs (10.23%), Marlins (3.81%) and Braves (10.74%). All 3 are below the odds for the Giants, Rockies and Dogers. So for the Brewers to get WC, instead of hopping over 2 or 3 teams, they would have to play better than 6 or 7 teams.
Behind the Boxscore has a strength of schedule prediction tool for the remainder of the season, and it puts the Brewers finishing at 79 wins. This doesnt includes this weekends games and it has the Rockies winning the WC with 91 wins.

Does he play a good CF?
My friends who are Sox fans complain a lot about Pods defense in CF a lot. He is a career -5.3 UZR/150 in CF and had pretty bad defensive metrics during his time with the Brewers.
He also has had injury issues, and if you take out his 2003 season with the Brewers and the 354 AB this year he has never been above a .700 OPS for a season.
He might an alright replacement or spot starter, but I wouldn’t feel confident with him as a regular.
by Supertramp on Aug 11, 2009 12:39 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I should have checked the stats before talking about his defense
I’ve always heard he was a good CF. I think I even heard Ozzie mention it last week. If he’s a minus defender, it might not be worth it.
However, if you remove 700+ OPS seasons from anyone, they won’t have any 700+ OPS seasons. My point was that it looks like he may have returned to his rookie form.
If nothing else, I’d love to have him as a backup plan.

I don't know how Hardy would clear waivers.
He doesn’t have the crippling contract that so many players put on waivers at this time have, and despite an off-year at the plate is still one of the better young shortstops in the league.

Complete Text
from Buster’s Column (see link above)
2. Heard this: The Brewers’ J.J. Hardy has not passed through waivers yet, and given Boston’s need for a shortstop, you wonder whether he would be a natural target for the Red Sox if Milwaukee — now six games out in the NL Central — decides to wave the white flag later this month. Boston and Milwaukee had some talks before the trade deadline about Hardy, who is hitting .228 with 11 homers and 45 RBIs, but had a major disagreement at that time about the shortstop’s value. The Brewers wanted top-of-the-line pitching, and the Red Sox thought that was too expensive, given his poor numbers this season, his streaky nature and his escalating salary (he’s making $4.65 million this year and is arbitration eligible). The Brewers, of course, have a shortstop in waiting in Triple-A, Alcides Escobar.
"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."

I don't get the whole "Hardy is too streaky" thing ...
He had a bad April last year, for sure, and that bled into May. But after that, he went (OPS-wise): .969 (June), 1.031 (July), .873 (August), and .751 (September/October). And in ‘07, he had a bad June and July. I mean, unless you’re talking a Pujols-Ramirez-Braun-Longoria type, that’s going to happen. He provides good offense (and solid defense) at an offense-poor position.
Two: the Red Sox are concerned about Hardy’s escalating salary? The team that paid $50 million just to talk to Dice-K, and signed J.D. Drew to a $12 million per contract? Sure.

Escalating Salary
I agree that that seems like the dumbest piece of the rumor. It sounds poorly conceived even for a rumor.

perhaps
he has not passed through waivers yet, because they have not placed him on wavers and because they don’t intend to place him on waivers at all.
so, onley’s article probably just states: the 1) hardy hasn’t entered waivers 2) Boston had some earlier interest in him 3) milwaukee could still trade him to boston, assuming everyone else plays nice and doesn’t claim him off waivers.
I suppose it’s possible that Brewers DO put hardy on wavers, then if another team other than boston makes a claim, they pull him back and can’t trade him for a while (2 weeks?)
Still…i see nothing in that article that doesn’t proclaim: I’m looking for filler. I got nothing. So, I’m going to write some drivel.

Heres how he wouldn't
26 year old very good defensive shortstop
2008: 24 HR, .283/.343/.478
2007: 26 HR, .277/.323/.463
and he is under team control still through next year, without having a monstrous contract.
There are plenty of teams that would love to have a plus defensive SS who has shown decent offensive production the last couple years. I mean, have you seen the shortstops the Royals have been trotting out?

Nothing to see, really
Tons of players are put on waivers this time of the year, just in case. It is supposedly anonymous, and a team can just pull a player back if they don’t like the trade proposal. They just can’t put that player on waivers for the next 30 days.
From a deal perspective, it’s the equivalent of pre-qualifying for a mortgage before you offer on a house. If you are shopping a cleared player, you are more serious than if you work out a deal and have to hope everyone makes it thru waivers.
by Getting Yosted on Aug 10, 2009 3:03 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Right!
I remember reading about that. Most teams pretty much put all their players on waivers and just pull back anyone that’s claimed that they aren’t interested in trading. No one claims a player unless they want them, though, because the team in question could release to the claiming team and that team would be responsible for the player’s entire salary. Teams simply don’t claim players they don’t believe they have a real chance to acquire – if for no other reason than not to be a jackass and mess up all your relationships with the other teams in the league.
The only hope the Brewers would have for Hardy clearing waivers if there’s rumblings about trading him would be if other teams don’t want to be a jackass to the Brewers or Red Sox. I wonder how much waiver trade blocking goes on behind the scenes. I doubt it’s much. That said, if all the Brewers are looking for is quality pitching or a top prospect in return, there’s no reason it would have to be the BoSox as long as someone like the Giants (as mentioned above) really believe they have something to offer.

Red Sox
Usually teams interested in dealing after the deadline make it known so other teams lay off the player(s), but haven’t the Red Sox broken a few “gentlemen’s agreements” over the years? That might complicate things in the way you touched on.

The other side of the trade is why this is tough
The Brewers want front line pitching. That is going to be on most teams’ 40 man roster, which has to clear waivers and young, quality pitching doesn’t clear waivers, gentleman’s agreement or no. So it would have to be PTBNL, with the player agreed on right now but not officially announced until November.
If Hardy is moved, it is to a team in desperate need of a SS for the playoff push with nothing coming back to the Brewers until 2010. Not sure how the fans would feel about that, especially if it is to a team ahead of the Brewers in the wild card race.

Speaking of whom...
anybody else wondering when the anvil will finally drop on Smith? I’m not wedded to the idea that all differences between FIP (or whichever metric you prefer) and ERA are due to luck, but when a guy is running a FIP just shy of 7 against an ERA of 3.62, coming after a season in which he ran a FIP on the other side of 7 against an ERA of 7.85, well… Even with barely 50 innings total, that’s enough to make me concerned. Or do we just assume that since he’s been mostly pitching in garbage time, giving up a homer every 4 innings doesn’t matter anyway?
