A’s Claim Edwin Encarnacion

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | November 12, 2010 at 2:16pm CDT

The A's claimed Edwin Encarnacion off of waivers from the Blue Jays, according to the teams. The third baseman hit 21 home runs last year, more than anyone on the A's. Encarnacion batted .244/.305/.482 and reached the 20-homer plateau for the second time in his six-year career. Oakland GM Billy Beane, who acquired David DeJesus earlier in the week, continues his busy offseason search for bats.

The Blue Jays lost Encarnacion for nothing, but that's no surprise. The 27-year-old earned $4.75MM in 2010 and could have earned even more through arbitration in 2011, so he was a non-tender candidate.

Another non-tender candidate, Kevin Kouzmanoff, now faces an uncertain future in Oakland. Encarnacion has played all but nine innings of his big league career at third base, Kouzmanoff’s position. The A’s also have Conor Jackson, Rajai Davis, Coco Crisp, Ryan Sweeney, Jack Cust and DeJesus, so there won’t be many at bats to spare at DH. It appears that Kouzmanoff’s days in Oakland are numbered, especially since he and Encarnacion couldn't platoon (both handle lefties better than righties).

The Blue Jays, meanwhile, have an opening at third base. Jose Bautista played 48 games at the hot corner in 2010, John McDonald can play third and prospect Brad Emaus has experience there, too. However, it seems likely that the Blue Jays will consider acquiring a third baseman through trades or free agency.

      Is there a penalty for non-tendering? From what I know, this move doesn’t really change anything, except getting a return for Encarnacion (MTBNL or cash).

        Nope, I think clubs expose players to waivers in the offseason like this as it lets the players either get claimed by a club that wants them (E5) or become a free agent (Wise, Tallet) much earlier than if they had to wait to be non-tendered. Basically, it’s a courtesy to the players from management as it lets them start looking for their new contract right away. I always view it as rather classy on the parts of management.

        What’s the point though? He’s essentially the same hitter as Kouz, but nowhere near as good a defender.

        Scratch that. In a down year, E5 put up an OPS 100 points higher than Kouz.

          he’s got a little more power (I think) and his career OBP is .336 compared to .302 for Kouz

          Not a HUGE upgrade but I just think Encarnacion is much more of a home run threat which all the A’s really need.

      It boggles my mind that he was never considered for the vacancy at 1B seeing as how he is an above average fielder, but probably the worst arm in the majors. He can make some incredible quick plays and ‘snap’ throws, but hit him a routine grounder and its in the dirt, ten feet to the side or airmailed. Overbay helped him on a number of occasions, but he’ll be a disaster at third without an ace for a glove at first.

      Watch out for E5, his bat could really surprise. He has such effortless power/ He’s been riddled with different injuries and missed most of spring training last year with a recovering wrist. He also spend some of the off season last year recovering from burns to his face from a fire works fight with his brother. All of that after the injury problems he had in Cincinnati.

      Well the Jays got Josh Roenicke, who could turn into a good reliever, and more importantly, Zach Stewart, who is probably a top-20 pitching prospect (not overall), so it’s not as clear-cut as it seems.

      I wonder if there are any Yankee fans out there that can look past their fat payrol to realize there are other teams than just them. Any ‘real’ baseball fan knows Encanacion was a throw in, in that trade, and the Jays got to very good prospects in Stewart and Roenicke. Considering Rolen didn’t want to play on the Toronto turf anymore, and was making $10M+, it was a good trade for both sides.

      Considering Rolen asked for a trade out of town and was pretty specific in his preferred destinations, I would consider getting a replacement 3B to hold the fort along with 2 solid prospect arms a very nice return. Don’t forget it also saved the Jays 5.5m in 2010 at 3B, money they spent well on the draft and the international market. The trade was a win for both sides.

    Incoming Mark Reynolds trade???

    Frees up third base so I’m thinking that either:

    A) Jays trade for Mark Reynolds and send a good SP like Rzepcynski, with prospects in return.

    B) Jays sign/trade for a big name outfielder and Bautista plays third base.

    Seems like a distinct possibility to me, although I’d appreciate a 3B incoming with a much lower strikeout rate.

      I’ve always wondered about this, and Rzepczenski is one of the guys I would have wanted in return. He’s a groundball specialist who could be a solid 3/4 starter in the NL. Maybe Brad Emaus as well, and Eric Thames. The Jays don’t really give up anything significant, and they get a solid third baseman in return.

      I know I’m wrong here. But with his former coach promoted to the big league staff, I could see Hechavarria promoted to the bigs early on in the season to make a DP combo with Escobar – with Aaron Hill moved to 3rd. I would argue its crazy early to promote him – but I could see it happening.

        Nothing wrong here thinking outside of the box. If a player shit might happen, Escobar could move to 3rd (he’s got the arm) Hechavarria plays SS and Hill continues playing 2nd.
        Escobar could mentor Hech. That too is just a thought.

          No way Yunel goes to third. He’s a short stop. Hill will go to third if anyone does, and because Adeiny hasn’t seen that much big league action and he’s still young, he, if anyone swapped positions, would go to 2B.

        • Lloyd Parsons

          12 years ago

          Totally agreed, Management apparently was the one asking Hill to move over to 3B.
          Maybe the buzz floating around an O-Dawg return is correct. My guess as a 1 year deal until Hechavarria is ready. Then Escobar is moved to 2nd probably in 2012.

        • Jays4life

          12 years ago

          Escobar is NOT switching to 2nd from short, Hechavarria is playing 2nd base next year. It was all over the bluejays scouting pages that he is going to be groomed for 2nd and escobar is the shortstop of the future. Things can change but until that happens Hill is pegged for 3rd sooner or later and Esco and Hech will for the shortstop/second base dou.

    • Sniderlover

      12 years ago

      I’d say nothing is likely in the plans. It was obvious E5 sucked and we didn’t want him and this gives Jays some option such as moving Bautista to 3rd and traded for an outfielder like Upton, Rasmus, Kemp, Ellsbury etc…

      Nothing is likely imminent but it gives Jays options.

    I don’t understand this from the A’s perspective, really. Is Encarnacion really that much of an upgrade over Kouzmanoff with the bat that the A’s are willing to pay more AND suffer Encarnacion’s inferior defense? Their slash lines seem pretty similar to me; Encarnacion hit a couple more homers, but had a lower AVG.

      It doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense, and neither did the DeJesus trade. Maybe Beane is taking on money simply to avoid the hassle the Marlins had last offseason with MLB and the MLPA over their too-low payroll. Maybe it’s why he gave out the Sheets deal last year too.

        I actually didn’t mind the DeJesus trade, the A’s clearly have a surplus of young pitching, and swapping some of it for an above-average outfielder just getting off a career year and still in his prime sounds like a decent deal to me.

      The math –

      A’s need offense. A’s have defense. Edwin has offense. Edwin does not have defense.

      Edwin, while being mostly counterproductive, therefore fits the needs and surpluses of the A’s.

        If only he could learn to throw properly, I think he would be good at defense and he did improve in the 2nd half. He’s got the range IMO but he can’t throw properly even if a ball is hit right at him.

          That’s weird. I’ve seen him make good throws, he never seems to make too many bad throws.

          It’s the glove that fails him. He either doesn’t get to the ball, or the ball gets through him.

          Usually is but this year, he was slightly below average in UZR and UZR/150 and I don’t think that was the big problem like before but the guy can’t throw at all. Even routine plays where he has the all the time in the world but he finds a way to mess it up.

    Encarnacion on a hitting STARVED team, w/o giving up anything, is smart move. No question. It’s what happens next that determines whether the move is the right move. There is no way this team keeps, Cust, Kouz and EE. So, until that is clear, the move is a good one. He’s still young and has pop. No reason to argue in that. In addition, if the A’s stay around a $60 MM payroll, they have about $20-$30MM to spend after getting the Chavey, Sheets and a few others off the books. I think just as the Chavey deal (long and very bad at the end) is off the books, the team is looking to work with players on 1-2 year deals (Crisp, Dejesus, etc). It will allow them to gain players w/ less risk and potentially collect supplemental picks for them when they become FA’s. The idea makes sense since they cannot play in the big boy FA market. They can stockpile these kinds of players and make trades to obtain other players. That seems to be the plan right now.

    As an A’s fan who watched 72 games in the park this year, I can say that I’m more than ready for the Kevin Kouzmanoff era to over. His OBP was .283, which is unacceptable under any circumstances, and every time a play came to him I’d say a little prayer. I’m not sure that Encarnacion is the answer, especially since he’s a defensive downgrade, but his power numbers are very encouraging, and the A’s need all the offense they can get.

      Kouz is a terrible hitter. We all agree on that. But I think with 1 more move (Berkman) and playing the lefty/righty matchups, the A’s could have their top 6 or so batters with .750-.900 OPS. I would’nt mind having a great defensive 3B that sucks at hitting, as long as he doesn’t have to hit cleanup like he did this year.
