Cafardo On Red Sox, Ortiz, Saunders, Oswalt

By Zach Links | November 20, 2011 at 8:54am CDT

The Red Sox need a manager with some backbone, background, and one with plenty of experience, writes Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe.  Because the team lacked discipline last season, he writes, Boston isn't the place for a young manager at this time.  Here's more from Cafardo..

  • Orioles GM Dan Duquette met with Fern Cuza, David Ortiz’s agent, at the GM meetings.  Duquette and Cuza have been close over the years and worked together on deals for Cuza client Pedro Martinez.  Cafardo writes that Ortiz would be an intriguing figure at Camden Yards but in a radio interview over the weekend, Duquette said that he was wary of signing a high-priced DH.
  • Whether the Diamondbacks tender Joe Saunders a contract or not, he becomes an interesting possibility for the Red Sox as a back-of-the-rotation starter.  MLBTR projects that Saunders is in line for $8.7MM in arbitration this year and readers' opinions were split on whether or not the hurler would be tendered.
  • Cubs GM Theo Epstein will listen to offers on Matt Garza and just about anyone on his team in order to replentish his farm system.
  • Roy Oswalt’s agent, Bob Garber, spoke to Red Sox GM Ben Cherington last Wednesday.  The Sox could use his leadership in the rotation but the veteran's price could be prohibitive.
  • One scout who watched Yoenis Cespedes work out last week said that the Cuban outfielder has great power but has concerns that he could be prone to striking out frequently.
  • As the Red Sox look for a pitching coach, Dave Wallace is an interesting name to keep in mind.  Wallace served as Boston’s pitching coach before John Farrell.  Minor league pitching coordinator Bob McClure could also be an option, depending on who the team's next manager is.
  • Cafardo opines that the Cubs should give up outfielder Tyler Colvin to the Red Sox to wrap up their Theo Epstein compensation talks.

    Why would a free-swinging, left-handed hitting outfielder be a good fit? That makes no sense to me. We already have a left fielder who can’t get on base more than 30% of the time.

      Only positive to Colvin, is that he is better than Mcdonald.. Then McDonald is as good as gone anyway now that francona’s latest “love child” after Billy Hall with Francona out the door.

      Interesting on Bobby McClure also.. remember him most as a reliever/swing guy for the old brewers and journeyman of his type do seem to be fair as pitching coaches, ala Dick Pole.. Would not mind him getting a chance.

          Career 4.65 FIP.

          In his big year, ’08 with the Angels, his ERA was 3.41, but he had a 4.36 FIP and 5.59 xFIP.

          This year he had a 3.69 ERA, but a 4.78 FIP and 4.38 xFIP, along with an amazing 1.0 WAR.

          Truly, a good pitcher.

          Now look me in the face and tell me Chris Volstad is a good pitcher with his 4.89 ERA. 1.3 WAR, 4.32 FIP, 3.64 xFIP.

                      You don’t think a good #5 could make a big impact? I’m not saying that he will make a big impact like an ace would. I’m saying that he is a very good option for a back of the end rotation pitcher and could help the team in a huge way. The difference between Zach Miner and Joe Saunders is a big one.

      That’s exactly the point, though, there has yet to be any indication that the Cubs are willing to give up a useful player. They have like four or five players that would be of any use to another MLB franchise and they’ve effectively said they’re all off limits.

      Why would the Cubs want to give New York Garza for those players?  Gardner has speed, but not much of anything else.  Nunez made 20 errors in 2011 at SS and 3B.  Hughes has been injured for pretty much the last two seasons.  For Garza, the Yankees would have to do a lot better than that and that doesn’t include Byrd.  Use the trade of Garza to the Cubs as a guideline of what Theo would demand in return.  You can start with Gardner, but then you include Montero and Banuelos.  Both players are merely prospects and the Cubs want to restock their minors.  No one can say either prospect is a star, because they aren’t.  They haven’t played even a quarter of a season.  Yes, they have potential, but until they have a full year in the majors, they remain just that – prospects.

          He’s right.  Garza is a proven commodity, no prospect ever is until they do it in the show.  I would be a millionaire if I had a hundred bucks for every “can’t miss” or five-tool prospect that is currently slinging hash at Denny’s.  This applies to our own Barrett Jackson.  He has been solid in the minors, but has not yet been seriously tested.

          Most people I read severely over-value prospects, btw.

        gotcha… I am a Cubs fan and obviously under valuing Garza then. I like the idea of Gardner leading off and playing CF in Wrigley and getting pitching back from the Yanks as well. I’d assume they would have the most interest if Theo is really shopping Garza. The Cubs gave up 3 good prospect to get Garza and unless I am mistaken, I don’t believe any of them would be valued as high as Gardner. I could be wrong but wouldn’t Nunez project better at 3rd then SS? I thought Hughes was valued higher and I think all 3 players I suggested would look better in the NL. That is why I asked who would hang up first.. trying to gage Garza’s value… thanks for explaining.

        Gardner is the best defensive player in the entire league. And he has potential to be the steals leader too. Hughes value is low, so why trade him now?

        If there is a package for Garza, it would involve prospects like Romine or Betances, not players on the roster like Gardner, and not top prospects like Montero or Banuelos. Garza isn’t a front end starter, and would not command a package one would offer for Cliff Lee or Felix Hernandez. 

        Get a clue.

          In a week free agent market Garza’s value should be high if the Cubs do in fact make him available. Funny how Yanks fans think the package I suggested is to high and Cubs fans think it is to little. Nunez and Hughes are both considered prospects and Gardner is a slightly above average outfielder. Garza is a top of the line SP under team control for 2 years with proven success in the AL east. The more of these responses I read the more I think my proposal isn’t that far off.

            Garza is not a front end starter. Period. 

            Nunez is a prospect. Hughes has been with the club for 3 years. What other “prospect” do you know that has done that? Comical. 

            If three people agree with you, it doesn’t make it right. Gardner is not a prospect. He is the BEST defensive player in the entire major league baseball. This is not my opinion. It is fact. And he has potential to lead the league in steals, as he’s shown prior. Oh yeah, and he’s dirt cheap for years to come. 

            If you go off the package the Cubs sent to TB for Garza, your proposal is WAY off! There were only prospects involved, no one from the big league club. Do your homework.

              Part of that has to do with the team Garza was traded from. TB didn’t want MLB players back, they wanted prospects because they can’t afford to pay salary on anything and that is how they compete. From your responses you appear to believe Garza is less valuable the Gardner which is just crazy talk. In addition everyone in baseball sees Garza as a top of the Rotation starter minus you. He might not be a #1, but in the Yankees rotation he is behind only CC. Hughes and Nunez are both still prospects.. Hughes has not consistently started over the last 3 years and at the end of last season he wasn’t even considered a sure thing for the 2012 rotation. I tend to agree with some of the others that commented about the Cubs asking for more.

                You don’t understand the word prospect. I recommend looking it up and figuring out what it means in the baseball sense. It’ll help you grasp the situation. There is no way Hughes is considered a prospect, regardless of how his performance has been last year. Prospects are exactly that, prospects, not known commodities. You shed the title prospect when you prove yourself (whether good or bad or average) in the major leagues. There are no more anticipations or expectations or probability of advancements, there is simply knowing what one is, hence no longer a prospect. I can’t believe I’m having to educate someone on this. Actually, I can’t believe I’m arguing with someone who doesn’t understand the term prospect. 

                We can argue what we think, but here are the facts. Gardner had a 5.1WAR in 2011 and a 6.1 in 2010, and In the same time, Garza pitched a 5.0 and 1.6 WAR respectively the last two years. However, because of necessity, I can see why you think Yankees would overpay for a middle of the rotation pitcher (even though last year the Yankees rotation was in the top 10 in ERA), but if the Yanks part with pieces that are crucial to their current and future success, it will be for a top of rotation starter like Cliff Lee, Felix Hernandez, Tim Lincecum, etc., which nobody but you sees Garza as. Sorry.

                edit: Yankees were 11th in team ERA, not top 10… but close enough.

                  Ok… In the technical sense Hughes is not a prospect, but in regards to your own definition, a known commodity he is not. He has only pitched above 100 innings in one season at the MLB level. He has not yet pitched to he potential due mostly to injury. As for your WAR argument, that is not a full picture of value, just one way to measure a player. Pitching is always valued higher then position players… I’ve never heard anyone say “left fielding wins baseball games” but I have heard that said about pitching more then once. There isn’t a single GM in baseball that takes Gardner over Garza. Good pitching is always at a premium, Gardner is a speedy, defensive out fielder.

                    ehh, you believe in what people say, I believe in facts. Just different ways of looking at it, I guess. 

                    But the fact is, despite having “poor” pitching as people say, our offense powered us to the playoffs again. Good pitching is at a premium, heck, even mediocre pitching is at a premium… but that doesn’t mean it’s worth it. I’d be perfectly happy letting Banuelos get a shot at the rotation rather than give up an integral part of the team for a pitcher, unless it’s top end pitching. Then everything changes hahaaha

                    Remember, men lie, women lie, numbers don’t. Cheers.

    Does anyone know Yoennis Céspedes’s official height? Is he 5’10 or 6 foot?
    I am not worried about his swing, I am willing (Jimmy), our batting coach, could work with him. He’s the only coach I like for the Orioles and I believe in him. The dude can cover a lot of ground from what I can see. Another thing about his swing, that didn’t stop the Tigers(Jackson) and Yankees( Granderson) from letting those two play, they strike out a lot. The only one in the AL East who has a good eye is Ellsbury.

    Why do the Orioles have interest in Ortiz? Isn’t he a Type A free agent? While the Red Sox don’t get our “True” first round pick, I don’t want to give them anything for Ortiz.
    As for our DH, we (Orioles) could have had Reimold, Doumit, and Chris Davis, and now Duquette wants to possible bring in Ortiz? Why? The O’s would have saved a lot of money and probable had gotten as much production. Yes, I mentioned Chris Davis as a DH, I think the guy can hit, I am unsure about his fielding ability especially at thrid base, first base he might be ok, but Reynolds is there. 

    The Red Sox are at least trying to do something about their pitching coach. What in the world are the Orioles waiting for with their pitching coach situation?

    My patience is really thin with the Orioles. I am really beginning to question the Whole Entire Organization. From Duquette giving a MLB Contract to Antonelli to Showalter’s inability to hire good coaches with exception to Jim Presley to Peter Angelos and why he simply doesn’t sell the team!

        Among a bunch of others… it’s a terribly misinformed statement.  Even if you limit it to just outfielders: Gardner, Swisher, Zobrist, Drew (though likely no longer in the AL East)

          You guys pick on me …. why????
          Seriously, I was talking strictly about center fielders or at least trying to do so.

          Adam Jones
          Granderson
          Upton

          They all have struck out over 100 times. That is what I was trying to do. Cespedes to play CF, and I am comparing him against other AL East or American League CF’s not all hitters in MLB

    Uh…….I looked in the dictionary under “significant compensation” (you know as the cubs and bosox agreed to in exchange for Theo). Tyler Colvin was nowhere to be found. 637 major league Plate appearances and -0.5 rWAR. 30/100 BB/K in 2010. .150 batting average in 2011. Sounds like replacement level to me. Replacement level is not “signifcant compensation.” Why would Cafardo write such a stupid thing. Maybe he wants a job at the Chicago Tribune. Marlon Byrd would work for me. He could be the right handed right fielder the Sox need and he’s only under contract for a year. The Cubbies should be able to get by without him as he is 34 and will not be a part of the team when they are ready to compete. TYLER FREAKIN COLVIN?

        This is gonna end up in the hands of the Commish. We shall see what John Henry’sbest friend defines significant compensation as.

    No Thank You on Colvin. Yet another AAA player who will rake at AAA and fizzle in the majors. I don’t even classify him as AAAA.

    Cafardo is on crack. NO ONE on the Cubs 40 man roster will be going to the Red Sox.

    Think someone outside the top 20 prospects and someone in the low minors. If you know his name, then he probably wont be part of the compensation.

    Comparable compensation for a GM that became a team president (MacPhail) was a pitcher that was in low A & never even made MLB and $200k.

      Remember the term….. SIGNIFICANT COMPENSATION. The Cubs agreed to it for Boy wonder.

        Yeah, and then they defined “significant compensation” as someone outside the top ten prospects of a system in the bottom third of the league.

        It doesn’t matter how good of friends you think Henry and Selig are, Selig openly wants to keep the perceived value of front office personnel low, so if this goes to Selig’s office the compensation is not going to be significant.

        $200k AND a low A prospect IS significant compensation for front office personnel.

        The Cubs have only offered money. Period. In particular the $3.7 million which the Red Sox will have to pay Epstein to NOT work for them as his going away bonus.

        That is EXTREMELY Significant compensation.

        The Red Sox acted like a jilted lover and asked for completely stupid compensation like major league players or top 20 prospects and were told in no uncertain terms to F’ off.

        The Commissioner agreed with the Cubs and told them both to deal with it in a manner similar to what the Cubs gave up for MacPhail. That was $200k and a low A player.

        Red Sox fans really need to pull their collective heads out.
