NL West Notes: Prieto, Holland, Seager, Giants

By Jeff Todd | October 6, 2017 at 5:08pm CDT

There won’t be any major penalties arising out of the investigation into Diamondbacks coach Ariel Prieto, who was spotted with an Apple Watch during the Wild Card game. The league announced that it has “forensically examined” the watch as well as Prieto’s cell phone, in addition to conducting an interview with the veteran baseball man. With no indication that he improperly used those devices, the league decided upon only undisclosed fines for both Prieto and the team. The funds will be donated to Puerto Rico for hurricane relief efforts.

Here’s more from the NL West:

  • Greg Holland says he hasn’t yet thought at all about whether he’ll return to the Rockies, as Nick Groke of the Denver Post writes. He is seemingly still unhappy with his appearance in the team’s Wild Card loss, which represented a disappointing end to an otherwise quality bounceback season. Holland didn’t quite max out his contract incentives — he needed to finish two more games to earn an extra $2MM — but did tack another $9MM on top of his $6MM base. His mutual option became a $15MM player option along the way, but the expectation remains that Holland will choose instead to enter the open market. While he wasn’t exactly back to his prior form as one of the game’s best relievers, Holland turned in 57 1/3 innings of 3.61 ERA ball with 11.0 K/9 and 4.1 BB/9 while pacing the NL with 41 saves. He’ll soon turn 32 and hasn’t regained his prior fastball velocity since his return from Tommy John surgery, but Holland did sustain an outstanding 15.2% swinging-strike rate on the year and ought to draw quite a lot of interest on the open market.
  • As the Dodgers prepare for a tough NLDS challenge, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times looks at the difficult balancing act the team has faced with star shortstop Corey Seager. The club has sought to ensure he doesn’t overwork himself, particularly (but not exclusively) since an elbow issue cropped up. But the youngster says he “like[s] to work” and has not always seen eye to eye with the organization on the matter. You’ll want to read the entire story, which conveys and explores the tension surrounding the issue as the Dodgers look to convert their excellent regular season into postseason glory.
  • Giants president of baseball operations Brian Sabean discusses some of the organization’s young players with Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area on his podcast. It’s an interesting chat for fans that wish to understand how the top brass sees the farm and player development. The veteran executive also touches upon the team’s increasing incorporation of sabermetrics.

      Be careful what you wish for. Next guy might be a lot worse. Holland is a pretty good closer despite the playoff blowup.

    Give Holland a 3 year/$45 mm extension to stay in Colorado? That’s 4/$60mm for him. Less than Melancon cost so still a decent deal for them.

    Holland had an excellent first half, and I thought he was the MVP on the team through June. Then he faded badly and was unreliable as the season wore on. He had nothing left at the end, and I hope the Rox do not offer him a deal. The Rockies have other options. I’m sure he will find some team willing to take a chance on him.

      Ok how is Tommy John not in the hall of fame. A procedure that he took a chance on has changed baseball history forever!!!!!. Just saying. All these investigations on these petty things is a joke this is just a game. Spending unnecessary money. Next thing you know teams will be fined cause someone put a pea under someone’s mattress and they didn’t get a good night sleep
