NL West Notes: Hosmer, Bumgarner, Rockies, D-Backs

By Steve Adams | February 21, 2018 at 11:47pm CDT

Padres GM A.J. Preller said at yesterday’s press conference to introduce Eric Hosmer that Hosmer’s openness to new data was a key component in signing him (link via Dennis Lin of The Athletic). “[H]e’s a guy with an inquisitive mind,” said Preller. “Those are things that, when we sat down with him, were important to us.” Many have suggested that Hosmer, one of the league leaders in ground-ball rate, could more consistently tap into his power and become a more reliable offensive weapon were he to adopt a more fly-ball-oriented approach.

Regarding the divide between Hosmer’s four Gold Glove Awards and his poor ratings from Defensive Runs Saved and Ultimate Zone Rating, manager Andy Green noted that those metrics don’t account for Hosmer’s ability to pick low throws, nor do they account for “organizational philosophy on (defensive) positioning.” Lin also spoke to Padres lefty Matt Strahm, who teamed with Hosmer in Kansas City before being traded to San Diego last summer. Strahm referred to Hosmer as “Superman” and noted that Hosmer “literally can pull all 25 guys in a clubhouse together, and I’ve never seen that.”

More notes on the division…

  • The Giants and Madison Bumgarner have mutual interest in working out an extension eventually, GM Bobby Evans told MLB Network’s Jon Morosi on SiriusXM radio (Twitter link). However, Evans also noted that the two sides aren’t presently in active negotiations on a new deal, nor is there a timeline to begin those talks. Spring Training is typically the prime time for teams to discuss long-term pacts and extensions with their players, though, so it stands to reason that the Giants will be in touch with Bumgarner’s reps at the Legacy Agency over the next few weeks. San Francisco doesn’t necessarily need to feel a rush to extend the 28-year-old Bumgarner, who can be controlled through 2019 as it is, but working out a long-term deal next spring when he’s just a year from the open market could prove difficult. Bumgarner is earning $12MM in 2018, and the Giants have a $12MM club option on his 2019 season as well.
  • The slow-moving free agent market at least prompted the Rockies to reassess the available options recently, GM Jeff Bridich told Nick Groke of the Denver Post, but Bridich didn’t sound like he was itching to make further additions to his club. “Nothing prompted us or sparked any sort of action because we feel if we’re healthy, we have a strong position group,” said Bridich. The GM did note that Carlos Gonzalez and Mark Reynolds are both players whom the Rockies “have spent a decent amount of time staying in touch with,” though both still remain available in free agency. Bridich also said that the team is open to in-season extension talks for Charlie Blackmon and DJ LeMahieu, both of whom are set to hit the open market after the current season. The same holds true of Nolan Arenado, though he’s controlled through 2019.
  • Following the Diamondbacks’ acquisition of Steven Souza from the Rays, D-backs GM Mike Hazen tells the Arizona Republic’s Nick Piecoro that his team’s “heavy lifting is done.” As Piecoro notes, this week’s pickups of Souza and Jarrod Dyson will push the team’s payroll into the $130MM vicinity — an easy club record. But, the team is focused on winning right now, with Paul Goldschmidt still under control for two more seasons and still in his prime. Piecoro also suggests that the D-backs “seem ready to move on” from Yasmany Tomas, who is owed another $46MM as part of the ill-fated six-year, $68.5MM contract he signed before the 2015 season.

      Castillo wasn’t even that bad, they just expected him to have an immediate impact and never gave him a 2nd chance. People tend to forget there’s a human being behind all the millions. You don’t just get a dirt poor guy from an island in the middle of nowhere, give him $70m+ and throw him in the biggest country in the world, and expect him to function like a normal person, let alone an athlete.

      Independently of all that. You don’t give 70m to an unproven player from a league that is comparable to double A at most. That was just a dumb contract, but these are the same people that gave Hanley 4y/$88m, Sandoval 5y/$95m, and Porcello 4y/$82..5m

        Plus, it’s not like the Red Sox are handicapped by those contracts… They’ve still been able to go out and do things to improve the club.

        It’s not the same people that signed HanRam and Sandoval – that was previous GM Ben Cherington, was it not? DD/Mike Hazen assumed their roles in 2015, after those deals. Porcello was them, but you could argue in this market where SP has gotten pricier, that that was not a dumb contract since he won the Cy Young in the 1st year of the deal even if 2017 was forgettable.

        Fact is, BOS has the leniency to give out a few bad deals with the stockpile of controllable stars they have in Betts, Bogaerts, Benintendi, Devers, Bradley, etc.

          Porcello WAS Cherington and it happened in April. DD wasn’t around until end of that season.

          And for the record, Porcello won the Cy Young during that contract. I’m pretty sure by any measure, even one Cy year justifies a contract for a starter. And I say this as a Sox fan who regularly swears at this guy on TV and in person.

    There you go. The Padres needed a $21 million first baseman with an inquisitive mind. That explains the deal. The chance that a guy like Hosmer will successfully change his swing angle is remote. If he tried to do so, it is much more likely he will mess up his swing.

    As someone who watched Hoz field in KC, let me explain what I think the Padres are getting. Hosmer has great hands. But he never learned the basics of fielding first base. He backs up on many bad throws (especially bounced throws), giving up outs and risking injury. He literally sometimes is on the foul side of the line trying to pick up a bad throw. His hands and skills result in many nice scoops, but he also does that wrong. He pushes the glove towards the ball, rather than bringing the glove back to cradle the ball. On balance, I think his scoops are a plus – maybe 5 to 10 extra outs (all first baseman are fair to good on scoops). As to range, it is very hard to tell. On grounders, like on scoops, he pushes his glove toward the ball and blows some plays. He did that in Game 1 of the 2015 WS and cost the Royals a run that would have made the difference except Gordon came through with a 9th inning homer (and Hoz drove home the winner in the 14th with a bases loaded sac fly).

    He will provide about an 820 OPS and the Padres will lose about 90 games. He is unlikely to play on a division winner during his 5 year contract. I read somewhere that the Padres “gave great money to a good player.” I think that is right. I wish he would have used that leadership magic the last two years in KC where pretty good teams finished 500.

      Guys change swings fairly often, at least to the degree they seem to be talking.

      A few degrees in launch angle is the difference in a routine grounder that a 2b gets to or a hard it ball in the hole.

      Adjusting his launch angle can be done by making minor changes to a swing.

      Soery, but I trust the coaching staff’s knowledge more than yours.

      Food for thought since I haven’t watched every scoop made by Hosmer. In general short hops, the fielder wants to go after the ball with his glove to prevent any unseen skipping or spinning. And long hops, the fielder is more likely to cradle with soft hands. Most tough scoops by first basemen are short hops.

      Most coaches would rather the first baseman go into foul ground to prevent an errant throw from going into the dugout. But I do agree that keeping their foot on the bag at that point is I’ll-advised.

      Do you realize how many players have made that change? Rendon, Donaldson, Smoak, Lindor, Murphy, half the Rays’ team, Haniger, Alonso, Turner, etc. It’s a long list. Some have struggled, or traded power for contact, but there’s plenty of positive examples.

      What do the Padres really have to lose by trying? If you’re convinced they’re not going to win with him as-is, and they’re now stuck paying him, it kind of makes sense to see if they can squeeze something more out of him, doesn’t it?

      Matt Adams is almost exclusively a platoon player because of his weakness against lefties.

      But Adams is a career +14 DRS, +8.3 UZR, to Hosmer’s -21 DRS, -29.0 UZR.

      Since 2016 Hosmer has been last in UZR (-8.7) third worst DRS (-13) among all First Basemen.

      It baffles my mind, he won four of the last five 1B Gold Gloves (2013-2015, 2017) Must be because of Scoops (First among First Basemen, since 2016, with 70)

    If Hosmer settles in as a 3.5 WAR player and provides all these unbelievable intangibles he apparently possesses I suspect his contract will become less of an issue. But it seems that SD is paying for projected on the field improvement, and that’s a dicier bet.

    So how will The D-Backs utilize their outfielders like Souza and Dyson? I would put Souza in RF/LF over Tomas. Let Dyson be the bench speed/late game defensive replacement, and let Tomas be the RF/1B off the bench. I also wouldn’t be surprised if they just outright released Tomas. That contract has not panned out at all, except for one ok offensive season.

      If you look at the Dbacks roster, there isn’t a spot for Tomas on the 25 man as it sits now (w/o injuries). Besides the power he is a boat anchor. Tomas maybe ends up being a power bat off the bench that sees the field as little as possible. I suspect they would consider moving him for another bad k, but that power potential probably convinces them to keep him one more season. I don’t think there is much of a chance that they will release him, but AAA is a real possibility.

    When the rays designated corey dickerson the padres should have opted to claim him and place him at 1st or in the OF instead of signing hosmer.

    Dickerson has 2 years left via arb and will make less than 20 mill in those 2 years combined. And dickerson has shown to be better offensively than hosner with a career OPS+ of 119 while Hosmer has 111.

      My guess would be that Arenado wasn’t interested in signing long term yet. It will be interesting if the two sides can come to terms on a deal before Blackmon or DJ go to free agency. I would think the Rockies would want to lock Arenado up before they sign Blackmon or DJ. Even though those two reach free agency a year before Arenado does. The Rockies do have infield and outfield depth to replace both Blackmon and DJ….though they aren’t at the same level as those two players yet. Replacing Arenado though is a much tougher thing to do.

          The #1 solution to keeping all three players is to sign them all to extensions. I’m sure they would each like to stay in Colorado, but it will take some serious money to keep them here. I’m thinking Rodgers at shortstop if Story continues to struggle.

    Question. If the Giants extend Bum this year, does the AV for his contract go up. And if so , all the work they’ve done to stay under the Tax goes out the window. So unless I’m wrong, which I am several times a day. This extension, won’t happen till next spring and then anything can happen.
