Link Dump 5/9: Welcome to the show, Jeremy Brown.

by Sharon on May 9, 2006 8:01 AM PDT

Yes, he's expected to be called up today. grover and a few others had this pegged all along. Brown, not Baker or Suzuki, was on the 40-man roster. It was the only move that made any sense.

I'm going to enjoy this moment. Not for Michael Lewis, Billy Beane, Paul DePodesta, or "Moneyball". I'm going to enjoy this moment, because I know it must be special for Jeremy Brown.

Dump away...

While searching for news on the Angels, I came up on this article in the LA Daily News. I don't know what happened - or if it will be fixed by the time you guys click the link - but the article was full of typos:

So it seems that things actually can get worse for the Angels, who struggled for offense again Monday in a 5-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays and got had what appeared to be a slight medical scare. following the game.

After the game, reliever Scot Shields apparently reported some type of upper chest discomfort following the game, and since there were no doctors presentfrom either team,paramedics had to be called into a paramedics crew had to be present inthe trainer's room. Moments later, Shields emerged but had nothing to say, although he did seem to be in good spirits.

I made no edits to that, folks.

The article does say that the Angels are looking outside the organization for offensive help right now, which is kind of funny in three ways:

They didn't see this coming? Almost every observer pegged the Angels as having a poor offense this year, and for all the talk of depth, the Angels just don't have it. Their "depth" is in their prospects, not major-league ready replacement talent. They've got the Kendricks and Woods, we've got the Kieltys and Perezes. Their future is bright, but there is value to having slightly above-average replacement guys hanging around.
Stoneman doesn't know how to make a trade. If I'm not mistaken, his last two trades were the dumpings of Ramon Ortiz and Jose Guillen (he did get value for Guillen, though). The last in-season trades were the Schoenweiss trade of 2003 (!) and the Alex Ochoa trade of 2002. In other words, Stoneman doesn't target guys and pursue them via trade, so I'm interested to see how it works out for thim this year.

Vlad Guerrero:

slumping at a 864 OPS. He's still on pace for 40 HR and 130+ RBI, but he has apparently forgotten how to hit doubles. More disturbingly, his plate discipline has gone to the dogs: 4 BB, 17 K (he had more BB than K last year). If this keeps up, he's five year OPS trend will be 1010, 1012, 989, 959, 864.

Is that due to production delays caused by conflicting DVD standards, the PS3 will not actually be released until 2013, giving you plenty of time to save up for it. Of course if CalTrans was manufacturing it, by then it would also cost $538,000.

A lot of people have made a big fuss over Kendall's absence. I have written that I think Kendall is unfairly maligned, but I honestly don't see a four- or three-game suspension as a big deal.

Jeremy Brown, already on the 40-man roster, will sit on the bench in an A's uniform for a few days. Maybe he plays to get an at-bat in a blowout or, obviously, in case of injury. And in the meantime, Melhuse gets some playing time.

Gwen Knapp Awful Simile Watch

In the midst of a generally inoffensive yet uninformative column today on Jay Payton, the Chron's Gwen Knapp offers the following simile:

Watching [Frank Thomas] in A's green and gold seems like a mirage placing the Golden Gate Bridge in Manhattan.

C'mon, Gwen, you're better than that. First of all, "Manhattan"? Frank, as you point out, was a career-long White Sock. Why not "Lakeshore Drive" or "the Midway"? Second, "the Golden Gate Bridge"? Relevance to Oakland?

OK, now that I've started, I can't help myself.

... even if [Thomas] doesn't deliver for the A's this year, they haven't lost much. His salary of $500,000 defined his time in Oakland as an experiment.

Uh, Gwen, there's a little thing called an "incentive clause." A little, up-to-$3 million thing.

And does anyone want to try parsing the logic of this next one?

As an offensive player, [Jay Payton] doesn't have a strong defining characteristic (one stolen base since July 2004 and 26 home runs over the last two seasons), but he is one of those quietly dangerous hitters who helps good teams advance to greatness.

When the elevator finally comes, one of his assistants turns to me and says, "I think we're going to fill this one up, why don't you wait for the next one." Bodman and his posse file into the elevator - half empty - and my friend and I have to climb four stories. On the way, we realize that we were barred from the elevator because of capacity, so we figure that one of the agents must have targeted us as security risks.
