Yes, it's Spring Training. You can't take things too much to heart. For instance, it's not like Rich Harden will be a mean, green, strike-out machine during the regular season, and it's not like Kennedy will really sport a 47.65 ERA during the real games, right? RIGHT?!
Our chosen fifth starter takes the mound today for the A's. I'm torn between wanting him to do well, because I would like the A's to get some wins from the fifth spot, and between wanting him to be just awful, so he can move back to the pen, where I cheered loudly for him and we made up nicknames that didn't have 'you suck' as part of them.
A's offense got started late yesterday, but at least it got started. I was a little worried there for a second. You can either worry about your pitching staff OR your offense, but not both, or it's going to be a loooong season.
Post away! Go A's!

anybody know if this game will be broadcast
on 1550am/106.fm? (not that I've had much luck getting the games on fm).
Cactus League Baseball on the radio!
1550 am broadcast starts at 11:30am for Marty Lurie. 106.9 will prolly join at 12 for the A's pregame coverage. Game starts at 1:05 pm PT.
Enjoy.
I'm listening to Marty Lurie show as I type ..
.. on KYCY {SF-1550am} .. and the MLB Audio picks up the feed from KIFR {106.9fm} or sometimes KYCY {even though it shows KIFR on the MLB Multimedia page} ..

Send Gaudin back to the rotation.
Is Mike Mitchell a SP or RP?
RP
hard throwing righty, hasn't yet played above double-A level. Has an excellent slider and sinker. and he's 25 years old.
Sounds like a Saarloos.
Maybe this guy is why Kirk was traded away.

I'm beginning to fear that the F in JFK will be meant in a bad way this season.
Kennedy will give up 5 runs in the first inning..
then Geren will finally take him out of the rotation plans.

Halsey to AAA and DJ gone?
by Randy Bell on Mar 17, 2007 1:35 PM PDT up reply actions
not happening
halsey will be in AAA as the 6th starter, but if nothing changes with DJ and durazo, DJ will get the first chance, with durazo in AAA. i don't necessarily think he'll do much with it, but it makes sense.
thats a lineup of
C1 Kendall
RF Swisher
CF Bradley
DH Piazza
3B Chavez
1B Durazo
LF Buck
SS Crosby
2B Ellis
Just wondering, Zonis...
I view it like this
Windsor is a prospect, and he has potential to be a good starter, maybe a peak of #3 at best.
Basically, if I had the choice between "might be bad, but even so expirience will make him get better" and "will be bad, and much more valuable in relief", I'll take the former.
wtf, buck??
i think zonis has some list making disease. i'd love to know what you think the 25 man roster and lineup will look like tomorrow, zonis. and the next day. what did you think it should be on june 17, 2002?
my thought on this is like so
Stewart is a 4th outfielder. He's somewhat like Payton, except that Payton will play better defense and can play CF and won't get injured, and will hit for more power, while Stewart will get on base more and hit for better average.
But he is still better suited to be a 4th outfielder, and he'll be pretty bad as an everyday left fielder.
I think that Buck is ready and I think he will outpreform Stewart.
And as we will most likely have a large slew of rookies comming up soon, most of which project to be average or good players, and not superstars, its best to stagger their entrance to the big leagues.
The reason being that it is best to lose a guy every year then half your team all at once. And likewise its better to have the growing pains of one or two rookies than 4.
Those soon to be rookies I am refering to are Barton, Buck, Suzuki (replacing Kendall in 08), and our likely 08 5th starter whomever that is.
i want adam melhuse OFF the this team
just like i have the last two years.
he's older than kendall and hit well once like four freaking years ago. it's time to move on. brown or baker couldn't do any worse.
I agree: I've seen Brown and Baker
no, they can do it even better than melhuse
i can absolutely guarantee you that either brown or baker could put up an OPS below 700 this year without being 35 years old.
there is another aspect to this
Baker or Brown have little to no MLB expiriance.
When Suzuki comes up, it would be best to have a backup catcher with some MLB expirience and some knowledge of the staff. Melhuse SHOULD be gone in 2008. So why not have Baker or Brown be the backup this year, get that expiriance, so we don't have a tandom rookie pair of catchers?
pretty much agree on most
except I'd start Stewart in LF and Buck in AAA. Unless absolutely necessary to have him in Oakland it wouldn't hurt to get him regular playing time at the AAA level for a while. Preferable to have him there at least til AS break so as not to start the arby clock.
Kennedy appears to have settled down a bit, thank goodness. I confess to not being sold on Windsor.
Windsor isn't MLB material IMHO
by Randy Bell on Mar 17, 2007 1:38 PM PDT up reply actions
i think it's a bit too early to say that
but it's possible. either way, he shouldn't be our #5 starter right now.
goleski - base hit!

goleski needs to make this team
we have no offense and half our outfielders are injured, how hard can it be.

he will not get zito money next year
I'm reserving judgment, X-box.
ahem
"The body felt good," he said. "The results aren't there still. ... Today I just wasn't putting guys away. I had a lot of 0-2, 1-2 counts, but I just couldn't finish them off."
"I know I'm a good pitcher," he said. "I know I can get outs. ... Hopefully I can turn things around and get ready for the season. I think I'll be OK. Just gotta keep battling."

Ken and Vince keep calling the
1st and 3rd inning pitching "the Kennedy impersonator." But when that sucky pitching has been the norm it begs the question of whether it's really him...at least this spring.
I'm wondering: could the weather have anything to do with it? (desperately grasping at straws here) Haren had a lousy spring 2005, with the explanation that his splitter wasn't biting in the dry air...
in order to be effective Kennedy needs to be able to whip his pitches into the lower corners. Once his pitches flatten he becomes very hittable. When I saw him start two years ago he was fine the first time and a half through the order, or the first 70 or so pitches. After that they began to murder the ball. But he seems unable to locate his pitches this spring.
it's the real Joe K

No Trade Bait
Obviously the A's need to trade for a fifth starter. Problem is, there's hardly any trade bait left, what with Kotsay and Kielty injured and Kennedy's value, even as a reliever, having dropped precipitously. Also, with DJ proving he's an AAAA player, the A's can ill afford to trade Durazo. The only bait left now is Melhuse, along with maybe Perez and prospects, and there aren't that many of them.
The Kennedy experiment is looking an awful lot like the Rhodes experiment.

We got 12 hits in 36 at bats. Gaudin struck out both batters he faced. Piazza is still killing the ball, and driving in runs. Even Dan Johnson went 2 for 3.
But Kennedy is the suckiest suck who ever sucked. Remember: Joe Kennedy sucks = Seek Second Junkey. Which I take to mean as: find some other loser to be the fifth starter! Cuz any other loser will be better than Kennedy.

The Duke should be in the starting rotation
He has the potential to be one of the best 4th or 5th starters and he would like to have the chance. With all the struggles of Blanton and Kennedy, I can't figure out why the A's aren't willing to "think outside the box" more and try different alternatives available like Gaudin and/or the Duke.

Yes, and Loaiza looked sucky too in the first
half of last year. Kennedy will turn it around before camp ends and Harden won't strike everybody out. It's spring freaking training, people! Wouldn't you rather we suck now rather then the real season? The Devil Dogs have a great spring training record, right?
by A'sfansince1970 on Mar 17, 2007 5:06 PM PDT reply actions
of course it's spring training
we all know that.
I for one would like to base my optimism on some performance. That doesn't mean winning meaningless spring training games, but it does mean improving pitching and hitting as the team gets set for the season.
My doubts about Kennedy come from having seen him as a starter, not only his problems in spring training. His poor performance in games that are meant to help prepare him to do better in the season doesn't inspire confidence, nor does the A's continued poor hitting with RISP -- but if none of that concerns you then that's just fine.
The problem, as I see it,
Whatever he's throwing, it's either straight as an arrow, down the middle, lacking velocity, or a combination thereof. The reports are that his velocity is fine, and the desert air doesn't explain a lack of good movement or location with the fastball or changeup (it mostly affects guys who rely on the splitter or on sharp breaking stuff).
The problem is how extreme Kennedy's failures have been. I wouldn't be concerned if he had a 9.00 ERA, and a 9.00 ERA is bad. But we're halfway through spring training now and the guy is giving up about three hits and five runs an inning. Gak.
The A's are making a big mistake ..
.. last time Kennedy was starter on a consistent basis, was back in Aug/Sept of '05 -- and we lost the division to the Angels. Wife and I attended the clinching game in Oakland, and yes, guess what, it was old Joe who started that game. He is simply awful as a starter -- we are on the primrose path to lose the division again in '07 if we are redoing the same thing hoping to get different results ..
by Randy Bell on Mar 17, 2007 9:44 PM PDT up reply actions
Thankfully it IS still only ST ..
.. to meliorate my comment, I'm not saying we lost the division in '05 due to Kennedy alone {nor did I wish to rekindle debate on the '05 season} -- just that this awful ST performance by Kennedy REMINDS me of '05. It also brings back memories of the Angels in '06, when they wasted so much of the first half of the season with Jeff Weaver before moving his younger brother Jered into the rotation. Jeff was awful, and his performance didn't help the Angels' cause.
I just hope the A's don't waste too many games in April-May before we have to conclude once again that Kennedy "doesn't have it" as a starter. Given Loaiza's and Blanton's weak performances thus far, we are looking more like the Twins' rotation right now, with one proven ace {Harden-Santana} and a bunch of unknowns -- well Haren is reliable ..
But the other posters are right to point out it is still only ST -- yet if Joe_K could just get somebody OUT without giving up five runs an inning {as Nico suggested}, it would give A's fans SOME comfort .. {g} ..
by Randy Bell on Mar 18, 2007 6:55 AM PDT up reply actions
Harden can't be compared to Santana
until he can pitch a whole season largely injury-free, I'm afraid. But I agree with the rest of what you say. In fact, I feel very good about Haren's ability to be at least a #2 and perhaps even a #1 in a starting rotaation.
Here's some geren-kennedy remarks from sfgate.com
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...
"Manager Bob Geren remains confident in Joe Kennedy even after his latest rough spring training outing."
.....
"It's spring training. You have to battle through it and figure things out," Kennedy said. "When you're in a rut you have to look for answers and sometimes the answers aren't there. I thought I had it in the second inning. I just have to keep on battling."
......
I just hope we not having to hear a similar excuse line early in the regular season {April-May} ..
by Randy Bell on Mar 18, 2007 7:10 AM PDT up reply actions
That's sort of true
As one who was there, Kennedy did have it in the second inning. He gave up 5 in the first and 4 in the third, recording only one out. The second inning, he did have it. But it didn't last.
What a pair of stinkers...
Just about the only benefit to being at the last two games has been bumping into fellow ANers, eating overpriced ballpark food, and catching sun, because the A's are showing me nothing but nonsense. Kennedy was weak today, with a capital suck. Piazza drilled a 2-run shot, but we were already down 5-0 when he did it. If we continue to give up 4 or more in the top of the first through Sunday and Monday, then maybe Nico will have been right when he said the games' results were clearly my fault.
Hanging out in 97-degree Phoenix...
Did I blame you for the heat?
I see Mister Kenedy is
holding in form....jeebus...STraining, yada, yada, yada... he'll get serious once the real games start... oh, sure, right.
Purchased an HD TV today.....and picked up the HD cable box after turning in my old one....So at least once in a while on ESPN I may see the green and gold in their definitive colors. The irrating part of the purchase was that I smugly presented a Two Hundred dollar gift certificate I had for the outlet...only to be told they expired back on Dec. 31. Only been holding them for two freaking years and this was the first time I noticed that. jeebus!
You can see the A's on FSNHD
Like 50 games a year are in HD, I think.
