We had a nice thread going for about a week following my last post, so I thought I would start another one considering what Desme did today...it's bordering on laughable now.
Wednesday: Phoenix vs. Peo
| Final | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E | |
| Phoenix |
3 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 11 | 17 | 0 | |
| Peo Javelinas |
0 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 11 | 1 |
Weeks 2B: 3-3, R, 2 2B, 2 RBI, Also had a sacrifice in the game.
Desme LF: 3-4, 4 R, 2 HR, 4 RBI, BB, K
Brown RF: 2-5, 3 RBI
AFL Season
Weeks: 10-39, 8 R, 4 2B, 2 3B, 6 RBI, 4 BB, 6 K, 2 SB, .256 AVG, .802 OPS
Brown: 18-51, 9 R, 3 2B, 2 3B, 4 HR, 14 RBI, 5 BB, 15 K, .353 AVG, 1.136 OPS
Desme: 23-49, 19 R, 3 2B, 10 HR, 22 RBI, 8 BB, 14K, .469 AVG, 1.687 OPS
Desme holds the triple crown at this point in the season and is 4 HR off the AFL HR record set by Brandon Wood. Nice job Desme.
Pitching:
Demel: 13.50 ERA, 4 IP, 10 H, 6 ER, BB, 4 K
Friend: 9.00 ERA, 4 IP, 3 H, 4 ER, 3 BB, 4 K
Simmons: 3.52 ERA, 7.2 IP, 7 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 3 K Respectable #s for the Fall League
Storey: 9.00 ERA, 5 IP, 8 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 6K One bad outing is why his numbers have inflated

Desme is ridiculous.
He leads the league in:
*AVG
*OBP
*SLG
*H
*HR
*TB
*RBI
*R
And remember, he’s 4 HR shy of Brandon Wood’s HR record…and we’re a few games shy of the halfway mark.

What about SO?

That's 24.6 %.
That’s still pretty bad, especially considering that this is a ridiculously unsustainable hot streak.
But then again, if you want to look for good news, just keep watching those K numbers, maybe he is improving. No reason to be pessimistic all the time.

Are the parks hitters paradise's in the AFL, or is it just the low quality of pitching causing all these ridiculous numbers?
by Elston Gunn on Oct 28, 2009 10:57 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
I don't know anything about the parks and the park effects,
but it’s definitely not the pitching. Desme spent 2009 split between A- and A+. The players in the AFL are a mix of all minor league levels, A+ to AAA. For example, the four pitchers we sent were Sam Demel (AA/AAA), Justin Friend (A+/AA), James Simmons (AAA), and Mickey Storey (A-/A+/AA/AAA). It’s definitely not poor pitching that Desme’s facing. These are guys that are at least at his level, and most should be above his level. And yet…he’s kicking ass.
And your dream, absolve.

This is true...
But AFL is where you send pitchers to work on things. So It’s unlikely that Desme is seeing the best stuff of any of the pitchers he’s faced.

MLB.com says it's not the pitching. Desme agrees.
Desme’s power isn’t completely shocking — he ranked fifth in the Minor Leagues with 31 home runs in 2009. Still, he has 22 RBIs in his last 10 games, and much of those came off some of baseball’s top Minor League arms.
“Yeah, it’s been pretty surprising, especially since I only played in A ball this year,” Desme said. “This is the best competition I’ve played against.”
by gojohn10 on Oct 29, 2009 7:19 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Of course MLB.com is going to say its against good pitching
because they are trying to sell interest in the AFL to their readers. In reality look at the steaming pile the A’s sent there this year. Demel is the only stuff guy in the bunch.

Steaming pile?
3 guy who pitched in AAA and are among the A’s top 30 prospects, plus Friend who certainly has upside. Aggregate quality of the arms has to be at least AA.

Simmons has fallen appart
Friend isn’t any good, Storey is a reliever who is on the fast track but not an exceptional prospect. I would expect the whole lot of them to produce less than 10 WAR in the Bigs.

In a 600 PA season
…he’d be on pace to hit 105 home runs. We all know this is beyond his true talent level. Let’s scale those numbers back a bit.
Bring him up to start the year with the big league club and he’ll hit at least 85 homers.

Beane's phone is ringing
I can bet you that Beane will take some trade offers for Desme. After the Either trade I feel there is no way Desme will be traded. The strange thing is BA is ignoring what he is doing in AFL. I guess when you are not their high rated prsopect it takes allot to get praise. Desme is still a year away but the future is looking brighter.

That's consistent with their approach...
if you believe in scouting above performance, it doesn’t really matter that much if a player puts up gaudy minor league numbers anywhere, much less gaudy numbers in a small sample. If you are what your tools are, that’s not going to change because of a nice 15 games.
Note: I’m not saying they are always consistent, because they aren’t.

not a 5 tool fan
To me being a 5 tool player is the most over rated system. BA rates their players on the 5 tool system which under rates players that lack 1 of the tools. BA also sticks with players even when they have big struggles in the minors. Once you get below their top 20 prospects its a crap shoot. How many times have you seen a Yankee player rated way high but never see a AB in the majors. Just like most of us they do rate players with their favorite team higher than what they should do.
by Arcman on Oct 29, 2009 9:43 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I actually think that if anything,
they underrate “balanced” players with good but not great skills in all areas, like Aaron Cunningham. They don’t have any hesitation ranking up guys with one particularly standout tool (especially if it’s power— see Halman, Greg). They also tend to underrate plate discipline and, as you noted, stick with struggling toolsy guys too long.
That being said, everyone’s list is a crapshoot once you get below the top 20. Ranking prospects is really frigging difficult.
I don’t think they particularly have it in for teams, however. Yankees prospects get overrated because the Yankees spend lots of money buying toolsy high-profile guys to make up for their mediocre scouting department. The players are overrated because they’re high-profile, not because they play for the Yankees. Likewise, I think a lot of A’s guys get underrated, but it’s because of systemic problems like undervaluing plate discipline, not because of a specific anti-A’s animus (for the most part).

Simmons looking pretty good so far
After 4 innings, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3K (One of the hits which lead to the run was a pop up to no mans land that deflected of Weeks glove and ended up as a double)
It’s been interesting following the start on gameday with pitch f/x. I dont know how much I trust the pitch classification on gameday but it looks like he hasn’t thrown a single change up which was supposed to be a big part of his repertoire in the past. He has been throwing a very fringy fastball that is sitting at 86-88 mph with what appears to be decent movement, a slider sitting around 78-80 mph which has generally been around the plate and has got a few swings and misses, and a slow mo curveball which seems to has a lot of break and is sitting around 67-70 mph which he has located in and around the zone.
Never want to draw serious conclusions from a few innings, but it looks like he is really focusing on the developing not one, but two breaking pitches which is very important for him.
P.S. I hope that fastball has a lot of good late break otherwise… ugh
by DiegoAsFan on Oct 29, 2009 1:40 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
he lasted another 2/3 of an inning
Seemed to really be laboring as the fastball was sitting pretty consistantly at 86 mph and he was struggling to throw strikes. Didn’t really use the curve much in the inning but still would have gotten out unscathed if Desme hadn’t dropped the would have been third out in foul territory. Shame that both of the runs Simmons allowed could be attributed to shaky defense from fellow A’s prospects.

I have to say, this scouting report just dropped Simmons about five slots on my prospect list.

I don't care about the stats, but hearing that a guy is throwing 5 MPH slower than he needs to be
while continuing to struggle with command— supposed to be his trump suit— is NOT what I want to hear.
To put it another way, the one variable that “converges” pretty much instantly (in one or two games’ worth of data) is stuff.

I wasn't talking about stats
Just that I don’t know how accurate Gameday’s velocity readings are as well as the fact that Simmons might be have just had an off day at the end of October that sapped a a few MPH off his fastball.
Either way, putting that much emphasis on this one data point is not a good look.

That's good to know
I am definitely not an expert on radar gun readings and I have a natural skepticism of anything I learn from the internet so I am hesitant to rely too much on gameday stats.
Still I am reluctant to penalize Simmons too much when I don’t have other velocity data to compare to. If his fastball really sits in the 86-88 mph range then that is a big problem, but I am not ready to assume that based of one AFL game.

It's not a big problem for Justin Duchscherer
Or Jamie Moyer. Let’s see how the curve and changeup are doing before panicking about fastball velocity, which the fastball has always been the least of Simmons’ worries.
Simmons profiles to me like Andy Sonnanstine, which is great if it’s 2008 and not so great if it’s 2009.

If a pitcher is that good,
why would his parent team risk injury and send him to the AFL? I doubt there are any pitchers playing in the AFL that is getting promoted to the majors anytime soon. Regardless, with his current play and taking into account his age, Desme should be starting in AAA ball next season. If he can put up good numbers there, then I can get excited about his chances in he majors.

I don't know about that claim
Just of the 4 pitchers the A’s sent I could see Simmons, Demel, and Story all pitching in the majors some time next season and of course Strasburg is there and many think he will start next season in the Nats rotation. Now Desme isn’t hitting against any of these guys but I would guess other teams sent similar representatives.

the significance of desme's play
is that out of all of the hitters playing in the AFL (many of the top 100 propects in baseball) desme is hitting better than ALL of them.
regardless of the pitching, desme is outperforming his peers. considering how little experience he has in comparison to his peers, his performance is remarkable and likely an indication of success at higher levels of baseball.
