Open Thread: Spring Training Game 4 - A's vs. Indians
by Nico on Feb 28, 2009 9:22 AM PST

PrintIt's Dallas Braden's turn to make a Cactus League debut, and let me tell you this guy is a lovable whack-job. The latest addition to the Braden family is a handlebar mustache tattooed along the outside of his finger which, when lifted alongside his upper lip, creates what teammates are calling an "alter ego that needs a name." You should have heard Cindi just guffaw when she read that, going "Omigod, sell me a break!!!"
We'll see what arsenal Braden unleashes on hitters today, but don't expect to see the scroogie on February 28th if you even see it at all this season. Meanwhile, Eric Chavez is still DH-ing, Mark Ellis can't run the bases for fear he could jam his shoulder, and Duchscherer has emerged from a 20-pitch bullpen session none the worse for wear but with March 12th targeted for his Cactus League debut. So while we're all pining for Opening Day, it's actually good that 37 days still separate today's game and the season opener.
The A's expected lineup, courtesy of Susan Slusser:
Travis Buck - RF
Ryan Sweeney - CF
Matt Holliday - LF
Eric Chavez - DH
Landon Powell - C
Jack Hannahan - 3B
Cliff Pennington - SS
Sean Doolittle - 1B
Adrian Cardenas - 2B

37 days??
God, help us.
and yeah, let 2009 be the year Braden spends the entire season in the Bigs. I can’t help but liking that guy..
Ellis for President
so how long 'til Nomar decides if he is...
going to play or not this year?
What is O-Cab waiting for? Is he hoping another team’s SS gets hurt this spring? Is he on a WBC squad waiting to showcase his talents?
A’s should sign Reyes now, why wait for Nomar to decide?

How about what's Manny waiting for?
An offer of more than $45million from the Giants? Or is there a “mystery team” again?
I agree, the A’s should sign Reyes, wait to see what Nomar decides, and just gamble that maybe McCrosby can do as well or better than O-Cab anyway.

In the NL West, they have a contending team right now
and there are other avenues to improving their offense if they feel the need. They’ve made more than fair offers to Manny. If I were them, I certainly wouldn’t offer any more than they’ve already offered.

where is all of the roster space
if we sign reyes and nomar, not to mention o cab.
If we sign nomar = jack hannahan is gone
Reyes – blevins?
then what about mulder? – minor to start the season, but with duch and his AARP hip and now elbow issues – we might need mulder sooner then later
Blevins is in
A bullpen of Devine, Ziggy, Blevins, Springer, Reyes, Wuertz, and either Casilla or one long reliever (from Outman, Gio, J. Williams, E. Gonzalez) seems good to me.

Really off topic question for fellow AN'ers
Does anyone else hate the Giants as much as I do? I don’t know what it is, but I have an active hatred for them. Of course I dislike the Angels more, but I really hate the GIants.
I'm from Illinois
So I don’t have as much hatred for the Giants as I’m sure all of you do. I like to focus on the Yankees, Cubs, White Sox (as long as they have AJ) and Angels when I decide to give a team some good hating.
I hate the Giants. My brother and my father are Giants fans.

Cardenas is Latino
the name is Spanish. It’s spelled with an accent on the “a” —otherwise the accent would be the next to last syllable.
One of México’s most famous presidents was named Lázaro Cárdenas.
and that’s your Spanish lesson for today…
I have no idea what color he is
but he is latino from Miami…and his last name is Spanish. Spanish names have very clear and consistent rules as far as pronouncing them.
Dude will not stop mispronouncing Latino players' names

He's fast enough to be 9 for 10 in stolen bases
He just hasn’t played a ton of center fielder. I expect he’ll get better.
What’s strange is that Sweeney rates as an amazing right fielder, but a poor left fielder (and poor center fielder. It’s inconceivable to me that there’s a 5 win difference (about 50 runs based on UZR/150) between his defense in right and his defense in center.

by thejd44 on Feb 28, 2009 1:30 PM PST up reply actions
9 for 10 doesn't suggest blazing speed
40 SB would, but 9 out of 10 suggests he’s a good baserunner – like Chavez, Crosby, and Ellis, none of whom are slow but who also don’t really have “CF speed.”
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
I agree with this
And until I saw your other post up there, I thought you were saying he was slow. I agree he doesn’t have “CF speed,” whatever that means. Speed isn’t really the most important factor for outfield defense I don’t think. Jim Edmonds was never that fast.
by thejd44 on Feb 28, 2009 1:33 PM PST up reply actions
What concerns me most is that in order to play CF well,
Sweeney seems to need to play very deep. I think the combination of his speed and overall ability could allow him to play a decent CF, but he must be a lot more comfortable coming in than going back or something, because he spots a team so much room between him and the infield. That’s what worries me most. He just isn’t fast enough to play as deep as he does.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
I think he's not fast enough to play shallow.
Or, at least, that’s his line of thinking: Better to keep the ball in front of you instead of getting burned on a deep ball.

Now now - just because "everyone's doing it"
doesn’t mean it’s ok.
Nah, I’m kidding – drugs for everyone!!!!
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
Hopefully a player/ executive
has the cahones to tell them after the game how to pronounce their own team’s players names.
Never mind the stress here's the Dank ~RIP~Justin Huff
Someone should do JIM-ih-nez a favor
and tell him how his name is really pronounced.

Because, you see, even if the home team doesn't score
they will win the game, see? Of course, Game 1 ended in a 3-3 tie – but that’s easily explained by the All-Star game. Here’s Bud to tell you about it. Bud?

Because they actually do keep score and records and stuff, I guess
I understand the point: why not let that team get some at bats and let the losing team have another pitcher get in some work? But i guess they want to keep things close to real baseball.
