Open Thread: Spring Training - A's vs. Royals
by Nico on Mar 14, 2010 12:45 PM PDT
Email
PrintIf you've been going "Where's the game thread???? Why isn't it up yet????" for the last 45 minutes, let me remind you that Pacific Daylight Time kicked in while you were sleeping (or drinking, or whatever it is you do at 2:00am that we don't need to discuss around children). The games have always been at 1:00pm Arizona time, but today the Pacific time zone heroically caught up to the Mountain time zone and I, for one, could not be more proud.
The starting lineups? Hey, if you wanted to know the lineups so bad you'd be here at the stadium, like I am. None of this Internet enabling from me. (And there's the slight complication that I wrote this intro 6 days ago, and Geren didn't return any of my texts asking, "whaddre dalineupps neckssunday????")
I'll try to recap today's game later, eyeball style, if I can. But now sit back, relax, and enjoy all the excitement of 2010 A's baseball...

cruel - here's the lineup
thanks to Slusser’s tweet:
Lineup vs. KC: Davis LF, Ellis 2B, Suzuki C, Kouz. 3B, Chavez 1B, Cust DH, Sweeney RF, Patterson CF, Pennington SS, Cahill P
Slusser thinks this looks “opening day”-ish, minus Crisp and Sheets
you're so service-y

she has a story for about barton's eye surgery
linky here reminds me of a thread recently and a debate about whether this is an unfair advantage or just corrective action
hope he doesn't get the halos around lights effect in night games
some people who have this surgery end up with that problem.
If I remember right, that can be alleviated with contacts
Even after surgery, nearly zero prescription contact lenses can help with halos at night. (insert Angels joke)

By the way, the first round of cuts were today.
The Oakland A’s have reassigned right-handed pitchers Sam Demel and Matt Wright, left-handed pitcher Cedrick Bowers, catchers Joel Galarraga and Max Stassi and infielders Grant Green, Dallas McPherson, Jemile Weeks, Matt Whitney and Corey Wimberly to their minor league camp
Taken down with hearts alive, our hearts alive.

Does fox make the team?
He hasn’t done much. The problem I see is if fox gets cut and then chavez gets hurt like week 1.
by gambler on Mar 14, 2010 12:55 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
yes, that is an intriguing problem
Fox has looked pretty bad so far in his ab’s.
"By the end of the year, I'll have Dallas throwing right-handed'' -Ben Sheets
Fox has no options left
I have this theory he will make the team as backup catcher. No way he gets waived after they traded three players for him this winter. Also, he’s a pretty intriguing player, although he hasn’t shown much in ST.
What are the chances...
that Rosales goes to Sacto and Chavez is the backup SS? Then there’d be room for Fox. This seems really unlikely, but wasn’t Chavey supposed to be taking grounders at shortstop this spring?

by Philip Christy on Mar 14, 2010 1:01 PM PDT up reply actions
No way
I think there is a reason that Chavy is only playing 1st or DH… His arm will absolutely fall off if he has to make any throws. And if he can’t do it at third, no way he’d do it at ss.
When its time to shoot, shoot... don't talk
by Charlie O the Mule on Mar 14, 2010 1:06 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
am i wrong in thinking there is way more action at SS overall.....more stressful for the body.
if that’s the case – i can’t imagine it would be good for Chavy
Chavy just made the out, 3-1, tossed underhand.
Maybe he could play 3B and throw underhand!
A Ballade [for the Angels Fan], by Eustache Deschamps: "We are cowardly, ill-formed and weak / Aged, envious and evil-spoken. / I see only fools and sots / Truly the end is nigh / All goes ill."
I think the odds are 50/50
Chavey was working out at SS today and will be playing there soon. Its obviously something they are thinking about because it solves some problems.
Just depends on his shoulder surviving.
if we assume that the A's will have 12 pitchers on the opening day roster
the position players that for sure make the team on that day are Davis, Sweeney, Ellis, Kouzmanoff, Suzuki, Powell, Cust, Crisp (if healthy), Chavez (if healthy).
That would leave four spots available. Candidates are: Gross (likely to make it), Patterson (out of options), Fox (out of options), Buck (has options), Barton (likely to make it, has options), Pennington (likely to make it, has options), Rosales (has options). If the three who are likely to make it do so, that leaves only one spot and four candidates, two of whom are out of options.
The A’s will wait til the last possible minute to make this decision.
I don't think it's a guarantee Powell starts the season on the roster
Fox being out of options might mean Powell gets sent down.

that's true, it can mean that
although from what Geren has said it appears that they want to keep Powell up and give Suzuki a few more days off than he had last season
I'll believe that when I see it.
I’m sure they’re determined to run Zooks into the ground.

A's play 14 straight games to start the season.
If they had two days off, you could roll your dice with one catcher, but not 14 straight.

hi no longer has to take prednizone, which has allowed him to lose weight. So he may be able to play more often. (That doesn’t mean he’d start more than two games a week catching.)

There's no such thing as "liberal fascism" (cf. military intelligence)
In 1967, social theorist Jurgen Habermas accused the German student movement of “left fascism”, after Rudolf Dutschke exclaimed that “Professor Habermas, your objectivity devoid of concept is crushing the subject of emancipation.” Habermas was disturbed by the voluntarism in Dutschke’s characterization of the student movement. Russell Berman writes on it here, and there are many other sources.
A Ballade [for the Angels Fan], by Eustache Deschamps: "We are cowardly, ill-formed and weak / Aged, envious and evil-spoken. / I see only fools and sots / Truly the end is nigh / All goes ill."
Remember, in those days, 'liberal' meant something else
And still does in Europe – ‘liberals’ are centerists, for the most part. In the US, the term has come to mean ‘Left Wing’ (even though by most measures, they’re not especially lefty).
Still, it sounds like a load of reactionary claptrap to me, either way
I suspect that you think tilting at windmills means something other than what it does.

Excellent point! So, if only Michael Savage had Habermas's politics!

perhaps one or two of those days at DH, or coming in off the bench in a pinch hitting role. Geren didn’t specify.

Well, that sucks for Barton. But realistically, no way that actually happens right? Maybe for a month at most. Still, I agree, that’s pretty stupid.

I would argue
