Open Thread: Game -5 (Oakland Athletics at Chicago White Sox)

That's right, five Spring Training games left! To be more accurate, this is the second to last Arizona game, as the A's head to AT&T Park in San Francisco for a three-game exhibition set starting on Thursday, April 1st. Opening Day is at home against the Mariners on Monday.

We've got Ben Sheets ready to go today against Mark Buehrle, who currently has a Spring Training ERA about 14 runs lower than his competitor. First pitch is at 1:05.

Lineups are after the jump.

Move Dale up to bat second. Have Kouz bat third with Cust/Chavy fourth. I like Zooks batting 5th.

by Flash G on Mar 30, 2010 1:12 PM PDT up reply actions  

Putting the worst hitter in the lineup first DOES matter though

This isn’t one of those “Should Cust bat 4th or 5th?” discussions. This is a totally egregious error in managing a baseball team. Batting Crisp first is a really, really fucking stupid idea. It’s a fireable offense. It’s such a bad move that it makes me wonder if Bob Geren has been getting sports advice from Tim Donaghy.

Well as far as OBP

Crisp for his career is just about even with Ellis, Suzuki, Sweeney, Davis, and Pennington and most reasonable projection systems have them all between .330 and .340. Add to that the fact that he probably has slightly more power than any of those guys I don’t see how he is clearly the worst hitter on the team. If you want your best OBP guys at the top of the order the only guys in the line up who project to be significantly better than Crisp are Barton and Cust. Sweeney might have a chance to push .350 if he can keep his contact rate and BABIP up so hi might be a good option.

The way I see it the A’s don’t have any really good options to lead off but Crisp isn’t significantly worse than the other options they have.

push his BABIP up?

by Future Ed on Mar 30, 2010 2:12 PM PDT up reply actions  

I don't think Crisp has more power than ANY of those guys, save maybe Pennington

Yeah, Crisp might be slightly better offensively than Pennington. Maybe. If his two bum shoulders aren’t…bum shoulders. So bat him 8th. But Ellis, Suzuki, Sweeney, and Good Davis (if he’s bad Davis, all bets are off) are absolutely superior offensive players.

Crisp is a .325 wOBA guy for his career hitting in parks that are far more hitter-friendly. I don’t see him coming close to that number this year, and I think Ellis, Suzuki, Sweeney, and Davis are absolutely all better than the .310-.315 wOBA Crisp will provide.

So do all the defensive metrics

Davis is, pretty simply, a better defensive player than Crisp. Unless you think all the metrics are very, very wrong, Davis > Crisp.

The A’s are acting like Coco Crisp is something more than a decent fielding CF who can’t hit for shit. I’m trying to figure out why they have this opinion of him. He should be the 4th OF on this team (I’d rather see Gross playing against all righties and playing left field), instead he’s leading off and playing center. This is going to be as bad, if not worse, than the Giambi/Cabrera bullshit that ruined my enjoyment of last year.

by vignette17 on Mar 30, 2010 2:24 PM PDT up reply actions  

You might be right

The difference is track record. We KNOW that Crisp is Crisp. We don’t yet know how good Davis could be. And he did perform well as the leadoff guy last year. I’m not saying sign him to a long-term deal or anything. I just think he should be at the top of the order before Crisp (who has a longer history of kinda bleh plus a major injury).

I’d be fine with Davis, Barton, Kouzmanoff, Cust, Sweeney, Suzuki, Ellis, Crisp, Pennington as the regular lineup. Maybe flip-flop Sweeney and Suzuki for more L/R balance. It gets Barton in the 2 hole where he belongs, gets Cust higher in the order where he belongs. Kouzmanoff simply isn’t good enough to bat 4th. This lineup kinda sucks, too, but it’s certainly better than the one they’re going to run out there.

www.zekeishungry.com

by thejd44 on Mar 30, 2010 3:00 PM PDT up reply actions  

That's almost exactly my suggested lineup

I’d just switch Sweeney and Suzuki so you don’t have Cust/Sweeney back-to-back — two guys whose OPS dips sharply against LHP.

More like "Jane is escaping"

She was, you know, supposed to be on for, you know, about an inning or so, but, you know, Buan kept begging her to stay on for, you know, another half inning and, you know, she was too, you know, polite to bail on him.

speaking of, has anyone else seen those commercials on television

where they seem to be saying that they have the cure for anxiety and depression and, well, apparently, EVERYTHING. The only thing they want you to do is to send away for their CD.

The only place I’ve seen it is on LOGO late night.

It kind of scares me.

it's really pretty creepy!

It’s completely generic.

Do you suffer from depression? Are you crippled by anxiety? and they sammich it between just as generic testimonials.
