| 2012-02-02 15:00:00 | For Fantasy baseball 5x5 Roto: I have had a horrible time with WHIP/ERA. I am thinking I would rank starters this year by 3 year average 150+ K's and eliminate ERA's above 4. Is this a good plan? (karysingh from Key Largo) | When it comes to SP's I'm always more concerned about protecting ERA/WHIP than anything else, but having a great bullpen helps offset that somewhat. But, don't eliminate pitchers at any ERA level without looking at the underlying indicators, because as discussed earlier WRT Morrow and Nolasco, a high ERA can sometimes mask better skills than the raw numbers would indicate. Don't forget James Shields and Trevor Cahill in 2010... (Cory Schwartz) |
| 2012-01-24 13:00:00 | Will Trevor Cahill see a bump up in his K rate with his move to the NL West? (PJ from Bronx) | Certainly. A move to the NL usually bumps a player's K/9 up by half a point, and I do like his stuff enough to think that he might have some natural K gains left in him. (Derek Carty) |
| 2011-08-24 13:00:00 | What would you do with the A's? Trevor Cahill has been terrible for the past few months. Brett Anderson is likely out for most of next season. Kurt Suzuki has regressed badly at the plate. Their free agent acquisitions didn't help them contend this season and they didn't deal them at the deadline, so there's no space to let prospects audition. Then again, their prospects (Chris Carter, Michael Taylor, Adrian Cardenas, Michael Choice, and Grant Green) all have some major flaws. (Tom from Madison) | Besides moving to a new stadium somewhere? Here’s what Beane said in Tyler Kepner’s piece yesterday: “Sometimes, you’re relegated to buying that lottery ticket. Anybody will tell you that the lottery is not a great way to invest your money. But sometimes, you don’t have a lot of options.” Post-Moneyball Beane sounds more and more like post-Super-System Doyle Brunson every day. My advice, though, would be to find a bopper somewhere, since there’s no one in the system ready to hit in the middle of the order. Cahill, McCarthy and Gonzalez should be good enough to make you competitive even with Anderson hurt. Sign Willingham to a reasonable 2-year deal if you can, but don’t go longer than that. Cross your fingers that Jemile Weeks and Brandon Allen can be building blocks. But mostly, find a bopper. Crazy thought: find out how much of Adam Dunn’s contract Kenny Williams would be willing to eat.
this offseason. (Ken Funck) |
| 2011-04-18 13:00:00 | Trevor Cahill has shown a significant uptick in K/IP rate this year and his performance has been accordingly excellent. His rates in the minors were strong and significantly better than his first two MLB seasons; is the improvement sustainable over the rest of the season and do you now think he's a legit #1 starter? (Silv from NY, NY) | Legit No. 1? No. Improved and damn good? Sure. Legit No. 1 is the highest of praise, and you don't need more than two hands to count those. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-02-22 13:00:00 | What can I expect from Trevor Cahill this year? (bird627 from Boston) | More intelligence than 95% of all players in the league. I think he gets better in 2011 (better command). I really like Cahill (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-02-08 14:00:00 | Trevor Cahill -- regress because of his low BABIP or does he take a step forward? (Dave from Chicago) | He regresses -- but not as much as some people seem to think. He'll still be very good. (Ken Funck) |
| 2010-08-26 13:00:00 | How much of a fluke is Trevor Cahill? (ChrisHurst from Brandon Manitoba) | Think of it this way--as good as Jon Garland has been this year, if he left the confines of Petco, would you still buy him as a guy with a low 3's ERA? Cahill has the benefit of Oakland's D, a home park that kills offense, and plenty of luck. He's much closer to league average than he is to ace, even if there are some factors that muddy that difference and help him produce a shiny ERA. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-08-04 13:00:00 | What do you think of Trevor Cahill's season? (Dave from Chicago) | That rant on Firefox must have seemed like a non-sequitur. See, I answered this question on Cahill, then finished by saying, "I think my browser is about to crash. Please give me a moment to restart." Apparently it took my answer with it. I'm quite enjoying Cahill's season, but I worry that he's going to regress, that his low, low BABIP is not just the result of a groundball-oriented approach but a goodly amount of luck. As a Tommy John fan going back to my misspent youth, I love this kind of pitcher as much as I do the strikeout artists, but very few of them are as consistent at it as TJ was. The sinker is just not an easy pitch to master. (Steven Goldman) |
| 2010-07-29 16:30:00 | I don't have any illusions that the A's are anything but pretenders this season. But with Trevor Cahill and Gio Gonzalez taking steps forward and assuming a healthy Brett Anderson, what do the A's need to do this offseason to have a shot at the playoffs in 2011? (Dave from Chicago) | The A's probably aren't going to be big spenders, so for them, it's really a matter of adding value. Getting someone like Ben Sheets clearly didn't work, but smart risks are obviously something the A's need to be good at to succeed. They have a lot of young talent, so most of their success is going to hinge on those players improving. (Matt Swartz) |
| 2010-07-01 14:00:00 | I would love to hear your thoughts on Trevor Cahill's success this year. The K rates are rising! (Eric from Iowa) | As they say over at NeoGAF . . . believe. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-03-25 14:00:00 | Hey Joe,
Care to share some of "your guys" for this season? (Fred from Houston) | I've been including some of these in the pieces I've been writing for Rotowire, but off the top of my head...Trevor Cahill, Drew Stubbs, Alfredo Aceves, Rickie Weeks, Dexter Fowler, Chris Outfielder Young. Ruben Gotay if finds his way to the majors. (Joe Sheehan) |
| 2010-03-23 16:30:00 | Wither Trevor Cahill and Fausto Carmona? Will they be effective pitchers this season? (Jasper the cat from Birdwatching) | I mean, both have trouble getting Ks, and neither has great control. Carmona has better ground ball skill, and SIERA showed us that extra ground ball skill beyond just being slightly above average has an accelerating effect on preventing runs. So, I guess Carmona might be a better bet. Neither seem particularly good at missing bats, though, and that's the most persistent pitcher skill. (Matt Swartz) |
| 2010-03-08 13:00:00 | How do you think the A's should round out their rotation between Trevor Cahill, Gio Gonzalez, Vin Mazzaro, and Clay Mortensen (long shot, I know)? (Dave from Chicago) | I don't pretend to know more than the A's about their own pitchers. Obviously Sheets will mix in there. I think the interesting thing will be how they apportion the innings. Do they put some of those starters in the pen? Do they set up a Sacramento shuttle? There's a certain number of innings that you want from your starters - let's say its 972 (6 innings per for 162 games). How do you get the BEST outcomes in the most number of those innings? (Will Carroll) |
| 2010-01-19 15:30:00 | Brandon Morrow or Trevor Cahill? Long term who do you like? (Hawkeye from ND) | That's a really tough question, because you have Cahill's low K-rate versus Morrow's high walk rate. I'd like to think that with the latter, the Jays might leave him alone long enough for him to get the problem nailed down to a point that it's livable. Cahill really needs to imrpove his command past where it was last year to be a long-term success. (Steven Goldman) |
| 2009-10-02 14:00:00 | What will Brett Anderson and Trevor Cahill look like in two years? (Brendan from Chicago) | Hudson and Mulder. (Joe Sheehan) |
| 2009-08-04 14:00:00 | As the season has progressed, Brett Anderson has taken several steps forward and improved. Trevor Cahill, on the other hand, seems to get hammered start after start. At what point should we be concerned about him? (Dave from Chicago) | 2011 or so. At this point, what's left of the A's season is one long exercise in singing, "Tomorrow, tomorrow, there's always tomorrow..." because baseball can never have enough Annies. Dispirited fandom moment aside, though, Cahill had back-to-back bad games following a quality start (although that was against the Twins). There's going to be an adjustment period, especially while he's not fooling all that many people of late. Given the breadth of alternatives, if sheef fatigue becomes an issue, I would anticipate he'll get shut down, having seen what they need to see in terms of Cahill's having a place in the team's future. (Christina Kahrl) |
| 2009-07-09 13:00:00 | Should Trevor Cahill be sent back to the minors? He's gotten lit up the last few starts and even when he didn't give up many runs, his peripherals haven't been strong and seems very dependent on a good defense behind him. (Dave from Chicago) | I just caught up with the Athletics last weekend and they seem very committed to riding out whatever storms their young pitchers encounter. So I'd say Cahill stays in the majors unless it just becomes too obvious that he is losing all confidence. (John Perrotto) |
| 2009-04-08 15:00:00 | I know it's early, but who are some names we should be looking at for the A's first round pick in this draft? Is the 13th pick too high for Mike Leake, who they drafted out of high school the same year as Trevor Cahill? (Dave from Chicago) | Leake is the kind of guy who gets a lot of varied reports, despite his great numbers. Undersized righties tend to do that. As a college performer type, I'm sure he's on Oakland's radar, but this year's draft is seriously messed up. You'd have problems projection the number two pick right now, so forget about 13. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-04-08 15:00:00 | Analog time, Madlibs-style! Trevor Cahill is to Big Black as _____ is to _____. (chris from bkyln, ny) | Brett Anderson; Naked Raygun. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-04-06 13:00:00 | The A's have taken Trevor Cahill and Brett Anderson, highly regarded pitching prospects with little experience over A-ball, and put them in the Opening Day rotation. The Rangers have taken Neftali Feliz and Derek Holland, highly regarded pitching prospects with little experience over A-ball, and put them in AAA, with Nolan Ryan saying they will likely initially pitch out of the bullpen when they do get to the majors. Which path do you think is preferable? (X from Y) | I lean towards the latter, although the pitchers in question are so different that the divergent approaches probably work best for each pairing. It's worth noting that breaking in pitchers in Oakland is much different than doing so in Arlington, so you can push the envelope more. (Joe Sheehan) |
| 2009-02-16 14:00:00 | I think most A's fans are wondering why Brett Anderson and Trevor Cahill are so low, and Michael Inoa is so high.
Also, how close did Aaron Cunningham come to making to top 100?
(A's fan from Oaktown, CA) | I'm not a huge Cunningham guy. I like him plenty, and his a big leaguer, but I'm not sold on a star ceiling. As far a Cahill and Anderson go, I have them as the 23rd and 24th best prospects in ALL OF BASEBALL, and that's low? I don't get those arguments. Inoa is so high because EVERYONE I talked to that saw him did not talk about his talents as being good, that talked about him being historic. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-02-11 14:00:00 | You already answered my Dmccutch Q, good amount of yankee questions.
I'll switch it up; better career: Trevor Cahill or Brett Anderson? (Spezzaz0r from NY) | Cahill. I like guys with firmer fastballs, though I must I was impressed with Anderson's outlook on pitching when I had a chance to chat with him at the Futures Game last year. (John Perrotto) |
| 2008-08-20 13:00:00 | Brett Anderson or Trevor Cahill? I am leaning towards Cahill, am I leaning the wrong way? (Scott Frew from Oakville) | I lean with you, but there are plenty who lean the other way. You can honestly make a good arguement for either, and while I still prefer Cahill, I'm sure they'll be very close on the Top 100. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2008-07-22 13:00:00 | I like Brett Anderson better than Trevor Cahill and my friends look at me like I have 6 heads...Why???? (Josh from Oak/CA) | I like Trevor Cahill better than Brett Anderson, but you're friends are crazy to look at you like that. I bet if I found 20 scouts who have evaluated the pair, neither would get more than 12 votes. They're very close and you could make an argument either way. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2008-07-07 13:00:00 | Hey Kevin, thanks for the chat, always a nice way to spend an afternoon at work...oops was that out loud? Anyway, Neftali Feliz or Trevor Cahill? From what I've read Cahill is closer to the majors, but Feliz may have the higher upside?
p.s.Dood! anxiously awaiting Disgaea 3...tick tick tick DooD! (Goldeye99 from Priny Land) | I'll take Feliz by a small margin, but your further analysis is dead on. I'm tell my readers this right now -- There will be no Future Shock on August 28th, as Disgaea 3 arrives on the 27th and I will be taking to day off to lose myself in wacky Japanese SRPG greatness. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2008-05-09 14:00:00 | Jeremy Hellickson or Trevor Cahill? Which pitcher would you pick? (Mike from Utica) | While Hellickson's numbers are surreal, I'll take Cahill, understanding that I'm also a bit biased. (Christina Kahrl) |
| 2008-05-05 12:30:00 | How would you rank the Stockton trio of Anderson, Cahill, and De Los Santos - and has your ranking of those 3 changed since the season began? (Ryan from NY) | I'll say this: Trevor Cahill has done everything to earn consideration as one of the minor leagues better pitching prospects. He might very well be a top ten overall guy next year. Some credit for his draft goes to Billy Beane, if I recall correctly. Didn't Beane personally cross-check Cahill three times, or am I thinking of another guy. Anyway, he's at the top, and I think the next two are tied for the moment. De Los Santos gets more than a month before falling to the bottom, but I believe a little more in what Anderson is selling than I did six weeks ago. (Bryan Smith) |
| 2008-03-26 12:00:00 | I apologize that this question is not college-based, but I respect your opinion and would like your thoughts on Oakland's Trevor Cahill. I think h performed extremely well and is only 19 years old. Do you see a bright future for him in the Oakland rotation? I just haven't seen him on too many prospect lists. Take care. (Norren from Utah) | Oh Norren, and the rest of you out there, let's not limit ourselves to college questions. Heck, someone ask me just how excited I am for The Office to come back on air, please. And as for Cahill, he's fair game, for sure. I'm surprised you haven't read much about Cahill, because I know Kevin Goldstein is a big fan after watching him a lot last season in his back yard. I think Cahill has some fantastic stuff and a decent amount of polish, and yes, I think he has a bright future. (Bryan Smith) |
