BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2011-06-09 13:00:00	Some interesting juggling of Howie Kendrick and Maicer Izturis this year by Scioscia. Kendrick, so far, is having his best offensive season. But Izturis, who's been pretty decent himself with the bat this year (119 OPS+), has almost as many starts at second as Kendrick. Is Kendrick that worse a defender than Izturis, or is Scoscia simply playing the lesser defender in LF and 1B to cover up other weaknesses in the Angels lineup? (Paul from DC)	It's a bit of both. Kendrick isn't Eddie Collins around the bag and Izturis has been an above-average contributor for a middle infielder, so Scioscia has tried to squeeze both into the lineup. Can't tell you how burned I am by losing all those edits. I may set fire to my own head. (Steven Goldman)
2011-05-05 13:00:00	Hi Steven, With all the buzz about the Mets trading/not trading Reyes, what are the chances that they trade him mid-season and then make a bonafide attempt to sign him in winter? Couldn't that be the best plan to contend from 2012 on? Could you see the Angels parting with Trout for Reyes? (mattstupp from NYC)	That's the million-dollar question, mattstupp. Given the team's financial problems, that kind of circular deal seems unlikely, plus it would possibly cost them a draft choice if they're not protected. With the Angels having Maicer Izturis and Erick Aybar, I don't see them prioritizing Reyes, nor trading the best or second-best prospect in baseball for a free agent to be. (Steven Goldman)
2009-12-09 13:00:00	What do you think of the idea of the Angels signing Blalock as a platoon/backup for Wood? He'd come cheap, both have platoon splits, and it gives you two chances to get lucky instead of one, right? (eneff1 from Berkeley, CA)	Why not just use Maicer Izturis that way? (Joe Sheehan)
2009-10-23 16:00:00	How would you compare these three middle infielders, Maicer Izturis, Erick Aybar and Yunel Escobar? They all had similar years offensively, but I don't know much about their defense or the chance of stardom. (Wendy from Madrid)	Yunel has the potential to hit 27-32 home runs in a season whereas the other two seem more likely to fall in that .355/.435 range, which is nothing to scoff at, but Yunel certainly has a better chance at becoming an all-star and big bopper than the other two. Defensively, Aybar does a lot right with the glove but makes some mental mistakes that one would hope will gradually cease to occur. I'd order them Escobar, Aybar, Izturis. (Eric Seidman)
2009-10-20 14:00:00	Scioscia has now pinch-hit for Mike Napoli twice, once with Sarge Jr. and last night with Maicer Izturis. Sure, Izturis got a sac-fly and eventually Mathis had the walk-off hit, but that still doesn't justify taking the bat out of Napoli's hands in either situation, especially for those two hitters. Why does Scioscia keep doing this? (ashitaka from long beach, ca)	The Izturis move actually was sensible. With one out and a runner on third, contact matters a lot, and with Chamberlain pitching and Izturis available, there was a good matchup to be had. The repeated use of Matthews for Napoli is just wrong and should be stopped immediately. I can probably come up with degenerate cases where it makes sense, but most of those involve pitchers not in this series. (Joe Sheehan)
2009-10-20 14:00:00	When will Mike Scioscia commit to Howie Kendrick? He is the Dusty Baker of the AL, in love with middling infielders. Good thing Neifi Perez is gone. (Tom from Chicago)	Problem is that while Kendrick was failing to grab hold of the job, Maicer Izturis became quite a little player, especially from the left side of the plate. I'm not sure I can go after Scioscia for playing Izturis. (Joe Sheehan)
