BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2012-02-09 13:00:00	Hi Colin - First, just let me say that I have really enjoyed the statistical analysis you've brought to BP since you started writing for the website. Second, I've noticed that other sabermetrically-inclined writers on the web - people like Rob Neyer, Joe Sheehan and Joe Posnanski - tend, when using a thumbnail stat to evaluate a player, to almost always use the version of WAR developed by either Fangraphs or Baseball-Reference. Does it bother you that, although BP's WARP can be found on a player's Pecota card w/o being a subscriber, it does not seem to be considered the standard or benchmark measurement? And do you have any theories as to why that is? Personally, I usually use BP's version of WARP and started thinking about this when Sheehan wrote in a recent newsletter that Edwin Jackson was a 3-4 WAR/season pitcher and I thought to myself, "No he's not..." (belewfripp from Knoxville, TN)	My best guess is that, for several years, we basically kept WARP in the basement, on a separate set of player cards and not well integrated into the sortable reports. If we make it hard to use our information, people won't use it. I think we've done quite a bit to correct this in the past year or so, but we know there's a lot more we can be doing to make our cards and sortables more useful. So expect to see more improvements there. (Colin Wyers)
2012-01-18 13:00:00	How do the newly configured Reds stack up in the NL Central for '12? Seems like there is still some upside in guys like Bruce and Bailey to consider along with the obvious upgrades w/Latos, Marshall and Madson? (Hip2Hops from Seattle)	Yeah, with Pujols (and probably Prince) out of the division and Ryan Braun maybe missing a third of the season, I might give them a slight edge at this point. Of course, I picked them to repeat as division champs last season, so what do I know? What with the prospects they gave up in the Latos deal, winning now seems like the plan, so it might be wise for them to leave less to chance and make one more move, if they have the money. Given the team's lack of starting pitching depth, Dan Szymborski made a good case for making Edwin Jackson that move in an article over at ESPN Insider today.--Ben (Best of BP with Ben and Dave)
2012-01-18 13:00:00	Where do you think Roy Oswalt ends up? (cubfan131 from Iowa)	If you want to know where someone's going, you're better off asking Ken Rosenthal, Buster Olney, or another writer who's wired in and breaks news. I'm just the guy who sometimes writes about moves after they happen. The most recent Oswalt rumors I've heard have connected him to the Red Sox and Cardinals, but maybe the Reds would make some sense. Despite the injury risk, I'd rather take a one-year, $8 million flyer than give Edwin Jackson five years, considering what R.J. Anderson discovered recently about pitchers who bounced around as much as Jackson has early in their careers.--Ben (Best of BP with Ben and Dave)
2011-09-14 13:00:00	Thanks for the long response; now a much shorter follow-up. Who do the Cardinals keep for 2012 from the swag they got for Raz? More specifically, do they try to re-up Edwin Jackson? (BillJ from New Mexico)	Dotel has been good for them, so I could see them exercising his option for $3.5 million, and Rzepczynski/Scrabble is under team control. You'd hope the .167/.184/.250 line Corey Patterson has put up since the trade would convince the Cards not to keep him. As for Edwin Jackson, it would be nice if he could finally find a home with a nice family that doesn't care that his performance doesn't always match his potential. He's 27 and he's pitched decently in St. Louis, so I can imagine that happening. If Kyle Lohse can get a four-year deal... (Ben Lindbergh)
2011-07-07 13:00:00	Hey Steven. I'm a big Yankees, like I know you are, and I was just thinking about some of the trade rumors swirling around the Yankees, especially Zambrano. Why in the world would we take Zambrano and his 37.25 million dollars over the next two years, when we already have a rotation that's too crowded to begin with! Ivan Nova was just sent down for that very reason. If we really want starting pitching, we can wait for this offseason, when CJ Wilson and Chris Carpenter, or even lower end options like Joel Pineiro and Edwin Jackson will be available, for a lot less might I add. I just don't think now's the time for Big Z in the Big Apple. Your Thoughts? (Big Bob from Indianapolis)	I know I'm a crazy dreamer, but I'd rather see some of the internal options, starting with the two guys at Double-A, Betances and Banuelos, get a shot before any of the mediocre options you just named. (Steven Goldman)
2011-04-25 13:00:00	Will Koji Uehara ever become a reliable source of saves now that he is the favorite? ALso, what are your thoughts on Edwin Jackson? (Charles Darwin from San Fran)	As Mike Petriello has said, as long as Uehera is healthy, he should be great in the role. I'm a big fan of Koji--I drafted him in a few leagues with the expectation the job would eventually be his. As for Jackson, I have an article in the works looking at him and how he is changed (if at all) since coming to Chicago. (Marc Normandin)
2011-04-25 13:00:00	As you work on your Edwin Jackson article, consider the possibility he is the new Javy Vazquez. Both are maddening pitchers with excellent stuff who seem to dominate until one bad inning lays waste to everything. (GrinnellSteve from Grinnell)	Who else fits this bill that you folks can think of? (Marc Normandin)
2011-03-08 14:00:00	12 team 5x5, 1st year as AL only. Starting pitching looks very scarce. should that effect the 'hitters first' draft strategy? (duncan from toronto)	Unmixed leagues do require more pitching depth than in mixed, and it's true that top-end SP's are in short supply in the AL. However, don't forget about the emergence of guys like Matusz, Morrow, Carrasco and Drabek, the strong 2nd half by Edwin Jackson, the growth of the young group in Oakland, and bargain-hunting on guys like Scott Baker. There are always value opportunities in any format. (Cory Schwartz)
2011-01-18 13:00:00	How crazy am I? Edwin Jackson wins 17 games with a 3.50 ERA and strikes out 185 batters in 210 innings this year? (Eric from ILL)	He didn't have the ERA last year, but it was his best season. Those numbers actually look pretty similar to what he did in 2010, though the ERA is lower than I like. If he can maintain the G/F ratio, pitching in The Cell won't be such a big deal though, which could help keep his ERA down. (Marc Normandin)
2010-08-02 13:30:00	After seeing Dan Hudson pitch yesterday at Citi Field, I'm starting to wonder whether Ken Williams panicked or made a huge mistake in trading him for an average pitcher like Edwin Jackson. Your thoughts? (SprungOnSports from Long Island)	The Sox definitely gave up better value than was involved in the Haren or Oswalt trades, although the relative salaries involved played some small part. The question is whether Williams was making what I'd call a fair offer in the abstract, when a very different market, the one that gave us such lop-sided acquisitions as the Haren or Oswalt deals, exists. On the other hand, I look at what the Rich Harden deal did for Oakland--and the exaggerated faith a few too many of my fellow statheads placed in Gallagher or Patterson or Murton--and wonder if we haven't been in this situation for several years now. The impact of money, being able to afford spending it, seems a lot more important than WARP- or MORP-driven exercises on actions. (Christina Kahrl)
2010-07-26 14:00:00	Why on Earth would the Nats trade Adam Dunn for Edwin Jackson? If they really can't re-sign him, wouldn't compensation picks beat that deal anyway? (Charlie from Bethesda, MD)	Banking on compensation picks can be a little dicey, since you might not get what you expect depending on who signs where (see: CC Sabathia and the Milwaukee Brewers). I'm not particularly bullish on Jackson, but he does have stuff and can pitch in the majors now, two important things for a Nationals team trying to build some excitement and a brand. I don't think it's that bad a move, depending on what other teams are offering. For the White Sox part of this thing, it'll be a shame if they have to give up someone like Daniel Hudson to rent Dunn, when they could just as easily have signed an ever-willing Jim Thome last spring. (Ken Funck)
2010-06-02 13:00:00	Edwin Jackson: worth a bench spot on my fantasy team? He's been improving recently, but is it worth starting him and gambling with my total ERA ballooning up? Will he get back to what he was last season? (Aaron from Georgia)	Depends on how deep your fantasy league is. He plays in a home-run friendly park with a bad bullpen, which is not a good way to strand baserunners. I have never owned him in any of my leagues, for what that is worth. (Tommy Bennett)
2010-05-11 16:30:00	So, I have Chone Figgins, Hunter Pence, Aaron Hill, and Edwin Jackson on my fantasy team. My question: shouldn't I expect big bounce backs from everyone here or did I just select duds? (Nasi Goreng from SE Asia)	Chone Figgins-- His K-rate has shot up this year. The BABIP drop is small enough and it looks likely to fix itself, but the K-rate is just so high that he's not going to be effective when he's striking out like a power hitter. Even BABIP Superstars need to be make contact to keep their job-- you don't commit $45MM to Fred Lewis. Maybe a new hitting coach helps? Aaron Hill-- His BABIP is .210 because he's not hitting line dirves-- it seems related to him swinging at too many pitches out of the strike zone. Before he hit 32 HR, pitchers would challenge him more. Now he needs to be more patient. Hunter Pence-- he isn't swinging any more often than he used to, but he can't seem to tell a ball from a strike anymore. Worse, he's actually making contact with those bad pitches and isn't hitting them hard. Edwin Jackson is an average pitcher. He's not as good his 2009 or as bad as his early 2010. (Matt Swartz)
2010-02-02 13:00:00	Hi Will, last year you predicted a break-out year for Edwin Jackson and my fantasy team thanks you for that. Is there anyone you want to tell us about this year? (Swingingbunts from NY)	I did? I rule. (Dumb luck.) I like Daisuke Matsuzaka, but that won't surprise anyone. I like Jake Westbrook's chances. If I have to go total sleeper, I'll say Manny Parra. (Will Carroll)
2009-12-09 13:00:00	Surprised there isn't more discussion on the three way deal yesterday! Did the D'backs get a big bag of not much for Scherzer? To me, he's younger, better, cheaper, and less worn down than Edwin Jackson. Fewer innings, more Ks, and still two years from arbitration. Is Ian Kennedy that valuable? What am I missing? (RZFanClub from DC)	Column on the trade is up, and I've mostly been taking other Qs. The Yankees made a good deal, not giving up much for a player who helps them. The Tigers made a pretty good trade, getting Scherzer, and it's not clear that they could have won with Granderson in the next season or two. The only rationale for the D'backs end of it is that they are convinced Scherzer won't stay healthy. Burning Scherzer to get an Ian Kennedy, which is effectively what the deal is, makes no sense. (Joe Sheehan)
2009-10-13 14:00:00	Could you rate Dave Dombrowski's job performance since the day after the '08 season ended? Thanks. (lemppi from Ankeny, IA)	The cutoff favors him, since it avoids getting into so many multi-year mistakes as far as big conracts signed before then. Edwin Jackson proved to be a bit of a steal, kicking sand in the face of a stathead community that was falling all over itself to anoint Matt Joyce as the Anointed One. I also tend to be charitable when a GM is willing to reinforce a bid for the brass ring; yes, Washburn and Huff didn't deliver, but Washburn was a good choice. I would have rather seen the Tigers go after and get a quality offensive addition, but that's easier to say than to conjure up, especially when the farm system isn't replete with trade-worthy bits. (Christina Kahrl)
2009-09-29 13:00:00	All told, I'd imagine the two most disappointing teams this year were the Mets and then secondly the Cubs. For the AL, is it resoundingly the Rays? (Warner from Kansas)	The Rays have been disappointing, but not devastatingly so. In the beginning, they played well but lost a lot of games they should have won. They collapsed down the stretch which was a bit surprising, and seemed to coincide with the loss of Carlos Pena (Ben Zobrist got his first start at 1B the other day -- why didn't they do that all along instead of Chris Richard?). Still, a lot of people saw this coming based on regression in the bullpen, and of course dealing Edwin Jackson turned out to be a bigger deal than they (and I to be honest) thought it would be, but that was a financial move. The Indians have to be on that list too, though in retrospect it's hard to see why so many were high on them at the outset. (Steven Goldman)
2009-07-13 14:00:00	Aren't the Rays kicking themselves for trading Edwin Jackson and keeping Sonnanstein? And is this a true breakout season for Jackson in Detroit? (Jason from Dearborn, MI)	Jackson had more trade value, to be sure, and at the time of the trade the Rays had some reason to value the likely #4 guy over the upside with more risk. Sometimes you pull the wrong lever. I think Jackson's improvement is real, if not necessarily to this extent. He's a legit #2 starter in the AL. (Joe Sheehan)
2009-05-21 14:00:00	Edwin Jackson just threw his 131st pitch of the day .... at 97 MPH. (dianagramr from NYC)	Can't say I'm a real fan of how that went...it's not the raw number, but the combination of letting him go that deep with runners on base when he was pitching into trouble. (Joe Sheehan)
2009-04-20 13:00:00	Joe, what's your take on Edwin Jackson's start to the season? I realize it's only three starts, but it looks like he's cut down on his walk rate. Do you think he can maintain this control as the season goes on? (Maurice from Brooklyn)	I do. He was just so young when the DOdgers called him up, and then he got traded to the AL East...the talent is there, and the Rays did a very good job with him last year. I don't know that the Tigers are the best place to continue developing, but I think the steps forward we've seen are real, and he'll be a midrotation guy for a while. There's not a star upside, but if you can picture...maybe Gil Meche? Bronson Arroyo? That kind of guy. (Joe Sheehan)
2009-04-08 15:00:00	Party like it is 2006/2007... which will finally turn the prospect corner this year? Homer Bailey, Edwin Jackson, or neither? (Greg from Toledo, Ohio)	I'd bet both before I bet neither, but I already put some big chips on Jackson as part of the Tigers Top 11 prospect, so go with that. (Kevin Goldstein)
2009-02-19 13:00:00	What sort of player might we reasonably expect in return for Hammel/Niemann? They'd be towards the top of an awful lot of prospect lists (Stephanie from DC)	You know, good question. The return on Edwin Jackson was more than I'd expected, but the bigger question is what do the Rays need? Once you figure that out, you have to find a team that needs a starter, can handle the option situation, and has a match on the return. I'm stumped ... anyone? (Will Carroll)
2009-02-11 14:00:00	It was almost a given thàt David Price's drafting basically showed Edwin Jackson the door, do you think Wade Davis' impending bus ride to St. Pete makes the 2009 season an audition for teams looking to trade for Andrew Sonnanstine? (jlarsen from chicago, il)	Absolutely. (John Perrotto)
2009-02-06 13:00:00	The Rays massive improvement from '07 to '08 screams 'regression to the mean' for '08. Alternatively, the players ages (and swapping the Floyd for Burrel) screams 'more development ahead'. Which competing force wins out? (Nater1177 from Philly)	I think the latter, as long as they have so many pitching alternatives in front of them. Don't forget that David Price in the rotation should also be an upgrade over Edwin Jackson, Carlos Crawford should have a better year in him, and right field and DH weren't solid areas of production and they've taken steps to upgrade those. The D should also continue to be solid. They did overachieve, and maybe they won't be +5 on their pythagorean again, but they might not need to be. (Steven Goldman)
2009-01-26 14:00:00	Could you give your thoughts on Jeff Larish and his prospects to play another position? Also who did better in the Matt Joyce/Edwin Jackson swap? Thank you! (lemppi from Ankeny, IA)	I can't picture Larish playing anywhere but first. He played third in college, but I can't see it translating in the pros. The Joyce/Jackson swap is hard to evaluate, but Jackson is one of those players I'd be scared &$!-less to trade, with the fear that he's eventually going to put it all together and dominate. (Kevin Goldstein)*
2008-12-11 14:00:00	Should the Tigers try Edwin Jackson out in the bullpen, perhaps in the closers role? (Mike from Motown)	Dave Dombrowski said Jackson will be used as a starter. However, I could also see him closing if the Tigers don't land a ninth-inning pitcher via free agency. It appears their sights are now set on Trevor Hoffman. (John Perrotto)
2008-12-11 14:00:00	Will the Rays bank the savings from shipping out Edwin Jackson and possibly non-tendering Gabe Gross to bring in a tasty DH like a Milton Bradley (whom I think Joe Maddon would be great for)? (Aaron from YYZ)	Well, they have interest in Bradley and Abreu, so they've got a really good shot of getting a proven hitter to DH and bat in the middle of the lineup. All of a sudden, The Trop looks like a good place to play. (John Perrotto)
2008-11-03 13:30:00	If you were the Rays GM (Freedman?), how would you approach this offseason? Would you sit on the farm system and let things hatch, or would you be looking to make a few to deals to put the club over the top? (Rob from Brighton)	I'd be thinking about fixing my right-field problem, but beyond that, I'd be exploring making room for David Price in the rotation by re-adding Edwin Jackson to the bullpen mix to see if he isn't your eventual closer. Which is sort of like letting things hatch, but after finding a right fielder, there's not a whole lot else that needs going out and doing by going outside the organization. (Christina Kahrl)
2008-10-15 13:00:00	While I admire the Rays' long term plan and also recognize that this idea may be impossible financially, similar to how the Braves signed Greg Maddux prior to the 1993 season, I am intrigued by the idea of the Rays signing CC Sabbathia this offseason. What do you think? (Brent from Raleigh)	It's an interesting thought, and who's to say it couldn't happen, but I think they are probably pretty set in the rotation and focused on continuing to build from within rather than making that huge signing. If you figure that Price slots into the rotation next year, that's Shields, Kazmir, Garza, Price, and Sonnanstine, with Jeff Niemann and Edwin Jackson as insurance. Of course, injuries could upset that, and you can never have too much starting pitching, but I think the Rays will probably focus on offense. Remember, they were second in the AL in run prevention this year, but only ninth in runs scored. I would think they might look at getting another outfield bat for right field/DH, and as more insurance in case Baldelli is unable to play a full season again. (Caleb Peiffer)
2008-10-07 13:00:00	Open-ended question time: Why will the Sox beat the Rays? (Frank Senbeenz from Tampa)	Only if injuries and the ineffectiveness of certain key regular season contributors doesn't come back to haunt them. The Sox, even with their problems, are capable of beating anyone left, or are at least capable of putting a scare in the Rays. The Rays, on the other hand, are as healthy and productive as they have been all year, with Crawford and Longoria back and Edwin Jackson out of the picture. The Sox may be outmatched if Beckett can't get it together. (Marc Normandin)
2008-06-23 12:00:00	What do you think the Rays should do with Edwin Jackson? There's nothing wrong with his arm, but he's hasn't taken the next step as a pitcher. Jackson/Niemann for Nady? (Tommy from OPS, FL)	I think Jackson has taken a step forward this season. He hasn't become a superstar but he's pitching better. Jackson and Niemann might be enough to get Nady. That would be interesting. (John Perrotto)
2008-05-23 13:00:00	Who's the better pitcher Edwin Jackson or Andy Sonnanstine? (Tommy from OPS, FL)	Tough call, but I think Jackson has the higher upside. (Caleb Peiffer)
2008-05-20 13:00:00	Now that the Rays train has slowed down a bit and there's some "regressioning to the mean," do you think that the Rays have some staying power in their climb towards .500-dom and beyond? (jlarsen from DRays Bay)	At 45 games into the year, it's still early. To some extent I think we have to take the Rays seriously, though the players who should be driving the offense really haven't produced much thus far (Pena, Crawford and Longoria are all below .265 EqAs). The pitching is showing some real improvement; high walk rate and all, Edwin Jackson is putting it together and has been very tough to hit, James Shields has been nasty, and both Scott Kazmir and Matt Garza are coming around. They can thank a much improved defense; the team is 2nd int he league in Defensive Efficiency at .716. I'm a bit skeptical it can stay that high, but it's nowhere near the nightmare that it was last year. So I expect them to stick around at .500 or above. (Jay Jaffe)
2008-04-17 13:00:00	What are your thoughts on Edwin Jackson now that we've seen the good and the bad this season? (Tommy from OPS,FL)	I think the same thing I thought about him at the start of the season, which is that he's a #4/#5 starter. His numbers are unchanged from last year in the major peripheral categories, but his BABIP is a ton lower (in part because Tampa has radically improved his defense). (Nate Silver)
2008-04-15 13:00:00	What's changed with Edwin Jackson? He's giving up flyballs, but somehow 75% of them have been of the pop-up/infield fly variety. (jlarsen from "The Burbs" minus Tom Hanks)	There's enough weird quirks in his stat line that I feel safe calling this sample size. I keep looking for something he's doing differently, some new pitch, something Hickey saw. (Will Carroll)
