BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2010-12-20 13:00:00	What are your thoughts on the Tigers rotation? Do you think Scherzer can repeat his 2nd half success and will Porcello take a step forward? (MickeyRivers from NYC)	Scherzer is a buddy of mine and he is one of the hardest working pitchers in the league. His second half is for real, and the Tigers have two aces in he and Verlander. Porcello I have NEVER been high on, and I often get yelled at in chats for my belief that he will never develop into a front of the rotation hurler. I hope he does, but I just don't see it happening. I feel like Joe Blanton would look good in the Tigers rotation to add stability, but when you have pitchers like Verlander and Scherzer at the top of the rotation, you're doing well already. (Eric Seidman)
2010-12-20 13:00:00	Two Questions What is the most the Phillies can get for Joe Blanton and how much of his salary can they eat? Do you think Dominic Brown will start the year in the major leagues or will the Phillies sign a veteran bat like Jermaine Dye. (John from Philadelphia)	Dom Brown I say starts in the majors, but isn't an everyday player until the end of May. Going with a platoon of Brown/Francisco should be fine. I don't see what Jermaine Dye could provide that Ben Francisco can't, and the latter makes like $500,000. As for Blanton, the Phillies need to wait. There is no rush to trade him. Once Pavano signs, Blanton is the most attractive trade target, a 180-200 IP pitcher with a talent level in that 4.10-4.30 ERA range. If they traded him right now I would say they eat $9 of the $17 million and get prospects we never hear from again in return. Come February I would venture to guess they eat $6 million and get a couple prospects, one of whom will have some type of impact. (Eric Seidman)
2010-12-14 13:00:00	What do you think Joe Blanton could fetch the Phils back in a trade, assuming they want the salary relief (a fair bet)? Other than Grienke, what starter is being offered for trade that's better? (lionstar1964 from Philly burbs)	Beyond Greinke, I figure you might have got a Cub on the block, although Dempster's sort of in the same territory as Blanton, and nobody's really excited and saying, "Boy, do we really need some Big Z-style excitement!" There has been some chatter that the White Sox might deal Floyd or Buehrle. Basically, everyone's shopping mid-rotation innings-munchers, to see what that gets them. If moving Blanton's salary is a pressing issue, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Phillies get less than full value. (Christina Kahrl)
2010-11-02 13:00:00	Do you foresee the Phils making a move with the eminent Werth departure, or do you think they are content with a platoon of Franciso/Brown? (John Locke from The Island)	Content. It'll be an interesting offseason because most fans think more about runs added on offense than runs suppressed with pitching. Losing Werth will hurt, without question, but you also have to remember that they will have a full season of Oswalt instead of just 10-11 starts, and most likely a healthy Joe Blanton going into spring training, which is certainly better than relying on both Jamie Moyer and Kyle Kendrick entering the year. Brown should be solid with regular playing time, and Francisco handles lefties very well. Their platoon won't replace Werth, but the upgrade of having a full year of Oswalt and a healthy Blanton really cuts into that deficit. Plus, it is hard to imagine the offense will be as unhealthy next year as they were this year, so the Phils are bound to get more runs back on that front as well. It is very easy to come up with reasons why they WON'T be as good next year, but I still hold they will win the division again. (Eric Seidman)
2010-07-09 13:00:00	Where do you see Latos being drafted next year in a 12-team league? (Lane from Austin)	If he keeps it up, I think he'll be picked along with the second-tier of starters. Unlike this season, where he had an average draft position in the Joe Blanton range. I think a lot of people were surprised he was this good, but I was debating buying a Latos jersey heading into the season, so I own him on all of my teams except AL-only. (Marc Normandin)
2010-06-18 14:00:00	How do you see Justin Masterson long-term? Solid starter, mediocre starter, maybe a good multiple inning reliever, or something else? (Dennis from LA)	Mediocre starter, but that is very valuable if he can do that over 175-200 innings per year. I guess I see him as being closer to what Joe Blanton did last season than anything above that. (Eric Seidman)
2010-04-21 14:00:00	What's a Kyle Kendrick and should I be concerned? (Neil from NJ)	Kendrick is a starting pitcher on the Phillies, until Joe Blanton returns, who experienced success as a rookie in 2007 but who also serves as the posterchild for why stats like SIERA are much more effective at indicating what is likely to occur in the future than ERA. Since 2007, he was prank-traded to Japan, struggled in the minors, became Roy Halladay's mentee (even growing a beard in spring training), and supposedly added a slider, changeup and cutter to his repertoire of a sinker and, well, nothing else. In his first two starts this year he looked about as effective as if Will Carroll was sent to the mound to throw eephus pitches, but he tossed an absolute gem against the Braves last night. Realistically, unless Happ or Moyer gets hurt, or Blanton suffers a setback, Kendrick is not going to stay in the rotation even if he builds on last night's outing, but even for a sinkerballer (a group that can get away without whiffing many hitters) he doesn't strike many out so the odds aren't in his favor. (Eric Seidman)
2010-01-21 13:00:00	Biggest surprise move of the offseason? (Tommy from Queens)	I would have to say the Phillies deciding they would rather pay Joe Blanton than Cliff Lee in 2010 was the biggest surprise of the offseason. I don't care if they needed to restock their farm system after acquiring Halladay, or that they didn't want the payroll to reach a certain point. Dealing Lee strikes me as irresponsible to a team that needed to improve to have a better chance against the AL's giants. Keeping him also would have put them closer to guaranteeing--as much as you can guarantee something like winning a game of chance--a third straight World Series appearance. They can still get there, but having Lee makes them closer to the favorites in any matchup. (Marc Normandin)
2009-11-02 15:00:00	What has been the biggest difference between how you saw the WS playing out (Phils in 7) and how it's actually played out? (jamin67038 from Wichita, KS)	A.J. Burnett pitched fantastamatically, and Cliff Lee turned into Joe Blanton last night. I've actually gotten every single game wrong, based on my pre-Series pick. Don't try this at home! (Joe Sheehan)
2009-11-02 15:00:00	Best Tim McCarver pre-game "Key" to the game ever: Joe Blanton is "gutty." You can't make this stuff up. (bowie from Cal)	I'm "gutty," too, but I suspect it's a different definition of the word. (Joe Sheehan)
2009-06-05 15:30:00	Settle a debate for us. I am Mil fan and some friends think we should start to trade prospects to take a run in the next year or two. I lean towards standing pat and to develop and draft talent and play to always be good. Then you hope a few breaks go your way to win a world series, without handcuffing yourself in the future since you are a small market team. Which model do you prefer for small market teams? Is it time for Milwaukee to go for it? (sjstraub from nj)	It's really tough, and most people underestimate just how tough it is, to win now while simultaneously setting yourself up for the future. It seems like it SHOULD be fairly easy, but it isn't. Otherwise, more teams would be in better positions. The Brewers have a pretty good core of hitters right now but pitching is a big problem. Outside of Gallardo, you have four essentially back of the rotation guys. If they can really get a top-tier MLB player or two in return, trading some prospects would be a sound idea, ESPECIALLY given the Cubs struggles so far. You don't want to trade top prospects for Joe Blanton, like the Phillies did, but if you can get a 1A or a 2 pitcher, you kind of have to at this point. (Eric Seidman)
2008-07-24 13:00:00	So Christina, I couldn't tell from your transaction analysis, do you like Joe Blanton? Kind of ambiguous. (Goose from Chicago)	I'll take that as semi-facetious, since I expect him to be sub-Lohse-ian in terms of value to the club down the stretch on the basis of his new home and his home/road splits with Oakland. I went into that a bit, as well as the problem that he may not simplify their picking their five starters; he gives them a starter who will take the ball every five days, but the results aren't going to be pretty, and might wind up being Eaton-level bad. (Christina Kahrl)
2008-07-22 13:00:00	James Simmons, anything more than a future innings eater? A new Joe Blanton? (Doug from SD)	Yes, but that shouldn't be seen as a bad thing. Last I looked, those guys were worth $10-12 million on the open market. (Kevin Goldstein)
2008-07-09 13:00:00	Would you talk about the importance of tempo? Could you describe an instance where a pitcher would want to get to release point more quickly? Less quickly? Thanks! (patrickc from NYC)	Tempo is Carlos Gomez's big thing and just basically means - in my interpretation - getting things moving as fast as you can while maintaining control. All things equal, faster is better. I don't like any pauses or balance points in the delivery since they interrupt the generation of force and the transfer through the kinetic chain. Joe Blanton to me is a bit slow, but it's not something I pay a lot of attention to. (Will Carroll)
2008-06-27 14:00:00	The run differential looks nice and all, especially compared the LAAOA's. But there seems to be an odd amount of blowout wins skewing the Pythag a bit, not to mention they have all those pitchers looking forward to increased workloads. In other words CK, do you see Beane buying or selling? (ashitaka from long beach, ca)	I think there's more work to be done on the outsized impact that blowout wins can have on a team's overall outlook. Beating the bejeezuz out of other team's 11th or 12th pitchers isn't really a skill that defines playoff teams. I think Beane's going to be flexible, willing to do both at once (perhaps similar to where the D'backs were in 2006, when they decided to keep their bid for contention alive by calling up the kids while dealing Shawn Green), depending on what people are looking for, and what they're looking to offer. If he gets a great offer on Joe Blanton, he'll listen. (Christina Kahrl)
2008-06-17 15:00:00	Following up on my own question... With the A's so high on the Hit List do you expect them to be buying for this year or selling for next year, and if so who goes where? Also, might they be able to do both..with chad gaudin ready to get back his spot in the rotation, they could improve their offense, and team overall, by trading (harden?) for a major league ready bat to a team starved for pitching (yankees?) (Joe Lefko from Boonton, NJ)	Over the winter and at the outset of the year everybody thought Beane was waving the white flag on 2008 even as he restocked his team. Right now I don't think it's inconceivable that the A's could move Rich Harden or Joe Blanton and still expect to hang around the AL West and Wild Card races. They do have some pitching depth, and I'd expect that they'd get a decent return on either of those guys. (Jay Jaffe)
2008-05-09 14:00:00	Christina, Can the A's pitching keep this up? Who do you like better long-term Eveland or Smith? Would you have sent Gaudin or Duchsherer to the pen. Thanks, keep up the great work! (Kiley from Oakland)	Smith's the safer pick, in that Eveland's weight is always going to be something people complain about until, like Rick Reuschel or Jumbo Wells, he pitches effectively for so long that people finally stop talking about it. I think it would have been unfair to Duchscherer, given that he's really worked at getting back to starting. It's a lovely problem to have, to be sure, but one that puts the A's in the interesting situation, whether or not to still mull offers for Joe Blanton while making a bid on the AL West. That said, let's face it, somebody has to shadow Harden, and Gaudin's not a bad choice. (Christina Kahrl)
2008-03-06 13:00:00	I've seen some projections that suggest it's the A's who are in the best position to take advantage of a stumble from Anahiem than the Mariners are. First, how credible is that? And second, if that is credible, how much worse does that make Bavasi's win-now plan? (Evan from Vancouver, BC)	I don't see this at all. The A's are in full-on rebuilding mode, and behind Joe Blanton they need a lot to hope that Rich Harden, Justin Duchscherer, and Chad Gaudin are healthy. Add to that the need for sick-noters like Eric Chavez and Bobby Crosby to bounce back and I think we're at the point where it's far more likely Blanton gets shipped out at the deadline than the A's contend. I'm not about to defend Bavasi, but I don't see the M's overtaken by Oakland this year. (Jay Jaffe)
2008-01-14 13:00:00	Here we go again, you hating Homer Bailey again. There is no way Itrade Bailey for Joe Blanton and Homer Bailey has a world of an ability. (Rick from Ohio)	Yes, we do. Bailey has a world of TALENT, not a world of ability. He unquestionably has talent, but he also unquestionably has not funneled that talent into results. For a Reds team that has a weak bullpen, Dusty as manager, and thinks (rightly) that they can contend in their division, Blanton is the better fit. (Will Carroll)
2008-01-28 13:00:00	Joe Blanton will be pitching for ________ on August 1, 2008 (Geoff from Chicago)	I'm still going to guess that Johan goes to the Red Sox and then Blanton ends up going to the Mets. Sometimes, the simplest solution is the easiest one. (Bryan Smith)
