BP Chats

DateQuestionAnswer
2012-02-02 15:00:00Over/Under: Johan Santana 10 wins?
(Tony Danza from Italy)
When it comes to wins I always play the under. Will he be healthy? Will he be able to go deep enough into enough games to be in position for wins? Will their offense provide meaningful run support? Will the reconstructed bullpen nail down his leads? Mat Latos had a very strong season last year but only won nine games; Matt Garza won 10 exactly. I'll take the under on Johan. (Cory Schwartz)
2011-03-09 13:00:00Jeremy, welcome aboard, and thanks a ton for stepping up and doing your first BP chat on such short notice. Here in Mesa, it's Matt Garza vs. Bruce Chen, an interesting pair of decisions as far as acquisition vs. retention. What are you thoughts on this odd couple?
(Christina Kahrl from HoHoKam Stadium)
I watched Bruce Chen at a Yankee game last year, and I did not understand why he was pitching in the Major Leagues. (Jeremy Greenhouse)
2011-01-12 13:00:00What did you think of the Matt Garza deal? People seem fairly torn about which side got the better deal, which probably means it was fair right?
(thenamestsam from Brooklyn)
I thought that the package given up by the Cubs was VASTLY overrated by those who wanted to make a facile point about the Cubs overpaying compared to the Zack Greinke deal. Lee and Archer are good prospects, but not coming stars by any means. As for the rest, Guyer had a huge 102 games as a 24-year-old Double-A repeater, but let's seen an encore before we get excited; Fuld is a nice fourth guy who is close to 30, and Chirinos is intriguing as heck but is about to be 27. So the Rays got two potential long-term pieces for a pitcher with a record of success, albeit one who came off of a year which was only superficially strong--league average ERA, declining strikeout rate, a lot of reliance on the defense (although he's had low BABIPs for three straight seasons). It seems like a fair deal to me. (Steven Goldman)
2010-11-23 13:00:00DO you see Matt Garza and or Jason Bartlett on the Rays opening day roster?
(Brian from Florida)
Garza, yes. Bartlett, no. I think the latter gets dealt to make room for Reid Brignac, and that Shields will be the odd man out in the rotation. (Jay Jaffe)
2010-10-07 13:00:00Do you see the Rays trading a starter to make room for Jeremy Hellickson, or perhaps shifting one to the bullpen? Which pitcher would you try to trade?
(Kevin from Right here)
That makes sense and I suspect Matt Garza could be the one as the Rays look to cut the payroll. (John Perrotto)
2010-08-26 13:00:00I know they're cheaper than a 2 cent blanket, but, heck, will ask it anyway. Jennings won't be freed until June 2011 right?
(dryice from Houston)
He may get a call in September since it won't affect his service time, but yeah, Jennings won't be officially freed until 2011. It's kind of a transition year for Tampa Bay, as they have to deal with the free agency of Carlos Pena, Carl Crawford, and may have to deal Matt Garza because of a massive arbitration raise. It will be interesting to see how things go for them, in terms of who they retain, who they replace, and with what. (Marc Normandin)
2010-06-18 14:00:00Eric, thanks for the chat. Any thoughts on why Matt Garza has not pitched well lately?
(dandaman from Sea Cliff)
Well, what were your expectations entering the season? I pegged Garza for a very good year, and by taking the balance sheet approach and looking at his statement of performance as of the current date, I see a guy with a 3.50 ERA in the toughest division in baseball, a 2.3 K/BB and a walk rate slightly lower than before. Then again, he had a 2.37 ERA as of May 21, and since then has a 6.75 ERA with a 17/11 K/BB and nary a game score above 43. He hasn't been missing many bats and the walks have been coming with more regularity. The standard answer applies here -- he's neither as good as he was earlier nor as bad as he is now. Garza is probably a perennial 3.40-3.70 ERA pitcher in the AL East with the potential to be way below or above in a given year. (Eric Seidman)
2010-03-03 14:00:00anything you look for in particular when watching or looking up box scores of spring training games?
(norman from san jose)
It's important to see what a guy is doing, but sometimes more important to see who he is doing it against. For example Josh Bell went deep to day. Impressive. He went deep against Matt Garza. More impressive. I'm told he hit a second. (Kevin Goldstein)
2008-12-15 13:00:00Matt Garza had surgery to fix a broken bone in his foot that bothered him for the second half of the year. He is now ineligible for the WBC. What are the odd's Jim Hickey goes around and breaks a foot on of all his pitchers to ensure the same?
(Tommy from Clearwater)
Given how he pitched in the playoffs, I think Garza will be fine, though normal caveats about workload. Interesting point -- will Davey Johnson call Kazmir or Shields? Price? (Will Carroll)
2008-12-04 13:30:00Why are the Twins so willing to unload Delmon Young after only one season? Follow-up: what's the trade value for him--someone like Homer Bailey, or more like Matt Cain (or Matt Garza)?
(Scott from Detroit)
Argh. Got a call and lost my answer to this...his value is between them, but if the Twins trade for a pitcher, Smith should be fired. Sand to the beach, and all that. (Joe Sheehan)
2008-11-19 13:00:00Matt Garza had a huge increase in major league innings pitched from 2007-2008. Is there a serious concern that he may suffer from it in 2009?
(buddaley from Clearwater)
He's definitely in the danger zone, but given what they did, I have a hard time saying I'd do anything different. Garza has an interesting arm with some physical "deformaties" in his elbow that actually strengthen it. I'm not sure what that means in the long term, but I'll bet the Rays will watch him closely. I'm not sure if there's anything a medical staff can do that trumps workload, so this is a good test. (Will Carroll)
2008-06-23 12:00:00Hear about Matt Garza seeing a renowned sports psychologist? Do you think he's as "excitable" as Carlos Zambrano or did the Rays just replace one hot-head(Dukes or Delmon, take your pick) for another?
(jlarsen from DRays Bay)
Yeah, I read that. I don't think he is in Elijah Dukes' class (I mean who is? Not even Milton Bradley) or will do something as dumb as Delmon Young did in Class AAA. I'd say he's "excitable" like the Big Z. (John Perrotto)
2008-05-20 13:00:00Now 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)
2008-04-25 15:00:00Back when the Rays were shopping Delmon Young there appeared to be some talk of Young for Cliff Lee, but nothing came of it. Knowing what the Rays got in return and Lee's hot start which deal would have been better for the Rays?
(Tommy from OPS,FL)
Long-term, I'd still take Matt Garza over Cliff Lee, and it wouldn't cost me a moment of sleep.
Rany Jazayerli has a great Unfiltered post about Lee's hot start, a post that includes a note form Joe Sheehan regarding the quality of competition Lee has faced: "A’s twice, Twins, Royals. Ninth, 13th and 14th in the AL in EqA." Right now Lee is living off a .151 BABIP, and that's not going to last forever by any stretch of the imagination. Furthermore, sooner or later he's going to have to face some competent lineups, and when he does, you can expect his ERA to get fluffed up. The bottom line is that I don't expect him to be a significantly better pitcher than the mid-rotation inning eater who surprised us with his bellyflop last year. (Jay Jaffe)
2008-04-15 13:00:00Something smells fishy in Denmark, regarding Matt Garza's radial nerve irritation. He apparently dealt with this last year, though Gardenhire claims he heard not a word regarding it. Now, he's being told to rest his arm for 2 weeks. If he dealt with this last year, wouldn't the offseason layoff be enough to rehab from it?
(jlarsen from DRays Bay)
Not if it's irritated by pitching. (Will Carroll)
2008-03-28 14:00:00Do you see Matt Garza breaking out this year?
(R.J. from Beyond the Boxscore)
Yes, I do. Garza has about as much talent as Miller, but with more command. Everything about his context is better. I like him for 30-odd starts with an 3.80 ERA. (Joe Sheehan)
