Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Game Thread: April 5, 2008

Cleveland Indians @ Oakland Athletics


Gametime: 4:05 PM (No TV)

Victor should be back in the lineup today.

This headline on indians.com was amusing:

Getting Marte at-bats a challenge
With Blake at third and first jammed, opportunity is limited

I can think of one way to overcome this challenge...

Getting Marte sufficient at-bats to gauge his progress at the big league level will be a challenge for manager Eric Wedge this season. With Casey Blake entrenched at third, Marte has been and will be doing a lot of sitting.

"He'll pick up Casey from time to time at third base," Wedge said of Marte's outlook. "When we give Casey a day off, we'll play Andy over there."
Fantastic. So now we see what would have happened if Brandon Phillips had he made the team in 2006. Here's an idea: start Andy Marte at third base at least once a week for the next two months. If you're concerned about his defense, play him behind Cliff Lee or Paul Byrd. Understand that this arrangement may not be the best thing for Casey Blake, but it is the best thing for the Cleveland Indians.

(Update: Neither Martinez nor Marte are in today's lineup)

I love that Casey Blake is "entrenched" at third. Alex Rodriguez and David Wright should be "entrenched at third." Casey Blake should not.

Yes, that phrasing is quite amusing. It's like saying Inge was entrenched at third for the Tigers last year.

Can't Marte at least get a PH in a blowout or something? Please?

by Voltaire on Apr 5, 2008 3:25 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

What use would that be, though?

It wouldn't tell us anything about him, and even if he does well Blake will still play more.

by gahnki on Apr 5, 2008 3:32 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah, but on the off-chance he powers a PH 3-run HR or something Wedge might, might be tempted to give him a start a couple days later. It wouldn't be the best thinking, but any line of thinking that gets Marte ABs is fine with me.

by Voltaire on Apr 5, 2008 3:34 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

But what if he strikes out and Wedge takes that as a sign to sit him?

Gutz for MVP

by gahnki on Apr 5, 2008 3:35 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well, he'd be sitting otherwise, so...

Such baloney. I'm really starting to hate Casey Blake.

by supermarioelia on Apr 5, 2008 3:51 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'd like him to have the same role as Trot did last season.

by LGT Patrick on Apr 5, 2008 3:52 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

It's not his fault. I strongly dislike the hatred of Casey Blake here on LGT. I think it's misplaced and a little ignorant. I know we're all frustrated with Eric Wedge (maybe some of us with Shapiro for not forcing his hand). I know Blake is a league-average player at best. But he's still extremely valuable in the right role. If he's being used in the wrong role, it's not his fault.

by Voltaire on Apr 5, 2008 3:52 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

So then it isn't ignorant to hate what he is doing. We know he doesn't belong there. A lot of us are fine with him being on the team, but we are not ignorant regarding it.

Tribe fan from far, far away

by LGT Patrick on Apr 5, 2008 3:55 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Right. If you want to hate someone hate Wedge and his usage of Blake/Marte, not Blake himself.

by Voltaire on Apr 5, 2008 3:56 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Maybe he could just play better?

Gutz for MVP

by gahnki on Apr 5, 2008 3:55 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He's league average! We get instant league-average production at 3B, 1B, RF, and (maybe) LF. Defense might be questionable at some of those spots, but hey. I'm not gonna blame him for that.

by Voltaire on Apr 5, 2008 3:56 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

But if he played better we wouldn't have a problem. I mean, it can't be that tough hitting 50 home runs.

by gahnki on Apr 5, 2008 3:59 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

That's what I expect out of Carrol, too. He hasn't hit a single HR so far. What's he been doing with all that time on the bench, anyway?

by Voltaire on Apr 5, 2008 4:00 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

And if Jamie Carroll suddenly starting playing every day and sucking, I would start to hate him too.

Blake is good, LOBlake sucks.

Tribe fan from far, far away

by LGT Patrick on Apr 5, 2008 4:03 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He's doing exactly what I expect of him. And you're right I shouldn't be mad at him for being himself, I really do blame Wedge.

by supermarioelia on Apr 5, 2008 4:03 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

That's fine, and I don't mind ragging on Blake in jest. I just kinda have a shorter fuse about this, it's all. Since it's apparently obvious at this point - I have an irrational like of our average 3B-man.

by Voltaire on Apr 5, 2008 4:04 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

But I also think that Marte needs some starts, of course.

by Voltaire on Apr 5, 2008 4:06 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I just want to get this Marte stuff over with. Either he's good or he's not. This just keeps prolonging the process.

by supermarioelia on Apr 5, 2008 4:06 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

That really doesn't end well...of course you could blame him for shaky defense. What I mean is that correctly used in the super-utility role, shaky defense at a few positions is fine given the benefits of flexibility, not needing to make roster moves, late game position shifts, etc.

by Voltaire on Apr 5, 2008 4:00 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Ok, I'm going to be serious now.

Do we really need a super sub for LF, RF, and 1B?

We have PLENTY of outfield depth, and V-Mart/Garko at first. So, really, his only use is at third.

It had the length. It was a fair/foul issue. You seriously don't get excited by a shot down the line, maybe start a cheer sometimes, only to have one go foul?

by Voltaire on Apr 5, 2008 4:16 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'm very hesitant to give Hammy the benefit of the doubt with any home run call. Sorry but I just can't haha.

by supermarioelia on Apr 5, 2008 4:18 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I seriously think he's pretty good. When I watch on TV with radio calls he seems to react appropriately like 95% of the time. Of course you'll get the occasional egregious call, but I think it'd happen to us all. :)

by Voltaire on Apr 5, 2008 4:19 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Why are you in such a pissy mood today? We are all listening on the radio, we cannot see anything. When Hammy gets worked up only for us to realize it was foul, it gets us quite excited only to disappoint.

Tribe fan from far, far away

by LGT Patrick on Apr 5, 2008 4:18 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'm not in a pissy mood - I'm saying you can't expect Hammy to psychically know what's going to happen. Disliking Hammy for that doesn't make much sense.

There are some fantastic seats in the second or third deck behind home plate if you can get them. The mezzanine in right is always a good time, and the bleachers in left are a pretty essential experience, if only once. Be wary of the upper deck deep down the first and third baselines -- the sightlines are okay, but you practically scale the steps on all fours to get to them.

During the day, it depends on your preferences. If you're feeling cultural, it's hard to go wrong with any of the big museums. Cleveland does those right. If you're feeling ... not cultural ... I expect there are some people who can answer that question better than I.

by fleerdon on Apr 5, 2008 5:40 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not that I disagree with you, but there's no way Marte gets regular playing time if they aren't confident that he can field. Period. And with the way he looked in FL, I don't think that will happen. Marte looked like he was afraid of the ball and played everything off to his side. You can't do that in the major leagues. The only way Marte sees regular time in the first three months of the year is if Blake gets injured.

I just have this feeling that Blake is going to have a year where he hits .240 with 10-12 homers. As you said, he's 35 and not going to get better. He had a .697 OPS post-AS break last year, and he hasn't looked good for awhile. But he's not going get pulled until he fails for awhile.

However, I don't think Marte is a full-time major leauger either, not with his approach at the plate or in the field. But I would like to see if he could play for awhile and get some confidence.

by TribeJay on Apr 5, 2008 5:52 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

If Pronk is allowed to forget how to hit breaking pitches, why isn't Marte allowed to forget how to field?

by supermarioelia on Apr 5, 2008 5:54 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

We don't really know squat about Marte's approach at the plate because he hasn't had enough at bats to tell us whether he's capable of making any adjustments. The primary reason that he doesn't have a major league approach is that he hasn't had any chance to be a major leaguer.

As for the defense, I can't confirm or deny it, except to say that the reports were that the Winter Haven infield was in pretty crummy shape. If you're right, then you're right: Marte can't field like Braun unless he wants to hit like Braun. But I think you're right on with your numbers for Blake. .240/.320/.360 wouldn't surprise me in the least. And that's part of my point: If Marte can put up a 750 to 800 OPS in 2008, that might well be an improvement over what we'd get from a full year of Casey.

by fleerdon on Apr 5, 2008 6:04 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Marte could just as easily put up .180/.200/.250 and field like your Great Aunt Vernie. Better the devil you know until you actually need to make a move.

Why anyone throws Hafner a fastball middle-in is beyond me. He said it himself to Hammy before the game. He's out in front of EVERY off-speed pitch...if he doesn't take it for a strike.

Unfortunately, he did this for four months last year, so it's uncertain if you can call that a slump. It might just be what he is now.
