When I used to play baseball it was always more defeating being beaten by a guy who threw hard. You’d tip your hat and say “wow, he gassed me today, and then when I sat on gas, he changed speeds,” or something to that effect. On the other hand, no matter how badly a slow guy beat you, you always felt like you were right on the cusp of making something happen. You could go 0-4 against the slow guy but know that you’re a mistake away from hitting him hard.

I think that’s how other teams must feel facing the triumverate that is Huff, Sowers, and Laffey. It’s not a matter of if you’ll hit them, it’s a matter of when. At least that’s how I would feel.

i always hated losing to the slow guys more. because i know we should have beat them. the harder throwers with better stuff you could at least tell were just tougher and better pitchers.

by johnf34 on Sep 6, 2009 1:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

That’s exactly it. Although I never felt down when someone soft-tossed a shutout or something. I didn’t feel overmatched and I knew that given time it would even out in the hitter’s favor. Or at least that’s what I thought.

by johnf34 on Sep 6, 2009 1:29 PM EDT up reply actions  

I was a catcher and we had a few guys like that. There was a huge degree of satisfaction when you could see the frustration on the hitter’s faces.

Slow guys were also fun to catch. They all thought they threw twenty different pitches from different arm slots and they’d bounce every other pitch in. It was a huge ego boost for a catcher because it looked like I was putting on a blocking clinic.

Not so much of an ego boost if they were slow to the plate. My senior year I led the league in CS but teams attempted an absurd amount of stolen bases due to slow delivery and slow velocity.

it was always hard for people to be patient against a slower pitcher. they seemed to hit the first pitch that even came through the zone.

waiting out a slower pitcher is the way to do it because those mistakes are going to be even more hittable.

by johnf34 on Sep 6, 2009 1:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

I was a bigger guy who had (in his own mind) Herculean power so I would swing out of my shoes in this situation. Eventually I learned to sit back and look oppo the whole way. Slower guys usually weren’t comfortable coming inside with the fastball so they’d back door you a whole lot with sliders and change ups. Once I figured that out I was fine. Unfortunately, that was the summer before my senior year, so I only got one real season to use my new-found knowledge.

Not a tough area per se. It’s really a town divided. There’s a very upper middle class contingent and then a lower class (like below poverty line).

Question for you guys… With Chris Perez’s performance…assuming Wood’s option doesn’t vest, but say he goes 6 for 6 or 6 for 7 in save situations the rest of the way. Is there a small chance we deal him in the offseason?

I’m not saying we wouldn’t possibly need to take on salary back in some form to make it work, but if we seemingly still have to move Shoppach and/or Peralta to help with payroll and allow us to potentially add a piece, I wonder if the Wood route still could work.

by cheech99 on Sep 6, 2009 2:26 PM EDT reply actions  

yea we would deal wood, it’s just that nobody wants to take on his money.. i think he would have been traded already if someone would have taken his contract

by johnf34 on Sep 6, 2009 2:27 PM EDT up reply actions  

without thinking much about what the closer market will be like this winter (in terms of buyers), I think it is unlikely we’d be able to move Wood without eating part of his contract. Not, I think, because teams don’t think Wood is capable of being an elite closer, but more because the entire market seems to have eased a bit from when we signed Wood.

by APV on Sep 6, 2009 2:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

of course it is also possible that 2011 rolls around and Wood is playing a major, albeit possibly overpaid, role in the bullpen

by APV on Sep 6, 2009 2:30 PM EDT up reply actions  

please dont even say that! that would be awful

by johnf34 on Sep 6, 2009 2:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

why would that be so bad?

by APV on Sep 6, 2009 2:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

agreed….having a veteran closer that is doing his job can’t be a bad thing if we are to compete.

by MooneysRebellion on Sep 6, 2009 2:34 PM EDT up reply actions  

the entire bullpen other than wood makes something like 4 million right now? in the indians market, paying anybody 10 million+ a year is questionable.. paying a below average closer over tha amount 3 consecutive years is terrible when the team is going to “not be much of a contender” according to the FO.

there is an argument that C Perez is ready to close now.. and even if he isnt, he almost surely will be next year. by 2011 he should be locked into that role. why wait until 2012?

by johnf34 on Sep 6, 2009 2:36 PM EDT up reply actions  

I would argue that wood is not below average.

My uncle says you've got a screw loose.
Your uncle molests collies.

by gorilla_baller on Sep 6, 2009 2:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yes. Wood has struggled at times with his control (and therefore HRs) this year, but his stuff is still top notch.

by APV on Sep 6, 2009 2:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

he doesnt fit with the club long term, i think seeing what we have with perez or even some other internal option would be a better path.

by Julie on Sep 6, 2009 2:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think this year will be more of an issue, and looks pretty safe at the moment. As I said, I imagine they will find ways to keep his playing time down early next season so that it doesn’t become an issue.

by APV on Sep 6, 2009 2:45 PM EDT up reply actions  

We can see what we have with Perez in the 8th inning.

It makes little difference if he’s a long-term fit; it’s a short-term contract. If things go well in 2010, we may well decide he’s worth the money for 2011 on a one-year deal.

by Jay on Sep 6, 2009 4:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

ok, we can give him average if you want.. but for this organization to pay someone that much you have to be either
A) elite or
B) have no other alternative options in the organization who are big league ready

wood is not elite. and there are other options

by johnf34 on Sep 6, 2009 2:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

But we need more than one good reliever. Wood and Perez don’t create a redundancy.

by Jay on Sep 6, 2009 4:17 PM EDT up reply actions  

With the emergence of Chris Perez and the abundance of club controlled arms I’m hoping the $11 million that would get spent on Wood’s option would have a better use somewhere else.
