Jerry Dipoto is looking for at least two starters but says the market will settle out over time. By Mike DiGiovanna, Los Angeles Times November 10, 2012 Jerry Dipoto said this week's general managers meetings were "like a setup," a chance to meet agents and GMs in the casual atmosphere of an Indian Wells resort and lay the groundwork for potential free-agent signings and trades, not to consummate deals. "We tried to digest as much information as we could," the Angels GM said. Some of that information might be hard to stomach. One report said pitcher Zack Greinke, the Angels' top winter target, is seeking a six-year, $150-million deal. Another said pitcher Anibal Sanchez, a quality right-hander but part of a not-so-appealing group of second-tier free-agent starters, wants six years and $90 million. Dipoto, who would like to acquire at least two front-line starting pitchers, was neither scared off by nor overly concerned about what might be perceived as a sudden spike in the market. "You're always going to get inflated expectations at the start of the off-season, not just for free agents but in the trade market," Dipoto said. "Nobody comes in and low-balls you. We're watching the landscape and will see how things unfold." Dipoto met with Casey Close, Greinke's agent, this week but would not say much about negotiations with the right-hander who went 6-2 with a 3.53 earned-run average in 13 starts for the Angels after being acquired from Milwaukee for three prospects July 27. "I'm not going to give you a progress report," Dipoto said. "The market doesn't run like that," he added, snapping his fingers. Case closed? With Rafael Soriano rejecting the New York Yankees' qualifying offer Friday and the Detroit Tigers reportedly not that interested in the relief ace, might the Angels aggressively pursue Soriano? Don't count on it. Yankees President Randy Levine said agent Scott Boras believes he can command a deal in the four-year, $60-million range for Soriano, who went 2-1 with a 2.26 ERA and November 12, 2012 Page 4 of 38 42 saves. Dipoto considers that kind of long-term investment in the volatile relief market to be extremely risky. "You're never really looking for big-ticket items in the bullpen," Dipoto said. "You're looking for guys who can handle the role." Dipoto did not pursue closers such as Heath Bell, Jonathan Papelbon and Ryan Madson last winter, going into the season with Jordan Walden as closer before acquiring Ernesto Frieri, who went 4-2 with a 2.32 ERA and 23 saves, from San Diego in early May. "With starting pitchers, you have track records, and you have a good idea what you're going to get out of position players," Dipoto said in October. But spending lavishly on relievers "is akin to going to Las Vegas and throwing it down on double-zero green." Short hops The Angels hired Tim Bogar to manage double-A Arkansas and former All-Star Mike Hampton as pitching coach. Bobby Scales has been hired as director of player development, and Michael Noboa as coordinator of Latin American operations. Angels may have to turn to free-agent market to fill pitching void Several teams have pitchers they may be willing to part with, but Angels General Manager Jerry Dipoto might lack the chips to deal in order to fill three rotation spots. By Mike DiGiovanna, Los Angeles Times November 9, 2012 Atlanta has a surplus of starting pitchers and might be willing to part with Tommy Hanson, Julio Teheran or Randall Delgado. Arizona is reportedly willing to trade Trevor Bauer, the former UCLA star who was the third pick in the 2011 draft. Tampa Bay (James Shields, Jeremy Hellickson), Cleveland (Justin Masterson), the New York Mets (R.A. Dickey) and Chicago White Sox (Gavin Floyd) also have pitching assets that might interest the Angels, but General Manager Jerry Dipoto may lack the chips required to deal for such starters. A commitment to start Peter Bourjos, long coveted by others, probably removes the speedy center fielder as potential trade bait, and with three rotation spots to fill, the Angels are not about to trade hard-throwing 24-year-old Garrett Richards. There is no surplus of outfielders, unless you consider overpaid, underachieving Vernon Wells a tradable commodity, or middle infielders beyond Erick Aybar and Howie Kendrick. November 12, 2012 Page 5 of 38 There isn't much power beyond Albert Pujols, Kendrys Morales and Mark Trumbo, who will fill the middle of the order, and the Angels used three top prospects — shortstop Jean Segura and pitchers Johnny Hellweg and Arial Pena — to acquire pitcher Zack Greinke in July. There is little high-end talent in the system above double A, and Mike Trout isn't going anywhere. So where does that leave Dipoto in his search to fill rotation voids left by Greinke and Dan Haren, who are free agents, and Ervin Santana, who was traded to Kansas City? Probably in the free-agent market. "Trades are very rarely connect one dot," Dipoto said at the general managers' meetings in Indian Wells. "You're not typically trading A for B — there's usually more than one name. There are a variety of ways to make trades. I can't say I've spent a whole lot of time thinking through it, because I don't know that that's Plan A." Plan A is to go full bore for Greinke and add another pitcher to a rotation that consists of Jered Weaver, C.J. Wilson, Jerome Williams and Richards. But Dipoto seems reluctant to break up his core to do so. "We like our position-player club," Dipoto said. "If at all possible, we'd like to keep that club together. Any time you add through a trade, you have to take away." Improving the bullpen is also a priority, and that pursuit could take the Angels to Japan. Dipoto confirmed he's interested in free-agent closer Kyuji Fujikawa. Fujikawa, 32, was 3-3 with a 1.24 earned-run average and 41 saves for the Hanshin Tigers last season and would like to play on the West Coast. The right-hander mixes a 93-mph fastball with a split-finger fastball and slider. "There's an attraction there for the player and for us," Dipoto said. "We've seen him against major league hitters. There's no question about his ability. He's a talented guy." Etc. The Angels signed reliever Mitch Stetter, 32, to a minor league deal. The left-hander appeared in 132 games for Milwaukee from 2007-2011, going 8-2 with a 4.08 ERA. … Trout is the first Angels rookie and 17th player in franchise history to win a Silver Slugger Award, given to the top offensive producers at each position. November 12, 2012 Page 6 of 38 FROM THE ORAN GE COUNTY REGISTER Fulfilling a fantasy and feeding the hungry, all thanks to Angels' groundskeepers Angels groundskeepers will open Angel Stadium for their annual canned food drive, allowing fans on the field to hit, pitch and field in exchange for a donation of food or money. By MARCIA C. SMITH COLUMNIST THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER ANAHEIM – Barney Lopas has taken care of the field at Angel Stadium so long that this workplace - after maintaining it for 81 Angels baseball home games, converting it into a CIF football field and grooming it for exhibition ballgames - sometimes can become just that: a workplace. The Angels' head groundskeeper and his crew meticulously care for this major league ballpark year-round. They mow and water its Bermuda rye blend. They seed its worn patches. They rake its warning track and infield dirt. They chalk its lines. But every November, months after major league baseball ends, Lopas can't help but be reminded of how special this diamond of baseball history remains. That's when hundreds of baseball enthusiasts make a pilgrimage, some driving long distances or flying in from far-flung hometowns, for an opportunity simply to step on the same field where Albert Pujols and Mike Trout come to work, where Nolan Ryan once took the mound and where the Angels won their 2002 World Series.

  • Nationals Zimmerman Named NL Player of the Month
    Nationals Zimmerman named NL Player of the Month Posted by TBNDavid On 05/05/2017 On the heels of his first National League Player of the Week award since 2012, Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman continued his early-season haul with the National League Player of the Month award for April. Major League Baseball made the announcement on MLB Network. Zimmerman, who set a Nationals record (2005-present) for RBI in a month with 29, entered May hitting .420 and leading the Major Leagues in batting average, slugging percentage (.886), RBI (29), OPS (1.345), home runs (T1st, 11), hits (37), and extra-base hits (1st, 19), while ranking second in multi-hit games (T2nd, 12). With 11 home runs in the season's first month, Zimmerman set the franchise record for home runs in the month of March/April, and tied his own career best for home runs in any single month. The 11 home runs marked Zimmerman's first calendar month with that many longballs since September 2013, when he also hit 11. The month was also one in which Zimmerman moved his way up multiple franchise leaderboards (Nationals/Expos), passing Hall of Fame players in the process. On April 19, Zimmerman passed Andre Dawson to move into second on the franchise's all-time RBI list with 840. By month's end, he had increased that total to 858. On April 23, the Nationals' first baseman moved past Hall of Famer Gary Carter for third on the franchise's all-time home run list, and on April 28, he moved into second place on that same list, passing Dawson with his 226th career home run.

  • Why Did Cleveland Indians Sign Mike Napoli Instead of Pedro Alvarez?
    Why did Cleveland Indians sign Mike Napoli instead of Pedro Alvarez? Hey, Hoynsie Paul Hoynes, cleveland.com CLEVELAND, Ohio – Do you have a question that you'd like to have answered in Hey, Hoynsie? Submit it here or Tweet him at @hoynsie. Hey, Hoynsie: Why did the Indians sign Mike Napoli, 34, for one year to play first base when Pedro Alvarez, 27, was available? Did management know Alvarez hit 27 home runs last season? -- Jimmy Garst, Roanoke, Va. Hey, Jimmy: The Indians did show interest in Alvarez, who was non-tendered by the Pirates and became a free agent. I think a couple of things probably came into play: No. 1, Alvarez was more expensive than the $7 million deal the Indians agreed to with Napoli. No. 2, the Indians felt Napoli helped them two ways – he gave their offense needed pop from the right side of the plate and he improved their defense. Napoli – whose deal should soon be made official – allows the Indians to move Carlos Santana to DH while he will get most of the time at first base. There is no doubt about Alvarez's power, but he made 23 errors at first base last season. I think the Indians preferred Napoli, considering the cost, at first and Santana at DH instead of Santana at first and Alvarez at DH. Hey, Hoynsie: The Reds seem interested in moving outfielder Jay Bruce. Is the Tribe done with its outfield or would it be interested in a guy who is as streaky hitter as there is, but definitely has pop? – Carl Neifer, Cincinnati.

A Summer Wildfire: How the greatest debut in baseball history peaked and dwindled over the course of three months by Colin Thomas Reynolds, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 SUPERVISORS: Tracy Dahlby & Bill Minutaglio The narrative itself is an ageless one, a fundamental Shakespearean tragedy in its progression. A young man is deemed invaluable and exalted by the public. The hero is cast into the spotlight and bestowed with insurmountable expectations. But the acclamations and pressures are burdensome and the invented savior fails to fulfill the prospects once imagined by the public. He is cast aside, disregarded as a symbol of failure or one deserving of pity. It’s the quintessential tragedy of a fallen hero. The protagonist of this report is Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg, who enjoyed a phenomenal rookie season before it ended abruptly due to a severe elbow injury.
