Clips for 7-12-10 MEDIA CLIPS – January 17, 2017 Marquez sets sights on permanent rotation role Young righty uses self-maintained database of outings to continue improving By Thomas Harding / MLB.com | January 16, 2017 DENVER -- Rockies right-hander German Marquez's cellphone tells the story, in words and motion pictures, of a rapid climb that he hopes lands him in the big leagues for good when the 2017 season starts. Two seasons ago, while still within the Rays' organization, Marquez would type notes from each start into his phone, and at times augment the entries with video clips. He continued last year, after he joined the Rockies in a four-player trade. Marquez provided numerous highlights -- a standout season at Double-A Hartford (9-6, 2.85 ERA, 126 strikeouts in 135 2/3 innings) that earned him Eastern League Pitcher of the Year honors, five solid starts at Triple-A Albuquerque and a promising Major League debut -- 1-1, 5.23 ERA in six games (three starts). "Every outing I had, I kind of jot down notes about the good things and bad things that I did so I can learn from it and kind of utilize that moving forward," Marquez said in Spanish through his agent, Daniel Szew. "At the end of the season, I check everything, but I also study video of other pitchers that remind me of myself to see how they attack hitters and try to learn from them as well." Now Marquez, who turns 22 on Feb. 22, hopes to have a cellphone full of Major League highlights in 2017. Barring injury or other change in the Rockies' situation, Marquez, the Rockies' No. 5 prospect according to MLBPipeline.com -- is part of the competition for one open spot in the pitching rotation. 1 Also vying are some other highly regarded former first-round MLB Draft picks -- righty Jeff Hoffman (the No. 2 prospect), who also debuted last season, and lefty Kyle Freeland (No. 7), who spent last season at Albuquerque -- and veteran swingman Chris Rusin, who spent most of last year in the bullpen but will come to Spring Training stretched out and ready to start. Even if the Rockies add a starter via trade or a free-agent Major or Minor League signing, Marquez will find himself with a chance to earn a role with the big club. To prepare, Marquez has turned down an invitation to pitch for his home country, Venezuela, in the World Baseball Classic. Instead he will head to the Rockies' complex in Scottsdale, Ariz., about three weeks before the initial pitcher- catcher workout on Feb. 14. "I'm going to go 100 percent in Spring Training," said Marquez, who joined the Rockies with lefty reliever Jake McGee in the trade that sent outfielder Corey Dickerson and infielder Kevin Padlo to the Rays on Jan. 28, 2016. "I wanted to go to the Classic, too, but I want to fight for the five-man rotation. Marquez's debut, against the Padres on Sept. 8, was a nervous relief appearance -- he hadn't thrown out of the bullpen since a Class A Advanced game for the Charlotte Stone Crabs in August 2015 -- during which he gave up three runs on two hits and an uncharacteristic three walks in 2 1/3 innings. But he calmed down to toss two scoreless relief appearances. In his first start, he held the Cardinals to one run and four hits in five innings of his first Major League win, an 11-1 Rockies victory on Sept. 21 at Coors Field. The Giants tagged him for 12 hits and six runs in 4 1/3 innings of a 12-3 road loss on Sept. 27, but he pitched far better in a no-decision in the season finale against the Brewers -- six innings, six hits, two runs and seven strikeouts -- on Oct. 2. Marquez's hallmark was easy power -- a four-seam fastball that topped out at 96.9 mph during a relief appearance but usually sat around 94.5 mph. He doesn't have the long fingers like many pitchers, but his wide-shouldered, 6-foot-1 frame naturally produces power. Marquez did not have a personal tutor growing up, but he displayed enough talent that he drew the eye of Venezuelan scout Mario Gonzalez -- whose son, Marwin Gonzalez, is an Astros infielder. From there, the Rays ended up signing him. 2 Marquez offsets his fastball with his curve (79 mph) and changeup (83 mph). His fastball and curve were mostly responsible for a 54.9 percent Major League groundball rate that he can add to if he completes his offseason homework assignment. "I need to work a little bit more on my changeup, and then the pitching coaches want me to work a little bit more on my slider, so I might start utilizing that if I get comfortable with it," said Marquez, who said he has not used a slider but had thrown a limited number of two-seam sinking fastballs." 3 Arenado excited for '17 with contract settled By Thomas Harding / MLB.com | January 13, 2017 DENVER -- Nolan Arenado calls money "one of my least-favorite topics ever." And with the two-year contract worth $29.5 million he signed on Friday to avoid arbitration, he doesn't have to worry about it as he prepares for 2017. "Money doesn't do anything; I'm going to be putting pressure on myself because I want to be the best and be good at this game," Arenado said. "I take pride in it. I don't like to let the fans down, and I don't like to let my teammates down. That's why I'm my hardest critic." Arenado's contract will pay him $11.75 million in 2017 and $17.75 million in '18, and it leaves a year of arbitration eligibility in '19. "Over a couple days, each side kind of thought about it, without going into any specifics, and then we were able to quickly get things done today," Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich said. Additionally, the Rockies signed their two other arbitration-eligible players -- center fielder Charlie Blackmon and right- handed starter Tyler Chatwood -- to one-year deals for 2017. The club already reached one-year deals earlier this offseason to avoid arbitration with relievers Jake McGee ($5.9 million) and Jordan Lyles ($3.18 million). Arenado, who turns 26 on April 16 and is one of the game's top young stars, has tied for the National League home run crown each of the last two years -- 42 in 2015 to tie the Nationals' Bryce Harper and 41 last year to match Chris Carter -- and won a Rawlings Gold Glove Award in each of his first four Major League seasons. Arenado also has led the Majors in RBIs the last two seasons -- 130 in 2015 and 133 last year. After hitting .287 in '14-15, he rasied his average to .294 last season, and his .362 on-base percentage was a career high. He still seeks improvement, not only offensively, but also defensively -- even though he is the first third baseman in history to earn Gold Glove Awards each of his first four seasons. He made just one error before the All-Star break, and finished with 13. "That's something that's been bothering me the whole offseason, how I went from that to that," Arenado said. 4 "My overall game needs to get better. You can find ways to get better. I could walk more. I could get more quality at-bats … hitting different pitches better, having more quality at-bats against better pitching, those things. Arenado said he heads into Spring Training with high hopes for a Rockies team that has a solid lineup and young starting pitching. The club has added right-handed-hitting Ian Desmond for five years and $70 million this offseason and left- hander Mike Dunn to the bullpen for three years and $19 million. "I like our chances," Arenado said. "I think we're good. I thought we were good no matter what. We have the talent. We have young guys that are getting better. We have a solidified rotation, which is really nice to know. That's a good start. "We've got to get better, got to keep growing. But this is the year where we've got to take that next step and start winning games." 5 Blackmon, Chatwood agree to deals for 2017 Duo, along with Arenado, avoids arbitration on Friday By Thomas Harding / MLB.com | January 13, 2017 DENVER -- The Rockies reached one-year contract agreements on Friday with center fielder Charlie Blackmon and right-handed starter Tyler Chatwood to avoid arbitration, the club announced. Blackmon signed for $7.3 million, while Chatwood signed for $4.4 million. The deals mean the Rockies have avoided having to go to an arbitration hearing with any of their players. Earlier on Friday, the Rockies announced a two-year contract worth $29.5 million with third baseman Nolan Arenado. Friday was the deadline for teams and players to exchange their filing numbers. Earlier in the offseason, the Rockies avoided arbitration by reaching one-year agreements with left-hander Jake McGee for $5.9 million and right-hander Jordan Lyles for $3.18 million. Blackmon, 30, the Rockies' leadoff hitter, established career bests in runs (111, third in the National League), hits (187), doubles (35), home runs (29), RBIs (82), batting average (.324, fourth in the NL), on-base percentage (.381) and slugging percentage (.552) during a breakout season in 2016.

  • Fair Ball! Why Adjustments Are Needed
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. CHAPTER 1 Fair Ball! Why Adjustments Are Needed King Arthur’s quest for it in the Middle Ages became a large part of his legend. Monty Python and Indiana Jones launched their searches in popular 1974 and 1989 movies. The mythic quest for the Holy Grail, the name given in Western tradition to the chal- ice used by Jesus Christ at his Passover meal the night before his death, is now often a metaphor for a quintessential search. In the illustrious history of baseball, the “holy grail” is a ranking of each player’s overall value on the baseball diamond. Because player skills are multifaceted, it is not clear that such a ranking is possible. In comparing two players, you see that one hits home runs much better, whereas the other gets on base more often, is faster on the base paths, and is a better fielder. So which player should rank higher? In Baseball’s All-Time Best Hitters, I identified which players were best at getting a hit in a given at-bat, calling them the best hitters. Many reviewers either disapproved of or failed to note my definition of “best hitter.” Although frequently used in base- ball writings, the terms “good hitter” or best hitter are rarely defined. In a July 1997 Sports Illustrated article, Tom Verducci called Tony Gwynn “the best hitter since Ted Williams” while considering only batting average.

  • 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.

    MEDIA CLIPS – July 24th, 2018 Inbox: Should Rox pursue reliever at Deadline? Beat reporter Thomas Harding answers questions from Colorado fans By Thomas Harding MLB.com @harding_at_mlb Jul. 23rd, 2018 DENVER -- The most likely way the Rockies will pick to keep their surge going is to improve the bullpen by the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline -- or at least that's the way I'm answering the first question in the Edward Jones Beat Reporter's Inbox. Thomas Harding ✔@harding_at_mlb Please tweet me here with your questions for the next @EdwardJones #Rockies Beat Reporter's Inbox. Eric Swanson@Eric_C_Swanson With all the money spent on the bullpen this offseason, yet it still seems to be a need for this team; is there any chance they make a move to acquire a reliever at the deadline? 7:08 AM - Jul 23, 2018 This question is the biggest one that the Rockies are likely to address. In doing so, let's address exactly what the need is. First, I'll determine what's pertinent, and any stat for any reliever that takes into account the season is not. I'm going to look at the Rockies' bullpen starting June 28, the beginning of the club's current 15-4 run. The full bullpen is 7- 2 with a 3.34 ERA over that period, but even that doesn't tell us the exact areas of strength and need. 1 Let's zero in on key individuals, working from the ninth inning to earlier innings (more or less), starting June 28: • Closer Wade Davis: nine innings pitched, 1.00 ERA, .129 batting average against, 11 strikeouts, two walks • Righty Adam Ottavino: 10 2/3 IP, 3.38 ERA, .318 BAA, 14 SO, 5 BB • Righty Scott Oberg: 10 IP, 1.80 ERA, .278 BAA, 10 SO, 1 BB • Righty Bryan Shaw: 4 1/3 IP (since his return from a right calf strain), 2.08 ERA, .188 BAA, 6 SO, 2 BB • Lefty Chris Rusin: 7 1/3 IP, 6.14 ERA, .323 BAA, 4 SO, 3 BB • Lefty Jake McGee: 5 2/3 IP, 6.35 ERA, .273 BA, 6 SO, 3 BB (.905 OPS against) So this gives the Rockies two ways to shore up the back end of the bullpen.
