Houston Astros at Arizona Diamondbacks, Apr 29, 2008 9:40 PM EDT

Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
Another largely-unknown starter goes for Houston - it's only Cassel's sixth career start, with just 27.2 major-league innings to his name, even though he'll be 28 before the season ends. He's replacing the injured Wandy Rodriguez, and got the win in his only previous outing, allowing seven hits and three earned runs in five innings, as the Astros beat the Reds.
We send out Edgar Gonzalez, who has been remarkably consistent, allowing three earned runs during each of his last three outings - though ended up with a loss, a no-decision and a win in them. A 4.66 ERA is not bad for any #5 starter - and if Edgar falters early, we may get to see the debut of eagerly-anticipated prospect Max Scherzer. He pitched 23 innings for Tucson, with a 1.17 ERA and a stunning K:BB ratio of 38:3. However, any decision there may depend on how Micah Owing's bullpen session goes - he rolled his ankle running the bases during his last start. With an off-day Thursday, he'll have an extra day to recover.
Today's Gameday Thread tip concerns the use of the 'Recommend' button on comments.

soco's keys to the game
1) Grab me an egg burger at Fatburger with the missus
2) Stop by a store to get an ice pack for the missus’ busted hand (nothing I did, I swear!)
3) Come home for some D’backs baseball
4) Dread tomorrow
5) Dessert?

The worst thing about Edgar isn’t how many runs he’s given up. It’s his peripherals and how he looks on the mound.

Out of curiosity,
is Robert S. using just this season’s data?
With only four starts to his name, there’s still too much noise in the data.
Looking at last season’s numbers, his periphs were exactly what you would expect from a pitcher with an ERA in the high fours or low fives, i.e. a fifth starter.
by dahlian on Apr 29, 2008 10:04 PM EDT up reply actions 1 recs
I couldn't care less about peripherals.
Peripherals don’t win or lose games.

a one year outlier is more significant than 100+ years of positive correlation?
by dahlian on Apr 29, 2008 10:00 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
In my book
how many runs the guy gives up IS more important than peripherals—which is what I was taking exception to at the other Phil.
More important than run differential is Win/Loss record.
"Juan Cruz has Freddy Krueger stuff. Welcome to Elm Street." -- Mark Grace
by DbacksSkins on Apr 29, 2008 10:02 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
But:
(1) Peripherals is the best predictor of ERA, especially given a small sample size like this season.
(2) It’s not like Edgar has a good ERA. After his first inning, his ERA is over 5 for the season.
(3) Edgar had a 5 ERA last season, and a career ERA of 5.8
by Philip from LA on Apr 29, 2008 10:04 PM EDT up reply actions 1 recs
He had an ERA in the low 4s
as a starter last year.
"Juan Cruz has Freddy Krueger stuff. Welcome to Elm Street." -- Mark Grace
by DbacksSkins on Apr 29, 2008 10:07 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
You can slice statistics all you want. The bottom line is that Edgar hasn’t proven that he can be effective starter in the majors (especially in our ballpark where he gives up a lot of home runs). It wouldn’t annoy me that much if we didn’t have better options, starting with Scherzer and maybe even Petit.
by Philip from LA on Apr 29, 2008 10:08 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'd rather save Scherzer
and work on his development more before we let the whole league see him.
Anyway, the fact that EdGon’s ERA was much better last year when he started is particularly important in his case—he came in to pitch during A LOT of blowouts, to save the rest of the relievers.
"Juan Cruz has Freddy Krueger stuff. Welcome to Elm Street." -- Mark Grace
by DbacksSkins on Apr 29, 2008 10:11 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I agree..
EdGon was very valuable as a inning-eater last year… He may not be an ace, but we still need a real innings eater.
by singaporedbacksfan on Apr 29, 2008 10:12 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
So you’re saying he wasn’t trying during those times? And we should discount that performance? I thought a major league pitcher always tries to retire hitters and not give up runs. If anything those situations might be easier because there’s less pressure, the other manager might not use pinch-hitters, etc.
by Philip from LA on Apr 29, 2008 10:13 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
No, of course not.
But it’s a whole ‘nother story when the other team’s in a groove and has already scored a bunch.

by DbacksSkins on Apr 29, 2008 10:15 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well that sounds reasonable, but until it’s backed up by more evidence, I don’t see a good reason to discount it. Just looking at Edgar’s ERA has a starter seems to be slicing his statistics too finely. I’m not trying to slice Petit’s statistics favorably.
by Philip from LA on Apr 29, 2008 10:21 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well
then why was there such a steep difference last year between EdGon’s starting ERA and relieving ERA?
It’s like the old debate about whether closers do worse in a non-save situation.
"Juan Cruz has Freddy Krueger stuff. Welcome to Elm Street." -- Mark Grace
by DbacksSkins on Apr 29, 2008 10:24 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Disagree,
it’s nothing like that.
If a closer can’t work themselves up to get outs in a non-save situation, then they should be pistol-whipped and told to suck it out.
They’re a reliever. Their job is to get outs.
Now relievers and starters, those differences are much more pronounced.

I disagree,
there’s such a difference between having to get ready at a moment’s notice to pitch and being on a set routine and knowing days beforehand that you’ll be starting.
I think the whole “pitching to the score” or pitching in a blowout thing is overrated, though.
by dahlian on Apr 29, 2008 10:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
That's a good point.
I didn’t even consider the rotation issue.
"Juan Cruz has Freddy Krueger stuff. Welcome to Elm Street." -- Mark Grace

A perfectly-serviceable #5 starter
He’ll never win the Cy Young, but he’s decent enough to fill out the back end of the rotation and/or be the long man in the bullpen. Is Petit better? Maybe, though his ERA coming in was actually worse than EdGon’s. As for Scherzer, there is no rush I can see to start his service clock, especially since he’d only be in the rotation until Davis returns – only two or three starts.
by Jim McLennan on Apr 29, 2008 10:13 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I guess I strongly prefer Petit. Petit is a year and half younger than Edgar. Petit pitched well in winter ball and spring training. Petit had a lower ERA last year and so far has a lower ERA this year (though small sample size). Petit has a high career ERA, but he only has 80 or so career innings and highly influenced by his rookie season (so is Edgar’s career ERA).
Scherzer has been called up. Hasn’t his service clock already started? Or at least, won’t his service clock start even if he pitches in the bullpen, which is what they’re planning to do now?
by Philip from LA on Apr 29, 2008 10:18 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I really think
Petit has a slightly brighter future ahead of him, but EdGon is also out of options. I’d rather keep both in case of injury.

His service clock has already started,
just by being on the ML roster.
And it doesn’t matter much anyways. I have a hard time believing that he won’t be on the opening day roster next year, so it won’t be a matter of a third of a season here, a half of a season in ‘09 and his arb clock starts in ‘10.

As soon as he goes back down. He is only 23 and has just 21 pro ball-games under his belt – that’s less than one-tenth the number of Justin Upton, though obviously starters will play less anyway. I’m just not convinced he is MENTALLY ready for the majors yet, despite the startling success he’s had. I’d rather get him a bit more polished and simply used to facing better hitters: four games above Double-A seems perilously rapid.
by Jim McLennan on Apr 29, 2008 10:27 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Okay,
but that will only make a difference if for some reason he’s not able to start next season on the major league roster.
We’re past the point of the season where he can accrue a full season’s worth of eligibility and there is no difference between six years, two months on the roster and six years, four months.

I think that people are making to big a deal out of the service clock issue. Max is probably going back down when DD comes back (unless we can deal EdGon before hand) and his clock will stop.

Who wants EdGon?
He’s a perfectly serviceable fifth starter, but can’t team just find guys like him in their AAA affiliate?

You can slice statistics all you want. The bottom line is that Edgar hasn’t proven that he can be effective starter in the majors (especially in our ballpark where he gives up a lot of home runs). It wouldn’t annoy me that much if we didn’t have better options, starting with Scherzer and maybe even Petit.by Philip from LA on Apr 29, 2008 7:08 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs

Cruz
was pretty inconsistent when he was a starter for us. I know he didn’t want to go to the bullpen, but coming out of the ‘pen, he has stretches where he is absolutely DOMINANT.

My opinion
In my mind, a player’s skill changes less than his numbers do, and peripherals, in my opinion, are a better predictor of skill, and while they obviously don’t win championships, they can forecast a pitcher’s true talent more than ERA and record.
by LucaMaz3 on Apr 29, 2008 10:13 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Depends on the peripherals
However, things like FIP, which don’t take defense into account, have their weaknesses too. I remember a long discussion with shoe, when we were doing the community projections, on how Arizona pitchers had ALL outperformed FIP – he didn’t think it’d happen again this year, but thus far, they collectively have the biggest gap in the NL.
by Jim McLennan on Apr 29, 2008 10:16 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
As dahlian mentioned before, it has been shown that peripherals have a stronger correlation year-to-year, which shows they show more skill, and less statistical variation, but you’re right, they do have some problems, like FIP’s inability to count the strength (fly balls/line drives/ground balls) of the balls hit off the pitcher.
by LucaMaz3 on Apr 29, 2008 10:21 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah.
That’s my biggest gripe with FIP—it undervalues players like Webby who rely on the ground ball.

The other thing is that run differential is only a good predictor of wins and losses early in the season. When you have a large enough sample size, your actual wins and losses become a better predictor.

The thing that worries me
about Scherzer as a starter is his durability. Even when he’s wielding the hammer of Thor down in AAA, he’s going less than six innings a start.
Combine that with his need for an innings cap this year, I see no problem with using him as a part-time AAA starter/MLB reliever so that he’ll be able to help us should we get to October.
That’s why I don’t think this is as inefficient of a baseball decision as others do.

When you’d play ball in the street and a car would come along, everybody would yell, “Car” and theoretically you’d all get out of the way. So when they have a break in the action (pitching change, etc.) they hold up the “CAR” signs.
Though I like the other explanations better.
