Vogelbach has struggled in recent weeks, and leads the team in strikeouts with 19 in just 57 at-bats. For a team focused on controlling the strike zone, Vogelbach's slump in precisely that area was going to draw attention. After opening the season with 8 Ks and 4 BBs in his first 26 ABs, he's had 11 Ks and 3 BBs in his last 28. Overall, his K rate is 30%, not what the M's wanted out of a bat-first position. Dipoto referenced the temporary demotions last year of James Paxton and Mike Zunino, with the thinking that he can get more work in for the Rainiers instead of playing sporadically as a bench bat in Seattle. That's probably a good thing. He dominated the strike zone for Tacoma, but his SLG% of .422 probably wasn't ideal for the position. Sure, the OBP was amazing, but I wonder if he made some adjustments looking to tap into more power and threw his swing (and process at the plate) out of whack a bit.
The final utility roster spot seems decided as well: Shawn O'Malley's imminent appendectomy will require a few weeks of recovery time, so the job is essentially Taylor Motter's by default. As with Vogelbach, I'd imagine we'll see O'Malley at some point this season, but Motter will get the first crack at the job.
]]>Hisashi Iwakuma will try to rebound from an ugly start in that 24-3 drubbing at the hands of the Brewers. I know it's early, and that his game isn't based on velocity, but Iwakuma's averaged 86 MPH on his fastball in his first start of the spring, according to BrooksBaseball (so MLB would have it even slower). That was very early, and he got good outcomes, but after the Milwaukee unpleasantness, it might be worth watching. Iwakuma's critical to this team, as one potential advantage people have ascribed to the M's vis a vis the Astros is their rotation's depth. If Iwakuma stumbles, or pitches more like a #4/5 starter, that advantage starts to look pretty shaky.
I'm not convinced that Collin McHugh is much more than a #3 or 4 at this point, and the Astros might need to ask a lot of their rookies Francis Martes/David Paulino, so I understand the point. But to me, the M's rotation has as many question marks. A bounce-back season from Iwakuma would answer a big one, and a stretch of good health from James Paxton would answer another. The pieces are there for the M's to have a better run prevention unit than the Astros, but a lot needs to go right. The M's depth looks better today than it did a month ago thanks to strong springs from Andrew Moore and Max Povse, but the Astros still have secret weapon Chris Devenski, who had one of the best years for a swingman in recent memory, behind their starting 5.
Today against the Giants, the depleted M's (day game after a day/night split squad day yesterday) have several back-ups starting and ready to come on later. Steve Baron starts at C, and ex-Indy Leaguer/ex-position-player-pitcher-hybrid Micah Owings' may make an appearance out of the pen.

The new statcast data includes 5 buckets, each given 1-5 stars. The 5 star buckets are converted into outs less than 10% of the time, and 1 stars are converted into outs about 90-95% of the time. Jeff's got a great post on the new Statcast data today at Fangraphs, and he's helpfully calculated the average conversion rate for the Statcast era, or 2015+2016. With that, we can compare each player's catches to what we think a league average OF would make, given the same opportunities. I used his averages and calculated plays made above average for each player in 2015 and 2016, and then I looked at how their chances were distributed. That is, some players (Jackie Bradley, Jr.) saw proportionally more extremely difficult opportunities, while others (Kevin Kiermaier) saw fewer. The plays on the Statcast leaderboards apparently don't include the absolutely never missed, can of corn, 100% probability balls. At least, that's my guess just from noting that the sum of each players chances across all 5 buckets totals a fraction of their overall chances/putouts as reported elsewhere. If true, that means that the plays that really separate defenders are in a few not-terribly-large buckets in the ranges where catches are made 25-50% of the time or so. Given THAT, I'm pretty impressed with how reliable these numbers look. Kiermaier, Lorenzo Cain, Ender Inciarte, etc. look great both years despite varying playing time, opportunities, etc.
Let's take a Mariner-centric view of this, and attempt to answer a few questions. First, how good was the M's defense last year, and second, how much better was it than 2015's? Third, does anything stand out about the distribution of the M's outfield opportunities? Finally, what would replacing Nori Aoki with Jarrod Dyson and Seth Smith with Mitch Haniger do in terms of additional plays made?
Jeff mentioned it in his piece, but one of the first big takeaways is that Leonys Martin looks quite good in the Statcast-based metrics – better than he did in UZR/DRS, where he graded out as a dead-on average CF last year. Martin made 11+ plays more than expected, a bit better than the 4 runs saved by UZR, and a far sight better than DRS's 2 runs *below* average. That edges out Lorenzo Cain, who ranked 2nd in all of baseball in 2015. On the other hand, it essentially ties him with the 11 runs saved by the M's 2015 CF, Austin Jackson (yes, Jackson split time that year with the Cubs, but the bulk of it was in Seattle). Seth Smith and Norichika Aoki both graded out a bit below average (probably not a shock to most M's fans), while Nelson Cruz and Guillermo Heredia kind of cancelled each other out. Interestingly, the corner OF picture wasn't all that different in 2015. It was worse, clearly, thanks to many more innings from Nelson Cruz, the Mark Trumbo experience, and Brad Miller's disastrous trial in the OF. That said, Seth Smith graded out as a perfectly average OF, and he played more defensive innings than Cruz, and more than Trumbo and Miller combined.
One striking thing about the distribution of chances the M's have handled is that nearly every M's OF has faced slightly more "midrange" opportunities, and *every* M's OF has faced fewer 5 star opportunities. I combined the middle three Statcast buckets into one group, and compared that to the hard/easy outliers. Across the league, about 23-24% of balls are in the 5 star bucket, and 32% are in the 1 star; this was remarkably consistent in both years. Combining the rest into one larger group, you'd expect players to get about 44-45% of their chances in this maybe/maybe not zone. In general, the M's were higher than that, with the CFs (Martin in 2016 and Jackson in 2015) at 50% or so. A few of the corner OFs had fewer opportunities in this midrange zone, but in those cases, the extra chances went to the "easy" bucket, NOT to the hardest one. Seth Smith and Mark Trumbo had a lot more "easy" chances in 2015, so every M's player season in the list faced fewer 5 star chances than we'd expect. I'm biased, of course, but I think that adds some credence to the hypothesis in my last post on OF defense that Safeco gives OFs a higher defensive floor than most parks.
That parks could change the distribution of fly balls makes some sense, as Colorado's massive OF would mean balls hit a hundred feet from an OF might still be in play instead of in the 8th row of seats. Boston's huge CF might account for why, say, Jackie Bradley and Mookie Betts had so many MORE 5 star opportunities (but it wouldn't explain why they didn't in 2015). That said, I'm pleased to see that getting a bunch of 5 star opportunities isn't correlated with high defensive rankings. There are many ways to succeed here, as Adam Eaton got a lot more 5 star and 1 star plays and graded out brilliantly, while Kevin Kiermaier had the opposite distribution (lower on the tails, big in the middle) and did well, too.
It's a tiny sample, but Mitch Haniger looks really good by Statcast, and it'll probably come as no shock that Jarrod Dyson does, too. I think what we've seen here is that the M's OF defense wasn't the historically awful group that, say, DRS thought they were in 2015 and they weren't bad in 2016, either. That said, there's still plenty of room for improvement, and in Dyson and Haniger, the M's acquired two players who will almost certainly get to more balls in 2017. Quantifying it is difficult, but 20 additional plays seems like a very conservative number to start with, assuming 5 plays below average for Aoki/Smith and 15 above for Dyson/Haniger. Decent positioning should help the M's get to more of the tougher "midrange" chances, and the post-2012 dimensions means the M's don't have to worry about as many of the nearly-impossible ones. To get the biggest bang for their trading buck, the M's would presumably hope for more opportunities overall, and that brings us back to the weird HR effects Safeco Field saw in 2016. Regression *there* would produce big savings in runs allowed, as you'd take HRs off the board (duh) and turn more of the resulting balls in play into outs.
Other random items that come to mind after staring at a spreadsheet:
1: I left the minimum balls in play threshold at 50, the same as the default setting at Baseballsavant.com. You can play around with it, but what it does is exclude some defensive experiments that might pull down the overall average. That means that the group who gets rated was the group entrusted with fielding a few games, and not just a few innings in an emergency. Thus, the league-wide plays above expected level isn't zero – it's quite a bit higher. Interestingly, that was much less of an issue in 2016 than 2015, when the cutoff meant the league appeared to make 200+ plays more than expected.
2: Jeff also mentioned this (damn him), but the Angels OF defense takes a hit when comparing these new Statcast metrics to UZR/DRS. Mike Trout goes to just below average, while Kole Kalhoun goes from unheralded defensive star to solidly below average in both years. No point to this, just some Statcast schadenfreude.
3: One hypothesis I've had is that fly ball staffs (and the M's have been one under Jerry Dipoto) might produce easier balls in play. That is, that Marco Estrada, for example, gives up a lot of home runs (which aren't in play) on well-struck balls, but then a lot of pop-ups on poorly-struck balls, producing a consistently-low BABIP. These buckets exclude pop-ups, I think, so there's no real way to tell. The M's don't look like they saw MORE "easy" chances, but then, we're not seeing the easiest of the easy. It might help to compare the total opportunities in Statcast versus total chances in BBREF and see what proportion of total chances are ranked in Statcast. My assumption would be that a higher percentage of Statcasted-balls would mean a more difficult group of balls in play. Someone (not me) should do that.
4: It's really interesting to see how bad fielders drop off precipitously around 2-3 stars. Matt Kemp can't make any plays in the 3-4 range, and neither can Trumbo or Cruz. Like you'd expect, they're perfectly capable of making the easiest plays, and they're not penalized too harshly for not making highlight-reel catches. But their plays made just fall off a cliff once the expected catch rate gets to 50% or so.
]]>A further objection might be: "Spring Training is a biased sample of the organization as a whole, because the team might only let certain prospects into games." This is valid, of course, and a decent reason why the stats might not represent the org's "true talent" for, say, K:BB ratio, but it's also the mechanism by which the organization reinforces the importance they place on certain skills.
I grabbed some batting/pitching team stats from MLB.com and calculated walk rates, K rates and ratios for batting and pitching. The M's currently lead the league in OPS/Average etc., but a key to their success has been a very high ratio of walks to strikeouts. Their walk rate of 10.3% ranks 7th, while their K rate is 3rd lowest – this produces a K:BB ratio of 0.62, a ways behind the Angels' leading mark of 0.76, but 2nd in baseball. The M's z scores (standard deviations from the league mean) are about 1.5 for each stat: walk rate, K rate and ratio.
How about pitching? The M's as a team have produced a league-average K rate, but they've been remarkably stingy with walks; their BB rate is over 2 standard deviations from the league average of 8.9%. This drives a K:BB ratio* of 3.59, 2nd behind only Tampa's 3.63. The Rays BB rate is solid, but their team K rate drives their ratio, as their 25%+ rate easily leads the league, while the M's have the 2nd lowest walk rate, just a fraction behind Baltimore's 5.50% mark.
The M's thus rank 2nd in both hitting and pitching walk/K ratios, which is pretty remarkable. The Angels were #1 in batting, but tumble to 25th on the mound. The Rays are even worse, ranking *29th* on offense. It's kind of a meaningless calculation, but if you sum the batting/pitching ranks for K:BB (and BB:K), the M's mark of 4 is the only one in single digits. Baltimore and Pittsburgh are tied for 2nd at 13. So what does this mean? That the M's are stacking the deck by giving innings to command/control prospects like Andrew Moore instead of high-risk/high-reward guys like…uh, Luiz Gohara? Sure, that's a huge factor. But it's a sign that the M's development overhaul seems to be pretty effective. K:BB ratio is important, but it's not the only thing, of course. It IS, however, something that seems both teachable (to an extent) and easy to identify and select for.
In case you're wondering the M's were pretty good on the pitching side of the ledger last year, posting a 2.95 K:BB ratio that was in the top half of the league, but weren't spectacular offensively, with a ratio of just 0.42. Some of last year's worst offenders have moved on (Franklin Gutierrez, for one), but a big part of the improvement has come from returning players like Leonys Martin and Nelson Cruz. Will any of this carry over? These stats are among the quickest to "stabilize," meaning that they indicate something about true talent in smaller samples, but I'm not sure how much signal we have at this point. Still, it's an encouraging sign, and something that'd give the club a bigger margin for error in the regular season.
I was going to write this yesterday, and the M's ratios took a hit thanks to the Cubs' pitching staff, but well done by the M's minor leaguers to come back and get a late win. Today's game's on TV, so tune in and watch the M's attempt to maintain strict control of their zone. Or something.

]]>As you know, the WBC is underway, with Seoul and Tokyo hosting several games already,* and with other teams getting ready by playing MLB clubs in spring training. The M's are losing quite a few players to the event, as we talked about the other day. Robinson Cano's batting 2nd, Nelson Cruz 5th, and Jean Segura 7th for the Dominican against Pittsburgh today, for example. Edwin Diaz is in Puerto Rico's bullpen as they face San Francisco, and Felix will be with Team Venezuela.
Drew Smyly will join Team USA later, but for now, he's looked pretty sharp for Seattle. He's coming off his worst year, and it's nice to see his velocity already at or a bit higher than it was last April. He's clearly working on his cutter, too – he threw more of them than he did his primary breaking ball, his weird non-curving curve. I'd kind of prefer he just ditched the pitch entirely, but I suppose improving it works, too.
Smyly's kind of an anomaly in that so much of the contact against him comes as fly balls. Among all starting pitchers last year, no one had a higher average launch angle against than Smyly. No M's starter is anywhere close to Smyly in that regard, but then, no Mariner starter is close to him in average exit velocity either. Smyly yielded the weakest contact – on average – of anyone the M's might use as a starter this year (the highest? James Paxton, who actually had the *lowest* launch angle). Smyly is walking the tightrope by throwing rising fastballs up in the zone, and getting plenty of pop-ups and lazy fly balls (and whiffs, of course), but also yielding the occasional long ball. Again, a big part of the problem in recent years has been his secondary or tertiary pitches, which have been annihilated. This is not to say that he needs to try to get grounders with his cutter. Several relievers have made their living by yielding fly ball contact/avoiding grounders, even with breaking balls: ex-Mariner Shawn Kelley's turned himself into a minor star with this approach. Steve Cishek, too, has a slider that batters get under pretty frequently, which may explain some of his volatility (a tiny change in break may make the difference between a texas leaguer and a long home run). Kenley Jansen generally only throws one pitch, but it's all but impossible to hit on the ground. Smyly's approach works for Justin Verlander, as well; the Tigers ace has cut his GB rate by almost 10 percentage points in the past 3-4 years, and recovered his old effectiveness at the same time.
Tonight, the non-WBC M's take on Cleveland and Carlos Carrasco. Carrasco put together a solid year for Cleveland, but missed time with a fractured hand suffered just before the Indians' playoff run. The righty's late emergence as a frontline starter roughly 7-8 years after being tabbed a top prospect has been a great story, and he's maintained his effectiveness now for 2.5-3 seasons. That said, last year saw his HR rise for the 2nd straight year, and lefties started to hit him a bit harder than before. Lefties had destroyed Carrasco early in his career, one of the major reasons he seemed destined to become a busted prospect. But a trip to the pen and some improved command made Carrasco deadly to righties and lefties alike. From 2014-2015, lefties hit just .205 off of him, with just 35 extra-base hits. Last season, though, lefties slugged 11 HRs and 28 XBHs on their way to a .441 SLG%. Something for Indians fans to watch for/worry about.
The game starts at 6:10pm, Seattle time, and will be televised on Root Sports.

]]>Felix Hernandez
Felix comes into 2017 in great shape after re-dedicating himself to offseason fitness and strength training. He was pretty clearly unhappy with his declining stuff, and to his credit, took it upon himself to regain a tick or two on his sinker and fastball. A year ago, Felix was throwing about 91 MPH during the spring, which is in line with what he'd do the rest of the way. Thus far in 2017, it looks like his velocity may have crept up slightly. He averaged 92 with his sinker the other day, and he touched 93 several times…something he didn't do at all last spring. That's not a huge improvement, but anything other than continued velocity decline would be pretty welcome news. It may not mean anything, but his change has not had an equivalent gain, meaning there's a bit more separation between fastball and offspeed. Felix hasn't really needed that separation, and it given the sample, it may be nothing, but it's something to watch for as we wait for meaningful games to start.
Thyago Vieira
Vieira's incredible velocity was the story of the Arizona Fall League, and the imposing Brazilian gets regular coverage in Ryan Divish's twitter feed and game stories. He routinely exceeded 100 MPH in Arizona, and posted decent control numbers during the 2016 minor league season. That sounded like a great combination, and one that could catapult the 23 year old to the majors at some point this year. At this point, his average velocity's down a tick or two from the Fall League, though his peak velocity shows he's still more than capable of 100-101. The problem's been his control, and Divish noted in his first appearance that he eased up on his fastball in order to find the zone. Vieira pitched again this weekend, and had even more trouble trying to locate his pitches. Just 12 of his 25 fastballs were strikes, with the majority of his misses clustering towards the right-handed batters box. Plenty of pitchers have command lapses in early March, so it's not yet a huge red flag, but given the control issues that have plagued his tenure in the M's system (at least until last year), it's something to watch. On the plus side, it's nice that Vieira can dial his fastball back and STILL sit in the upper 90s. (Kate Preusser has a great profile of him today at Fangraphs, incidentally.)
Chris Heston
I mentioned in the game preview before his first appearance that it'd be great to see him touching 90 instead of the 88 he was at in his first MLB action since TJ surgery last year. In that start, he was still firmly in the 88-89 range, but he looked much better over the weekend, touching 91 and averaging just under 90. Obviously, velocity's not a huge part of Heston's game, but here his velocity is more a measure of his overall arm strength. Heston was a decent big league starter before his injury, and while his upside isn't that high, it's not bad for a potential 5th-6th-7th starter. Given that the injury risk in the rotation is always high, and probably higher still for the M's, depth like Heston is critical. If he can build on the velocity he showed the other day, he's got a decent chance to add some value. It's not all the way back to pre-injury levels yet, but at least the trend's going in the right direction.
James Paxton
Ok, ok, when I said spring velocity numbers weren't totally useless…that doesn't apply to James Paxton. Perhaps no pitcher in recent memory's had such a varied record in terms of his velocity. The fact that he's had so many nagging injuries probably has something to do with it, but it's not the only thing. In early March of 2013, he averaged 91 MPH on his fastball, before getting a September call-up that year on the strength of his 95-96 MPH heater. He sat about 95 the following spring, and bumped that up to 96 in April before a long, injury-necessitated layoff. His velo was fairly stable until April of 2015, when it briefly dipped a bit to just under 94, but he was back on track before another injury took several more months from him. Last spring, he was down noticeably, averaging 92 or so- he'd show flashes of 95 MPH velo, but wasn't able to sustain it, and thus lost his bid for a rotation spot to Nate Karns and headed to Tacoma instead. You know what happened then – he touched 100 in his first game back for Seattle and averaged 98, and while his velocity dimmed a bit towards the end of the year, he sustained the highest velocity of his career for half a season. Given all of that, I was very interested to see where he was this spring, even if we've just demonstrated that Paxton's spring velo bears surprisingly little relationship to his regular season numbers. This Saturday, Paxton averaged 95, with his fastest pitch registering 97. That's clearly down from where he left off, but we'll see if he improves over the course of the spring or if he again does something completely different during the season. I'll admit that, despite its lack of predictive power, it would make me feel a lot more confident in the M's rotation to see Paxton sitting 97 in a game this spring.
Ok, there's still a game today, and maybe we'll see how Drew Smyly's velocity looks.

Good to see Iwakuma take the mound, as he's going to be critical to the M's playoff chances this year. After an injury-plagued 2015 and his worst MLB season last year, Iwakuma's kind of at a crossroads. If he bounces back to his career averages, he gives the M's an excellent mid-rotation starter and allows the M's starting pitching depth to be deployed to back up Yovani Gallardo or whoever gets hurt. If Iwakuma's ineffective or hurt AND Gallardo struggles, the M's are in trouble. He'll turn 36 shortly and his X-rays looked scary enough that he's had two contract offers rescinded, but it's impossible not to root for the guy. A mild rebound – which is essentially what the projections systems have him down for – is a huge help: a slightly above-average starter who's durable enough to soak up a lot of innings.
Texas starter Tyler Wagner's bounced between the Brewers, D-Backs and now Rangers in his brief career. He moved from Milwaukee to Arizona alongside new M's shortstop Jean Segura actually, in a package for Chase Anderson/Aaron Hill/SS prospect Isan Diaz a bit more than a year ago. If you've been reading the minor league recaps, you'll recall I've actually mentioned Wagner a few times – which is strange for a low-round draft pick without much in the way of raw stuff. Still, Wagner opened enough eyes in AA in 2015 that he got a cup of coffee with the big club, and he was seen as polished enough to be a part of a big trade just before the 2016 system. Back in 2015, I called him a sinkerballer, but BrooksBaseball calls his fastball a four-seamer…albeit one that has a lot of sink. He throws a slurve at 79 that's got a fair amount of spin, and he's had some success with a straight change that doesn't look like it should be effective, but has been thus far. An interesting pitch for him is a hard cutter – it's thrown at 90mph, essentially as fast as his four-seam FB, which averages 90-91. The cutter has similar vertical movement, but half a foot or more less armside run. It looks and acts like a fastball, so Wagner uses it accordingly: in his very brief MLB career, he's thrown about 35% four-seamers and 30% cutters. He's not a big strikeout guy at all, and his minor league walk rates aren't anything special, so if he's going to succeed, it's going to be by keeping the ball on the ground.

Should get a look at more of the NRI relievers the M's picked up this offseason, like Christian Bergman and Ryan Weber, today.
Sounds like Andrew Moore and Chase de Jong will pitch in a split-squad game on Sunday vs. the Dodgers. Moore gets the start in that one, while Felix starts the other game. That one's important because it'll be the first M's game to get televised. It'll be on Root Sports.
]]>Lefty Ariel Miranda was sharp in the M's first game of the spring, but the list of guys he's competing with keeps growing. The arrival of Chase de Jong (who may play in a split squad game this weekend) means the M's now have even more options for rotation depth. Of course, most of those options are right handed, so Miranda's got an edge, but even that's a double-edged sword. Given the M's interest in having lefty options in the pen, Miranda might get more of a look as a swingman/lefty reliever.
The M's face the suddenly intriguing Milwaukee Brewers, who've been remaking their team quickly and effectively over the past year under new GM David Stearns. Today they'll face long-time right-handed dude bro Matt Garza, who's struggled mightily over the past two seasons with the Brewers. At his peak, he was successful against righties and lefties alike, with a curve and slider that were equal-opportunity weapons. Ultimately, though, his success was predicated on fastball command, as his four-seam and sinker mix drove his production. In 2014, his sinker in particular was difficult to elevate, and he was great (when healthy). Since then, though, his fastball's been hit harder, and his breaking balls have been less effective against…righties.
A slight downturn in results by various pitch types is normal for a pitcher who's now 33 years old, and his fastball results still haven't been THAT bad. Instead, what's killed him recently is an absolutely abysmal strand rate. Even in 2014, was devilishly low at 66.6%, and it's only dropped further since. He finished 2016 with a 63.3% mark, which ranked 139th out of 142 pitchers to throw 100 IP. Of the 132 pitchers who've thrown at least 300 IP since 2014, Garza's 65.3% average ranks dead last.

The M's will soon see an exodus from training camp, as Jean Segura will join Robinson Cano and Nelson Cruz on the Dominican World Baseball Classic roster, while Tyler O'Neill will suit up for Team Canada and King Felix for Venezuela. In all, 12 players have some sort of commitment to the WBC, with Drew Smyly joining Team USA in the 2nd round. The complete list is here. Of the M's top 10 projected players by WAR, 6 (Felix, Segura, Cano, Cruz, Smyly and Edwin Diaz) will play in the WBC.
The Brewers line up features ex-Mariner and ex-Korean League MVP Eric Thames, who's trying to prove his utter destruction of the KBO wasn't a fluke. His signing was a great, low-risk, potentially high-reward move by the Brewers. Today's starters also include top prospects Lewis Brinson and Oswaldo Arcia, along with Brett Phillips. Phillips was a rising star in the Astros system before moving over with Josh Hader in the Carlos Gomez deal (man, did THAT work out for Milwaukee). He had a great pure hit tool, with K rates solidly under 20% up the chain for Houston, but starting striking out a ton as soon as he got to the Brewers. After a down year last year (ameliorated a bit by a great walk rate), he's looking to prove he's still a candidate for a promotion this year.
]]>de Jong's a command guy with fastball in the low-90s/high-80s, but he spots it well and has a change-up along with a hard slider/cutter and slurve. After a solid but unspectacular 2015 campaign in the Midwest League and California League, de Jong broke out with a great year for AA Tulsa, winning the Texas League Pitcher of the Year award. With his lanky frame (he's 6'4″), plus pitchability and no big signature pitch, he kind of reminds me of Ryan Yarbrough, the ex-M's prospect who won a *different* AA league's Pitcher of the Year award last year, and went to Tampa in the Drew Smyly deal. Yarbrough was a bit better overall, and may have a touch more stuff at this point, but de Jong's considerably younger.
In return, the headliner heading to LA is SS Drew Jackson, whom the M's drafted out of Stanford a few years back. He was always a glove-first player and had an arm scouts graded plus to plus-plus, but surprised everyone with his bat early on. He was named the NWL's MVP in 2015 and won a batting title, while showing blazing speed on the basepaths. He struggled a bit in 2016, though, showing almost no power (even in the California League) and showing a big decline in his stolen base rate. There's still some potential there, but a guy without power AND without elite contact skills (he struck out over 100 times) is not an elite prospect. He ranked 10th in BP's Mariners list, but the M's themselves ranked 26th in MLB for the quality of their farm system. The Dodgers ranked 7th, so it's not a big knock on de Jong that he didn't crack the top 10. MLB Pipeline had de Jong as the Dodger's 16th-best prospect, and have him 15th in Seattle's system.
Aneurys Zabala is a Dominican reliever with a live arm but serious control issues who made some big strides last year in the Arizona League. While that's encouraging and all, and he cracked the back end of the M's top 30 list, this does not seem like a huge loss.
de Jong's probably going to start 2017 in Tacoma's rotation, and he joins the heated battle to earn a call-up during the year. Overall, this is a solid move, as the M's hope they don't need as much SS depth after acquiring Jean Segura. They're probably hoping, though, that things go better than the last time these two clubs made a move like this. The M's moved Chris Taylor for close-to-the-majors starter Zach Lee, and watched as Taylor got a look in the majors while Lee imploded in the PCL. Obviously, prior results are no guarantee of future performance, and frankly, I'm glad the M's replaced some of the high-minors pitching depth they lost in the Smyly and Pazos trades.
]]>The M's newest starting pitcher, and the pitching acquisition with by far the most upside, takes the mound today. The former Tampa Bay Ray throws a four-seam fastball in the low 90s with a hard "curve" that's been his best pitch. His third pitch is a cutter that he'll throw to lefties and righties alike, but it's never worked all that well. Batters have had more success on the cutter than any other pitch over the course of his career, and as his HR rate has soared in recent years, the cutter's been a key source of the problem. Last year, batters slugged .636 on the offering, and in his abbreviated 2015, they slugged .714. It was actually a good pitch for him going back to his days with the Tigers, so something's going on with it. Its movement was distinctly un-cutter-like last year, and it sort of blended in to his fastball. That said, its degree of actual cut and sink has ebbed and flowed throughout the years, so there's nothing convincing in the pure movement data. Still, if I'm the M's coaching staff, improving that pitch (or replacing it with a different one) would be my first priority. Perhaps as an alternative, Smyly's made more use of his change-up in recent years, but that's been no better: batters have slugged .836 off of it in his career (though he's only thrown 340 of them).
I put curve in quotes up above, because Smyly's curve really is an odd duck. It doesn't… it doesn't curve, see. For a guy throwing from a very over-the-top arm slot, we wouldn't expect a ton of horizontal movement. But ALL of Smyly's horizontal movement is arm side. You know, the OPPOSITE way a breaking ball is supposed to break. This means that Smyly throws the pitch like a curve, with curveball velocity, but that it works like a change-up or splitter. A slow-splitter. Eno Sarris worked with Driveline Baseball to essentially "invent" what he called a reverse curveball, or a slow breaking ball with armside break. Well, Drew Smyly already throws it.
I think I've written way too much about Trevor Bauer as it is and have no desire to add to it here.
The line up:
1: Martin, CF
2: Valencia, 1B
3: Cano, 2B
4: Seager, 3B
5: Zunino, C
6: Vogelbach, DH
7: Gamel, RF
8: Smith, SS
9: Powell, LF
SP: Drew Smyly
Also pitching today for the M's are Edwin Diaz, newly acquired pitching prospect Max Povse, and fireballing relief prospect Thyago Vieira.
Hey, a Boog Powell sighting! The ex-Ray seemed like a big part of the Brad Miller/Nate Karns swap, but a 2nd PED violation means we haven't seen a whole lot of him.

Adidas Originals
Formally established by Adi Dassler in 1949, Adidas began as a tiny shoe manufacturer, run from the Bavarian wash kitchen of Dressler's mother. By 1936, Dassler had succeeded in outfitting his first athlete, American Jesse Owens, who would go on to win four gold medals in the Olympics in Berlin that year. In 1954, Dassler scored his second major coup, shoeing the World Cup-winning West German team. The publicity was invaluable, and the business prospered. Over the next decades, Dassler's business would grow to become a global megabrand, launching iconic footwear like the "Stan Smith" sneaker and collaborating with everyone from Stella McCartney and Yohji Yamamoto to Pharell and Kanye West.

text: Acid-resistant brick can protect concrete floors from industrial chemicals. Brinks, a Louisiana refractory contractor, has been installing acid-resistant bricks in chemical plants for 20 years. This article describes how Brinks, in 1994, installed a red-shale acid-brick floor over an asphaltic membrane applied to the concrete substrate. The hot-applied asphaltic membrane was reinforced with an asphalt-impregnated glass-fiber mat. The acid brick stops most chemicals and protects the asphaltic membrane from physical damage, abrasion, and extreme temperature. But if chemicals do penetrate the brick flooring, the asphaltic membrane keeps them from reaching the concrete substrate. The type of acid brick and chemical-resistant mortar that's needed depends on the chemicals and temperatures to which the floor will be exposed. Polyester mortars, for example, resist bleaches, hydrogen peroxide, dilute sodium hypochlorite, oxidizing and nonoxidizing acids, weak alkalies, salts, and chlorine gas at temperatures up to 225 degrees F. Phenolics, on the other hand, resist solvents, oils, greases, high concentrations of nonoxidizing acids, and mild alkaline solutions but not strong alkalies. The article contains a sidebar that describes chemical-resistant mortars in detail. The article also describes how to attain good workmanship when laying acid brick: Butter the bottom of the brick or butter the floor first with a 1/8-inch bed of mud. The bed joint is important in creating a level base for the brick. Neither the subfloor nor the brick are ever perfectly level. Without the bed joint, the brick can move or wobble, maybe even crack. Excess mortar that oozes from the joints should be removed immediately with a trowel (or later with a chisel or paint scraper). Brinks typically buys brick with a waxed top surface that helps keep the brick from getting stained. After the job is done and the mortar has cured (for 3 to 7 days at 70 degrees F), a 60-psi wet steam hose is used to melt away the wax. Waxing adds 4 cents to 5 cents to the cost of each brick.

- Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to Deliver Another $10B Taper.
- Fed Chair Janet Yellen to Hold Press Conference at 18:30 GMT.
Trading the News: Federal Open Market Committee Meeting
Indeed, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is widely anticipated to reduce its asset-purchase by another $10B in March, but the market reaction may not be as clear cut as the previous rate decisions as market participants expect a material shift in the policy outlook.
What's Expected:
Click Here for the Full Economic Calendar
Why Is This Event Important:
Indeed, a growing number of Fed officials have highlight a new 'qualitative' approach for monetary as the jobless rate approaches the 6.5% threshold for unemployment, while a dovish twist to the central bank's forward guidance may heighten the bearish sentiment surrounding the greenback as it drags on interest rate expectations.
Expectations: Bullish Argument/Scenario

0.2% |
0.3% |
Change in Non-Farm Payrolls (FEB) |
Personal Spending (JAN) |

0.3% |
The Fed may show a greater willingness to normalize monetary policy sooner rather than later amid the resilience in private sector consumption along with the ongoing improvement in the labor market, and a less-dovish policy statement may spur a marked rebound in the dollar as the fundamental outlook for the U.S. economy improves.
Risk: Bearish Argument/Scenario

0.9% |
However, the threat for disinflation may encourage Chair Janet Yellen to retain the zero-interest rate policy for an extended period of time, and the reserve currency may face further headwinds over the near-term should the central bank see the recent slowdown in economic activity carry beyond the winter months.

January 2014 Federal Open Market Committee Interest Rate Decision
As expected, the Federal Reserve reduced its asset purchase program by $10B in January leaving the total monthly purchase total to $65B per month. Although we did not have a February FOMC meeting, plenty of Fed rhetoric that included Yellen's testimony on capitol hill all but confirmed we will see another taper at the March meeting. As has been stated by one FOMC member after another, excluding any major financial disruption it is likely that we will continue to see a $10B taper per month with the QE3 program coming to an end by the end of the fourth 2014 quarter. Yellen's first presser at 18:30GMT as Fed chair could provide market participants with insight in regards to policy moving forward in 2014.

Would You Friend a Woman On Facebook Just Because She's Hot?
This morning's trivia question stemmed from a recent survey -- 58 percent of guys have friended a woman on Facebook just because she was hot.
This morning's trivia question stemmed from a recent survey -- 58 percent of guys have friended a woman on Facebook just because she was hot.
I never thought I would hear this, but a recent survey has found that ... wait for it ... women love to do certain household chores!
Growing up, I was forced to eat things that now, as an adult, I can't stand -- and no amount of money could get me to eat them! Top of the list:
It's well-known that Cefus loves the ladies, especially if they are blond. Rik mentioned brunettes and then referenced redheads as "gingers" this morning on air...
Watershed 2015 has come and gone. The difference this year? I wasn't a first-time Shedder!
When you attend Watershed for the first time something happens to you ... it gets in your soul!
A JCPenney's employee was sent home for violating the dress code with shorts she bought from her very own employer.
Sylva Stoel, a 17-year-old from Sioux Falls, S.D., quit her job last week when she was told to go home and change.
Sylva wore red shorts with a blue sleeveless button-down shirt which the store marketed as appropriate for work.
Country cutie Raelynn offered up a make-up trick that she learned as a kid while performing in theater productions: Spray hairspray all over your face to keep your make-up in place...
Brett Eldridge tweeted this: "Bout to go out west! Gonna sing songs, go fishing, climb mountains and eat trail mix sandwiches."
He'll be in Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming and California ... every western state except ours! Grrr!
This morning The Morning Bull Pen interviewed Matt Thomas from the group Parmalee, which will be at the Watershed Music Festival in the Gorge Amphitheatre next weekend and at the Central Washington State Fair on Sept. 25.
I wanted to spice up the interview and play a little game with Matt.
We played "60 seconds" with Paramlee. I asked rapid fire questions with quick answers from Matt.
If you missed it ... take a listen:
I received a tweet last night from my son Mathew saying, "I was interviewed by King 5 today. I'll be on the news tonight. I think I did ok."
Mathew -- who just graduated from high school in June -- is working at the University of Washington on a summer research project. He works in the lab at the University of Washington Clean Energy Institute helping to develop cheaper solar technology.
I can't say that I've actually done this, but 1 in 10 women have called in sick because they were having a bad hair day. I'm definitely a hair and makeup kinda girl. And there are days when my hair has a mind of its own, but I certainly don't let it keep me from living life.
Do your kids get a weekly allowance? If so, how much?
A new study by American Express Spending and Saving Tracker finds that 79 percent of parents give their school-aged kids $35 a week!
