Around SBN: Jeff Sullivan's MLB Trade Deadline Primer

GameThread: Orioles @ Yankees, 1:05 p.m.

The weather report in Tampa isn't calling for rain so we won't have a rerun of yesterday. The pitching match up for today is Jeremy Guthrie vs. Javier Vazquez. This is Guthrie's third start of the spring. Last Sunday vs the Red Sox he pitched 2.1 innings, allowing 1 run on 3 hits and 2 walks. Vazquez has pitched only once to date, 2 IP vs the Phillies. He allowed just one hit, a HR to Jimmy Rollins, and struck out four.

Here are your lineups, courtesy of Britt Ghiroli:

Baltimore Orioles New York Yankees
Adam Jones - CF Brett Gardner - CF
Cesar Izturis - SS Nick Johnson - DH
Nick Markakis - RF Jorge Posada - C
Miguel Tejada - 3B Robinson Cano - 2B
Matt Wieters - C Curtis Granderson - LF
Garrett Atkins - 1B Randy Winn - RF
Ty Wigginton - 2B Juan Miranda - 1B
Lou Montanez - LF Brandon Laird - 3B
Michael Aubrey - DH Ramiro Pena - SS

 

If you're in the New York area you can watch this game on WWOR or listen on WCBS-880. If you're not, those options are both available on mlb.tv and Gameday Audio.

Let's Go O's!

The Spring of a Thousand Horrifying Lineups continues!

This is my least favorite because it seems like something we will really have to endure if Roberts is out (minus Lou and New Aubrey of course). At least Atkins is 6th, where he fucking belongs (well, he belongs at 8th, but close enough).

We already know all about Cesar Izturis’ bat, which blows chunks. The fact that Trembley never had the guy hitting in the two hole put down a sac bunt in all of 2009 makes this particularly headscratching, but how about this: when Cesar started a game and hit second, the Orioles averaged 4.07 runs scored, compared to 4.68 when Cesar didn’t hit second. Yes, sample sizes, but come on – it’s not like the Orioles were even close to playing better with Izturis up there. I DONT GET IT.

Other issues: Tejada in the four hole, Jones batting lead-off.

very positive on the Orioles. It’s downright weird to hear multiple out of town announcers talk about how good the Orioles are poised to be. It almost makes me want to tell them all to shut up because I don’t want anything to go wrong.

I've been a little concerned about Nick

this spring, not in terms of statistics (and really, I’m not REALLY concerned, just a little bit) that he doesn’t seem to be the good version of plate discipline Nick from 2008. Even that single was a ball up around the shoulders that he could have taken. Not that I’m complaining (or particularly worried – it’s only Spring Training).

Word from Sterling is

So the top four pitchers are Millwood, Guthrie, Matusz, and Tillman with a bunch of youngsters fighting for the fifth spot.

Oh? Any idea who has the inside track?

Maybe Koji or Hendrickson? Or are they pondering bringing in Jarrod Washburn?

Waldman mentioned Bergesen and Sterling said, “Yeah I think he’s in the mix for the 5th spot. They’re going to have a LOT of guys in that spot this year I’m sure.”

I love Nick Johnson

A couple of years ago when he was on the Nats I got great seats from a friend — about 20 rows back, right behind home plate. Nick came around to score on a double or something, and I noticed his foot slip a little bit on home plate, and I joked that he probably hurt himself. He missed the rest of the season.

the game last night was both the most frustrating, worst, best, and most uplifting and exciting game at various points. Ultimately frustrating I suppose, but it was good tv.

No, he's not

He’s a passionate player who gives his body and every ounce of energy to win for a coach he adores whil enduring some of the worst xenophobic and profane-laden abuse ever offered at an ACC player. If you can’t see that, you’re loss, man. I love that kid. I’d love to see Gary recruit 50 more just like him. Shimmy and all.

he doesnt play any defense which showed last nite

and he deserves some of that abuse. when you get so full of yourself, sometimes you need a little shot.

So, he deserves signs that say "DEPORT VASQUEZ"

because he doesn’t man up on D enough? Interesting theory there.

I disagree totally

and while I went to UMd and we certainly did our fair share of jeering, we never attacked anyone’s nationality or ethnic heritage.JR Reid’s haircut and perceived literacy? Sure. His parents? Never.

Still trying to figure out
but he is severely overrated and deserves any "abuse" to that effect.

You say you agree with me, after you say this. Well, just about every jeer or taunt I’ve heard by ACC fans has been directed at his nationality, not his game. So which is it?

He's also fond of jacking up ill-advised 3 point shots

But I realize you have to take the bad with the good for Vasquez. I like everybody who plays for Maryland because they play for Maryland. Even when they frustrate me.

I hope we can get into the Sweet 16 this year.
