The Official Brewerfan Winter Ball Thread - Latest: Cruz

Al, I will concede that yours would be my second choice. I think mine has a more genuine smile and bigger "chest muscles".

Rotoworld:

 

Wayne Franklin struck out seven in 5 2/3 scoreless innings for Magallanes of the Venezuelan Winter League yesterday.

 

Even though he threw 194 2/3 innings for the Brewers last season, Franklin decided to pitch this winter and has allowed one run in 10 2/3 innings in his first two starts. The left-hander's poor finish in 2003 (0-3, 7.99 ERA in September) should mean that he won't be guaranteed a spot in Milwaukee's rotation in 2004.

It's likely as noted in the Transaction thread that infielder Matt Erickson, coming off a pretty incredible season with AAA Albuquerque (Marlins), has signed with the Brewers in a deal yet to be formally announced.

 

Am I missing something here? This sounds too good to be true. Why is nobody else talking about this? We signed a 3B with a +900 OBS in AAA last year who is from Wisconsin.

 

What is his future with the club? Is he strictly a 3B or could he move to RF? Does anyone know the equation that predicts MLB stats from AAA stats? Where would he fit on the Power 50?

 

Am I getting too excited about this?http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eek.gif

Perhaps emotionally fired-up about his Brewer signing, OF Jon Nunnally is having a kick-butt winter season in Mexico...

Nunnally with an .888 OPS after 49 games:

Nunnally is sixth in league batting, 4th in OBP, 5th in SLG.

 

Despite taking the loss in today's box score, RHP Francisco Campos leads the league in ERA, IP, and wins, and is 2nd in K's.

While RHP Jason Childers is plugging away in Puerto Rico, there's every indication that Mike Adams has wrapped things up there -- hopefully, by choice and not by injury, as Mike appeared in ten of his team's first 20 games, but has not pitched in a couple of weeks. Also, it seems Matt Childers remains state-side as well.

Erickson stories

 

I am stoked if this signing does come about. He sounds like a really good guy and a big fan of Wisconsin indeed. I dont want to get too off topic (Winter Ball)...but the name appeared and I remember reading a "tip off" that he was going to sign with Milwaukee from a sperate board.

Miscellaneous updates:

 

LHP Wayne Franklin made his third Venezuelan League start; four scoreless innings to begin, but then a blow-up in the 5th -- final line: 4.1 IP, 5 H, 0 BB, 4 K, 5 R, 3 ER. Still, in 15 IP, his K/BB ratio is 15-to-1, and his ERA is 2.40.

 

RHP Pedro Liriano after nine brief Dominican League appearances: 8.2 IP, 9.34 ERA, 12 H, 6 BB, 6 K

 

RHP Leo Estrella also ineffective in six Dominican appearances: 5 IP, 9 H, 8 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 4 K.

 

IF Enrique Cruz hasn't appeared in a Dominican game in a few weeks -- stuck at 22 AB's.

[lend d money]

Can we give some props to Matt Parker?? The guy just needs to be given a role and allowed to stay with it in order to shine. They keep bouncing him from starter and the pen because (a) he has the durability and (b) unlike a lot of athletes, he accepts his swing role and doesn't pout about it. However, it is somewhat a shame he isn't given the same opportunity as other prospects. He was an SL All-Star and has proven himself as a solid contributor at every level to date. He could really use for Hendrickson and Martinez to make the big club some time in 2004 to open some spots in Indy.

[MassBrew]

It's funny you mention Matt Parker -- noticed on the home page he turns 25 today. I contended last June in the thread linked below that the only Brewer organization starter to handle High Desert conditions better than Parker was Ben Hendrickson. I've been thinking with the recent pitcher projections that this has to be the year that Matt and Ryan Miller are rewarded with time in AAA Indy to start the season. Those two have been organizational soldiers who have also put up much better than decent numbers, Parker since his acquisition in the Vina trade -- it'd be pretty unfair to see either back in Huntsville in 2004.

I just spoke to Matt Childers on the phone and he is not in Puerto Rico. He is not planning on going back. They must be mixing him up with someone else.

[lend d money]

I am actually glad Matt stayed back. There comes a point in time where family is more important. One of my fondest memories of last year's trip to Huntsville was when his son yelled "Daddy!" from the stands as Matt was taking the mound. If you were there, you couldn't help but smile. Matt is a good person and an equally good father.

LHP Wayne Franklin's fourth Venezuelan League start was his first dud:

 

2.2 IP, 5 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 2 doubles allowed, 1 HR allowed

 

If you're a fan of Spanish box scores, see what Franklin's line looked like here:

In Mexico, you can only hope to control OF Jon Nunnally, because you can't stop him -- HR # 11, among the league leaders:

Nearly all the Brewers this thread has referred to (Coste, Nunnally, etc.) have called it a winter. RHP Matt Parker has stuck it out right through the Christmas holiday in Puerto Rico.

From your post of 12/17...

 

Is that A.Lorraine the Andrew Lorraine who was once with the Indianapolis Indians in `01 or `02?

"Is that A.Lorraine the Andrew Lorraine who was once with the Indianapolis Indians in `01 or `02?"

 

Yes it's the same Andrew Lorraine that pitched 25 games with Indy and 5 games with Milwaukee in 2002.

FYI -- Play ended on the 30th for the Venezuelan, Puerto Rican, and Mexican Leagues, wrapping up the updates on players like Jon Nunnally (Mexico), Matt Parker (Puerto Rico), Wayne Franklin (Venezuela), etc.

 

While action continues a bit in the Dominican, the nature of that league's play, particularly with pitchers (Luis Martinez has thrown 8.2 IP over seven appearances, for instance) make D.R. updates fairly inconsequential.

The Brewers' site article on Enrique Cruz:

 

brewers.mlb.com/NASApp/ml...;fext=.jsp

 

More Enrique Cruz from ESPN's Jayson Stark:

 

There's a classic Bill James stat known as Offensive Winning Percentage, which estimates what kind of record a team of nine Joe Carters (or nine of anyone else) would have.

 

Here's the top 10 since division play began in 1969:

 

1. Barry Bonds .804 2. Frank Thomas .754 3. Mark McGwire .737 4. Manny Ramirez .730 5. Edgar Martinez .726 6. Jason Giambi .725 7. Jim Thome .723 8. Willie Stargell .719 9. Jeff Bagwell .714 10. Mike Piazza .704

 

One final note on Offensive Winning Percentage, even though it has nothing to do with the Hall of Fame. Lee Sinins reports that Brewers rookie Enrique Cruz just finished a season in which his Offensive Winning Percentage was so small, you need the Hubble Telescope just to see it. It computed to .009, meaning a team of nine Enrique Cruzes would have gone 1-161.

 

Among players who had 75 plate appearances in a season since 1900, only two have had a lower OWP than that, and just one other player has ever equaled it:

 

Jerry Buchek, 1961 Cardinals - .005

Ed Connolly, 1931 Red Sox - .006

Enrique Cruz, 2003 Brewers - .009

Chuck Scrivener, 1977 Tigers - .009

[igor67]

Stupid stats are meaningless I say! the fact that a team of Enrique Cruz's is predicted to get a single victory obviously fails because it assumes that somehow the Brewers could find a pitcher or two to throw a shutout!

http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/roll.gif

 

On the other hand it's a nice way of putting his ineptitude in perspective.

Cruz will earn $125,000 next season at Triple-A Indianapolis.

Is this just speculation by the writer? I can't see him in AAA next year. He'd probably even struggle at AA.
