Interesting tidbit from Baseball Prosectus last Thursday
There are many who have wondered why the Padres front office deemed it necessary to turn Chase Headley, a third baseman in the minor leagues, into a corner outfielder in order to keep Kevin Kouzmanoff at the hot corner in the majors. After all, Kouzmanoff was a problem defensively in 2007, his first full year in the majors. Though his Revised Zone Rating of .680 was around the average (12th among 21 qualified third basemen), he had a Rate of 86, which led to -17 FRAA. Since Kouzmanoff was an above-average hitter but not a spectacular one (.276 EqA) , this showed up in his WARP of 2.3, a below-average value. Considering Headley was prospect #23 on Kevin Goldstein’s Top 100 Prospect list, leaving a poor defensive third baseman who didn’t produce that much over the average in place seemed an odd choice.

The tables have turned in 2008, as Kouzmanoff has hit roughly the same (.267 EqA), but has improved his defense dramatically a third of the way into the season. His RZR of .779 is first in the majors among qualified third basemen, and his Rate, which was so far below the average in ‘07, is now at 109. He’s already earned +5 FRAA, and thanks to this he has almost matched last year’s WARP total already. Add to this the fact that Kouzmanoff is one of the few Padres who isn’t negatively affected by Petco Park all that much—he’s hit .285/.333/.456 at home and .306/.355/.505 on the road from 5/15/07 through yesterday—and you start to see why the front office stuck with him at the hot corner. And in a further bit of good news, Headley has also overcome his early problems at the plate at Triple-A, and is now hitting .301/.364/.524. Despite ranking last in BP’s Hit List and in their division, the Pads and their fans do have some things to look forward to.

Did you all see the little “exchange” with Maddux last night?

by padresgirlforlife44 on May 31, 2008 3:01 PM PDT up reply actions  

Well

In left last night Pmac caught that one ball when we were, I believe winning but one run. And he caught a pop fly but then hesitated for a few seconds and let a run score. He could have thrown him out. So then it got tied. Then when he went into the dugout he ran straight into the clubhouse and Bud Black and Maddux immediately followed him. Maddux had some choice words with Pmac and came out cussing. Then Pmac came out and Buddy tried talking to him. He just shrugged him off because he didnt want to talk to the manager. Which I thought was rude because he is still kind of a rookie. But all of the guys were turning around to look because they thought it could possibly get ugly. Maddux was very very upset. They talked about it and showed it in the Post Game show.
