The Berkley Flicker Shad features an internal weight-transfer system that allows the lure to be cast long distances and gives it a unique swimming action that mimics a fleeing baitfish. The Flicker Shad features Mustad Ultra Point treble hooks and is available in two sizes and 12 colors. Contact Berkley at (800) 237-5539; berkley-fishing.com.
"The Flicker Shad is an excellent trolling bait. It tracks true and dives deep."
"I cast and trolled this lure and found it has a very good action. Even though I fished it in tough, late-season conditions, the bait caught several different species of fish. Slow-trolling seems especially effective."

Holiday Shipping Surge (November 26, 2012) |
Cyber Monday sales online were expected to kick off record numbers for holiday gifts being shipped across the country along with Black Friday and Small Business Saturday.
The United States Postal Service, Fed-Ex, and UPS said the volume of packages always increases from Thanksgiving to Christmas, but with more people shopping online than in year's past they are preparing for those numbers to be higher.
With today beginning the first of 21 days of shipping until Christmas, UPS said it will move 527 million packages across the country and here in Alaska all the way until Christmas Eve.
"We do business with 24 of the top 25 retailers and we know that about a third of all shoppers will do their shopping online with a huge rise in shopping via mobile device," Mike Mangeot with UPS said.
Deadlines to Ship, so Packages Arrive by Christmas:
UPS: December 21
Fed-Ex: December 22* (Express and Priority)
USPS: December 17 (Last day to ship to military)
USPS: December 19 (Last day for most international shipping)
USPS: December 22 (Last day for most Express Mail)
"Our last delivery day is December 24th when our drivers will be out until the last package is delivered," Mangeot said. "Those men and women are heroes that day making Christmas happen for our customers all over the world."

Our Mission
Music Unites, a 501(c)3 non-profit, is dedicated to bringing music education to underprivileged children in underfunded inner city school systems. We work towards transforming inner city landscapes by empowering urban youth through music.
Our goal is to connect people through the universality of music by providing communities with opportunities for a rich musical experience. This is achieved through music education programs and by offering established and emerging musicians performance opportunities in a variety of venues and locations, including schools, where they act as mentors to the students.
We also nourish the next generation of performers by providing audiences and performance opportunities, while at the same time enriching the listening experience of the public, allowing them to experience new forms and genres through exposure to an increasingly diverse world of music.
Performance Opportunities
Music Unites hosts a series of live performances designed to introduce new audiences to a variety of musical styles and genres and help them cultivate an appreciation for the diversity that exists in our modern society. With a vast network of members in numerous industries, Music Unites has the capabilities to bring together talent, press, and industry professionals, which will provide performance artists with the necessary access to tastemakers, potential benefactors and brands.
Philanthropic Initiatives
The Music Unites Youth Choir
Young Audiences New York presents The Music Unites Youth Choir, a free after-school vocal ensemble, led by Music Director Deepak Marwah, which offers comprehensive programming to a diverse group of teens through the study, creation and presentation of music in an array of styles including R&B, gospel, pop and Western classical. With participants from over a dozen schools, the program provides supplementary music education and promotes self-expression and creativity among its members by developing original choral pieces. The group meets once a week throughout the academic year in preparation for the program's winter and spring concerts. Along with these culminating events, The MUY Choir performs additional public shows throughout the year at such esteemed venues as Carnegie Hall, The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, The Tribeca Performing Arts Center and The Bronx Zoo. Music Unites aids in programming and hosting educational workshops through an array of special opportunities including panel discussions with industry professionals from organizations such as MTV, Bowery Presents and Epic Records; private performances by recording artists (including John Forte, Jaicko and Reni Lane) and an end-of-year recording session at a New York City studio. Young Audiences New York, with the generous support of Music Unites and The Matisse Foundation, provides the youth choir with the tools and opportunities to envision the role of music in their lives, today and in the future. Along with these culminating events, The MUY Choir performs additional public shows throughout the year at such esteemed venues as Carnegie Hall, The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, The Tribeca Performing Arts Center and The Bronx Zoo.
Empowering Women Through Music
The Empowering Women Through Music initiative will help platform emerging and established female artists and professionals that are determined to give back to their community. The initiative kicked off in March 2010 with an intimate concert featuring Music Unites Ambassador, Melanie Fiona. Music Unites will work with workshops and panels and help create strong effective programs where top executives across industries will share stories and inspire women to work toward their dreams. Women in Music, a dynamic group of music industry professionals, has partnered with Music Unites in this initiative.
Music Unites Recording Academy at CARES High School, NYC, New York
Music Unites launched its first Recording Academy at CARES High School at St Luke's/Roosevelt Hospital with the goal of teaching students the intricacy of recording a record from writing, production and performance. The program consists of two classes, one guitar class and one production class.
Music Unites Guitar Program at Centennial High School, Compton, LA
Our first LA program launched as a result of a Music Unites kick-off House of Rock event last September. Since then, these students have enjoyed monthly educational workshops, and will begin their guitar classes at the start of 2013.
Music Unites Program at Benito Juarez Community Academy, Chicago, IL
One of our newest partnerships and our flagship program in Chicago. Music Unites supports the school with purchasing brand new instruments for all students and in-school and after-school programs. On June 5th, the historic Metro Theater has generously opened its doors for a benefit concert on behalf of Music Unites, to bring funding to their very own Chicago Music Unites program at Benito Juarez.
Music-Versity Workshops
Monthly supplemental field trips, panels, workshops, master classes and other special opportunities to give students an inside look into the music industry. Through founder Michelle Edgar's network, she is able to provide these students with one-on-one sessions with recording artist and industry leaders for Music Unites students to truly feel empowered and learn how to pursue their future dreams.
Who We Are
With Music Unites, Founder and Executive Director Michelle Edgar aims to foster a lasting and profound love of all musical expression with people from all walks of life.
A lifelong musician herself, Edgar began formal training in classical piano at age five and attended high school at the Manhattan School of Music. After graduating from Northwestern University, where she received training as a concert pianist, she moved back to New York where she was disappointed to find such an electrifying city still segregated by genre, style, and idiom. As a fan of all music—from jazz to rock, classical to hip-hop—she dreamed of an organization that might provide audiences with a unique, inclusive way to experience music in all its hues and flavors. Projects including Blue October, Tamarama, Chester French, Universal Motown records, among other A-list acts planned for the very near future, ranging in diversity. Michelle created Music Unites to support talented artists who are struggling to get their music heard and, in turn, to support communities in need of musical rejuvenation.
The Music Unites team is a talented group of professionals from diverse industries who share a passion for music and a desire to engage, inspire, and connect people. Whether funding a Lincoln Center initiative, partnering with a musician's charity or launching a music-related school program that gives back to the community, Music Unites aspires to become that trusted, reliable friend and patron of the music community.

Highlights include listening to the frogs and birds by the pond, smelling plants in the Herb Garden, and feeling different types of conifers on the woodland path.
Grade 1: Life in the Trees. This program introduces students to the concept of habitat and explores the relationships between Abert's Squirrels, birds, insects and the Ponderosa Pine. Students will spend their time in the forest looking for clues about animal-plant interactions taking place above them and right beneath their feet.
Grade 2: Riparian Rascals. Students will learn about and compare the different stages in the development of a Western Chorus Frog and a Dragonfly/Damselfly. They will spend their time at the pond investigating the lives of these creatures, playing games and looking for signs of life in the pond.
Grade 3: Water Bug Naturalist. Students will learn about the importance of riparian areas to plants and wildlife in Arizona as well as the adaptations needed for living in the water. They will explore and identify aquatic invertebrates in the Arboretum's riparian areas. They will share their findings with classmates and will have the opportunity to use a micro-camera.
Grade 4: Hardy Adaptations. Students find out how plants are able to thrive in our arid, high-elevation ecosystem. They will identify the characteristics of plants and trees that help them survive the elements. This program includes hands-on activities that help build observation skills and promote critical thinking about the plant world. A trip to the greenhouse will further assist in learning about plant adaptations.
Grade 5: Fifth Grade Foresters. Students will learn about forest health and will be able to recognize indicators of healthy and unhealthy forests. Students will be asked to be foresters for a day, and in doing so, they will evaluate certain sections of the forest and offer solutions about how to improve the health of the forest.

Jim's Organic Coffee Whole Bean Together Decaf -- 12 oz
not bad, I prefer the slightly bolder Gorilla decaf from the Organic Coffee Company
February 27, 2013
Best I've tried so far!
It's hard to find organic decaf, but really hard to find any kind of decaf that doesn't taste bitter or rancid. This is really flavorful and satisfies me when I have a coffee craving in the evening but don't want to be awake half the night!
January 17, 2013
Good strong taste, but I do use a generous amount of grounds.
November 2, 2011
My fav decaf coffee that is chemical free, no bitter taste and organic.
October 18, 2011
Great coffee

A word from Shun Lee West
Conveniently located across from Lincoln Center and a startling revelation in shiny black lacquer, Shun Lee exudes Asian chic with grand authority.
For haute Chinese cuisine, it's among New York City's best. Regional offerings include crispy Grand Marnier prawns with honey walnuts (Canton),
braised sea bass in hot bean sauce (Hunan) and shredded beef with leeks and hot peppers (Szechwan). Specialties include beggar's chicken baked in lotus leaves and clay (requires one day's notice), Hunan tripe, sweetbreads with black mushrooms and of course, Beijing Duck.

Diner Reviews
Service is vary good. Exotic
decor. Food is very well prepared and tasty. A really fun and semi-casual/semi-formal mix perfect for pre-show dining."
Dined on 3/8/2014
Service was slow to start. Once we
were noticed the service and food was great."
Dined on 3/7/2014
Best Chinese food on the west
side! Service is always rushing and they would love you to order right away."
Dined on 3/8/2014
Had been a while, and recent
reviews were mixed, but we went to the opera and it was restaurant week, so decided to try it again. Glad we did. Everything was really excellent, and service was particularly spectacular. The place hasn't changed much, but it's very comfortable and open, and also fairly quiet, so we could actually hear each other talk. The spare ribs were good (not fatty and greasy as one reviewer said). The pan fried dumplings were excellent. The dry sauteed beef was outstanding and the fish dish we ordered was good. We each had pineapple for dessert and each got 1/4 of a fresh pineapple, and I even liked my fortune cookie. Our server was outstanding. We felt like royalty there, and I'd definitely go back again!"
Dined on 3/3/2014
attention to detail, service and
to the diner is not to be rivaled!"
Dined on 3/6/2014
Three of us dined deliciously. The
menu is broad and inclusive with choices for all palates. The ambiance is rather elegant, very comfortable and conducive to conversation."
Dined on 3/6/2014
I hadn't been to Shun Lee in a
number of years but I was going to a show at Lincoln Center so I met a friend there for dinner. The food is authentic and delicious AND expensive. They make a mean Mai Tai. Definitely someplace worth going to treat yourself every once in a while."
Dined on 3/5/2014
Service is good. but food is
tasteless. They try to americanize the chinese food. The taste became wired. It is overpriced."
Dined on 3/1/2014
The worst food and waiters and
atmosphere ever. Skip it"
Dined on 2/28/2014
When I am going to Lincoln Center
and would like to have a delicious pre-theater meal, I always think of Shun Lee. Every that I've had here is very good. Although the menu is pricey, it has lots of interesting finds and the service is superb."
Dined on 2/28/2014
The menu, decor and staff are
tired and need to be re-examined."
Dined on 2/24/2014
I was excited to eat at Shun Lee.
I'm an Upper West Sider and yet I'd never tried it. It has a great reputation and I convinced my party to go there despite many other places on the list that they were interested in. Boy am I embarrassed. It was terrible. One of our party sent two of her dishes back - and for good reason. One app. was identified as "grilled scallops". What came was tiny chunks of scallops in a weird mayonnaise sauce. Everything was beyond mediocre. I could have done better at a handful of Chinese joints in the 5 block radius of my building. Red Farm anyone?! Check it out!!"
Dined on 2/27/2014
The ambience of the restaurant was
great, my friend and I wasn't impressed with the food. It's like what's the chance of two people not liking there food, very slim. But not in this case, we both give it two thumbs UP! For the restaurant having an A rating, my expectation was higher. Very disappointed!"
Dined on 2/24/2014
I went to Shun Lee West during
Chinese New Year. They had a wonderful traditional Chinese meal for Chinese New Year and it was very well prepared and delicious. I loved the ambience of the restaurant, hip but traditional. The staff was excellent, described each meal as it was presented. My friend and I had a lovely time and I would recommend Shun Lee for lunch and dinner."
Dined on 2/6/2014
After reading reviews of shun lee
I was excited to check it out during restaurant week before the ballet. It seems like 30 hrs ago it was great place to go. There are tons of waiters and service is pretty good. However, the food was worse than standard Chinese food, but way overpriced. If you want good Chinese food, go to china town. My beer was warm and the food was not satisfying. Green tea ice cream was great and my husband had almond tofu which was very good as well. Not enough to get me to go back though."
Dined on 2/21/2014
We had never tried this place
before despite its proximity to Lincoln Center. Now I know why. The menu is ridiculously overpriced for a mediocre (at best) experience. The hot and sour soup was decent but the vegetable dumplings tasted old and off. The curry shrimp and other entrees (Buddha's delight, Grand Marnier shrimp, fish with black bean sauce) were just ok. The decor is somehow reminiscent of an early 80's prom theme and it just felt and smelled like it could use a thorough cleaning. If the meal had cost half of what it turned out to be I don't think I would have been quite as annoyed. My friends and I would never go back."
Dined on 2/17/2014
We went to Shun Lee West for an
early dinner before a 7:30 curtain at the Metropolitan Opera. The staff was aware of our need to order and be served quickly, and it showed. Although there were four of us ordering several different dishes, the food was served in a timely manner and was delicious as usual (we've eaten there before). Despite our need to keep an eye on the time, the meal did not seem rushed. The ambience is very nice and quiet enough for conversation. We highly recommend the restaurant and will certainly return there."
Dined on 2/20/2014
We always love Shun Lee, and
visited for Restaurant Week. Unlike most other pricey restaurants, which make serious 'adjustments' to menu choices, portion sizes, service and overall dining to accomodate Restaurant Week's lower price tags, at Shun Lee it was hard to know we were eating a discounted meal. The choices were ample, the food its usual superb, and service was excellant."
Dined on 2/17/2014
Enjoyed lunch at Shun Lee West.
Food, atmosphere and service couldn't have been better. Great selection of dishes and very attentive staff. Will definitely go there again when in the mood for some great Chinese cuisine,"
Dined on 2/17/2014
It was our second time at Shun Lee
West, so convenient to Lincoln Center. Staff could not have been more accommodating. Food is great -- had the Peking duck. Very relaxed atmosphere."
Dined on 2/15/2014
Have been looking for an upscale
Chinese experience on the West side.. And finally found one! Great food, loved the duck spring rolls, lobster special and baby eggplant.. Service was good, and ambiance warm and open. Dragon design around the room was interesting - lots of space, not the usual packed tables layout... Definitely will go back!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
Great Chinese food-but more
expensive than moderate! Drinks were not on the menu, but when ordered a very small glass arrived at a very large price- that was disturbing when the check arrived."
Dined on 2/14/2014
We are never disappointed when we
dine at Shun Lee. The wait staff goes out of its way to make us feel comfortable, and the food is always thoughtfully prepared. Old Chinese take out favorites are prepared healthfully yet deliciously. There are always dishes I have never tried, and discover new favorites. I highly recommend Shun Lee West."
Dined on 2/9/2014
A bit pricey (we do take out from
here all the time) at $69 for the banquet, but the food just kept coming (fall-off-the-bone ribs, langoustines, chicken, 2 different seasonings of sea bass, sweets at the end) and it was delicious. Also, our host, Alex Wong, was hysterically funny. I think we'll try to come into the restaurant more often. BTW, one of our favorite takeout foods is the hunan veal--very tender and tasty. They're always great about changing the seasoning level if you don't like too spicy."
Dined on 2/7/2014
We always try to get to Shun Lee
for the Chinese New Year's banquet, and it is always worthwhile. A fabulous variety of dishes served up in a festive atmosphere where the courses just seem to keep coming, and everyone a party on the palate. Additionally, the price is so reasonable, you feel like doing it over again the next night. A treat not to be missed."
Dined on 2/5/2014
but the first course of the New
Year Menu was on the cold side- like it had been sitting. My guests were from China so they seemed fine with it. I thought the quail was overcooked. But the remaining dishes were amazing so it cancelled that out. The man serving was made the evening perfect- he is someone to hang on to for sure. He worked for AIG and was charistmat ic mix of Chinese and American humor..which made for a lovely evening.. Don't know his name."
Dined on 2/1/2014
Mediocre food. They forgot us
after we ordered - people around us who came after us got their food and we still hadn't. Then we reminded them we were there and they brought food. Never asked us if we wanted drinks (we did but never ordered them). Way overpriced for very average experience. Will not go again. Would not recommend."
Dined on 2/1/2014
It was the eve of Chinese New Year
and there were two big special tables in the middle of the restaurant. Unfortunately we were seated near these two big table and the guests and the servers kept bumping into our seats. The good thing was that they must have realized this and offered a complimentary desert for my daughter. The place is a bit over-hyped I think"
Dined on 1/30/2014
The Dim Sum cart was excellent and
the staff was exceptionally friendly, but good Chinese food is plentiful at more affordable prices. The ambiance was OK, but Shun Lee would do well to spice up the place a bit."
Dined on 1/27/2014
Always liked Shun Lee. Found it
better than ever. Every dish we ordered was outstanding, incl soup dumplings and crispy fish. And staff was extremely attentive and helpful."
Dined on 1/28/2014
One if the best in the city
although not as good as it once was. Crowded at 645 amazingly! Lincoln Centre area very busy on a very cold Saturday night!"
Dined on 1/25/2014
Food was good, not as great as I
remembered. Service a little sluggish at the table. But we still enjoyed ourselves!"
Dined on 1/25/2014
Peking duck not up to my
expectations. Pancake too large and thick."
Dined on 1/24/2014
Was quite disappointed, as the
place seemed tired. Went to an 11:00 concert at Lincoln Center and then to lunch where usually all the restaurants in the area are packed. Shun Lee had very few tables filled. Food was good, but not outstanding, as it used to be. Best thing we had, I thought, was the chicken with snow peas and water chestnuts. Ribs were greasy and fatty. Fortune cookies, great!"
Dined on 1/17/2014
We've been to Shun Lee West
before, thought it average at best, but tried again. The staff is very pleasant, service very good, ambiance quite nice. But we found the food average fare, nothing special. We ordered off the "specials" list, but everything was in sauce that left a lingering aftertaste."
Dined on 1/12/2014
Dined on 1/14/2014
We made our reservations 3 hours
in advance and we arrived about 30 minutes late. The host welcomed us, but asked that we finish at (6pm) since we arrived late. I imagine they budget 2 hours per table for Saturday night dinner. We ordered the marinated short ribs, prawns and a savory chicken stew. Everything was delicious. The servers were responsive and made my daughter feel special with compliments on her Chinese attire. Overall, the dinner was a great beginning to a night at Lincoln Center. I would visit again, but ensure more margin to arrive on time!"
Dined on 1/11/2014
was very disappointed in the food
this time. The dumplings were dry, hard and doughy. Our main dish was good . We usually come out saying what a great meal, not this time"
Dined on 1/12/2014
Shun Lee West always produces
dependable food and knows how to get Lincoln Center customers out in time for the shows. While not always offering menu surprises, the standards always work well for us. However, some of the recent specials were different and delicious."
Dined on 1/11/2014
Is the best, by far, around. Is
just the perfect menu, perfect ambience, perfect location to go after theater, movie, opera -if it is still open."

Resident HVAC/R Jambi
2001 Tracker AC
So I'm looking at my neighbors AC on their Tracker.
Does anybody know what they use for a cycle switch on these? There is no accumulator or cycle switch that I can find. I see the high side fan switch(s). I thought it was an Evap temp switch, but I can't find one on the evap (or I can't see or feel it). There is a switch somewhere keeping the clutch from engaging. Or, does anybody have a wiring schematic for this thing? |
June 29th, 2011, 06:45 AM | #3 |
it doesnt have a cycle sw, the DEF fuse 15a powers the compressor relay and the 60a HTR fuse powers the A/C 25a fuse and that is what powers the clutch, i have a diagram but not sure how to get it to you.
June 29th, 2011, 02:06 PM | #6 |
looking at the Schematics it has a pressure s/w and a A/C control module, totaly seprate from the clutch Schematics the relay is turned on by the PCM that gets signals from the A/C controll mod.....an on an on an on...lol

Resident HVAC/R Jambi
Yeah, I'm pretty savvy with AC stuff. I have power to the relay coil, just not on the common side of the relay to power the clutch.
I put a jumper on teh battery to the clutch and the AC runs awesome, not low at all. Just need to figure out why I don't have 12v on that one side of the relay. |
July 11th, 2011, 07:17 PM | #8 |
Resident HVAC/R Jambi
Found that fuse! Thanks! The fuse was kind of sitting all by itself, next to a bunch of relays under the hood. I thought it would have been in one of the two Fuse Boxes on that vehicle. But, it's working great, thanks.

Amazon Standard Identification Number
The Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN) is a 10-character alphanumeric unique identifier assigned by Amazon.com and its partners for product identification within the Amazon.com organization.[1] Amazon.ca,[1] Amazon.co.uk,[2] Amazon.de,[3] Amazon.fr,[4] Amazon.it,[5] Amazon.co.jp,[6] Amazon.cn,[7] and Amazon.es[8] also use ASINs.
Although ASINs used to be unique worldwide, global expansion has changed so that ASINs are only guaranteed unique within a marketplace. The same product may be referred to by several ASINs though, and different national sites may use a different ASIN for the same product. In general, ASINs are likely to be different between the country sites unless they are for a class of product where the ASIN is based on an externally-defined and internationally consistent identifier, such as ISBN for books. (Where the ASIN is the same across sites, it is likely to be because the 3rd party creator of the product information was careful to quote an existing ASIN when creating the product in second and subsequent countries, or the subsequent product creation offered exact duplicate information and long enough after the initial creation to allow indexes to have been updated. Also, ISBNs can vary between countries for the same book if a separate print run or edition was published for the country.)
Each product sold on Amazon.com is given a unique ASIN. For books with 10-digit International Standard Book Number (ISBN), the ASIN and the ISBN are the same. Books without a 10-digit ISBN (including those with only a 13-digit ISBN)[citation needed] and other products are also assigned ASINs. ASINs are also used for other items used by Amazon.com (and subsidiaries), such as businesses in the yellow pages (on A9.com) and OpenSearch feeds.
Proponents of the free culture movement, such as Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales, have criticized the ASIN as an example of a proprietary product identifier, arguing that it draws producers—especially smaller ones—into a lock-in with Amazon, and have proposed the creation of an open alternative where producers could register product IDs for a marginal fee without proprietary control, and the resulting databases would be available under a free license.[9]
ASIN in Amazon URLs[edit]
On Amazon's USA-targeted web site, a product's web address (URL) may contain its ASIN in any of the following formats:
- http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/ASIN-VALUE-HERE
- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ASIN-VALUE-HERE
- http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/ASIN-VALUE-HERE
- http://www.amazon.com/dp/ASIN-VALUE-HERE
- http://www.amazon.com/<ProductName>/dp/ASIN-VALUE-HERE
where ASIN-VALUE-HERE is replaced by the actual ASIN.
For example, using the "dp" ("detail page") URL format, the 4th paperback edition of Strunk and White's The Elements of Style, whose ISBN is 0-205-30902-X, would be found at:
- http://www.amazon.com/dp/020530902X
Similar URLs can be constructed for Amazon web sites in other countries:
- Canada: http://www.amazon.ca/dp/020530902X
- China: http://www.amazon.cn/dp/020530902X
- France: http://www.amazon.fr/dp/020530902X
- Germany: http://www.amazon.de/dp/020530902X
- Italy: http://www.amazon.it/dp/020530902X
- Japan: http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/020530902X
- Spain: http://www.amazon.es/dp/020530902X
- United Kingdom: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/020530902X
However, not all sites carry all titles; for example, the ASIN B000J8VLEC only appears on Amazon.jp.
Also note that the Kindle edition of a book will not use its ISBN as the ASIN.
Shortening the URL[edit]
In cases where a shorter URL is desired than the one provided by default by the Amazon web site—for example, for use in a text message—the prefix "www." may be removed, and, if present, any text after the ASIN itself may be dropped from the URL, as well as any text between the domain name (e.g., amazon.com) and the first part of the resource path in the cases listed above (e.g., /gp or /dp).
For example, if one uses Amazon's search feature to find the Strunk and White book mentioned above, the resulting URL might look like:
- http://amazon.com/Elements-Style-Fourth-William-Strunk/dp/020530902X/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1307695052&sr=8-7
This can be shortened to:
- http://amazon.com/dp/020530902X
In addition, the domain name itself may be shortened to amzn.com (USA site only), in which case everything except the domain and ASIN may be dropped. This results in the shortest possible form:

This is the sixth in my series on possible extensions for the Braves' young core players. Here are the links to part one (on Martin Prado, alas), part two (Jason Heyward), part three (Freddie Freeman), part four (Kris Medlen), and part five (Craig Kimbrel). In the last post, by the way, 60% of TC readers favored extending Kimbrel at the cost I proposed ($17.5M over 4 years).
I don't expect Mike Minor to sign an extension this offseason. I also don't think that the case for extending him now is persuasive even if you assume that several other players have already been signed.
However, there is a popular sentiment among Braves fans that Minor (buoyed by his excellent 2nd half of the 2012 season) is a burgeoning ace. Assuming that there is a realistic chance of Minor developing into a top-of-the-rotation starter, now may be the perfect time to sign him long-term. His price is undoubtably much lower now than it will be a year from now in that scenario.
Plus, I was quite curious to see what we can learn about Minor's future from comparable players. Such research can't tell us what Minor will do in 2013 and beyond, but it can give us a reasonable baseline for our expectations.
Accordingly, I will be proposing an extension for Minor at the end of this post, but I wouldn't take it too seriously for now. Rather, consider it a median projection of his future value.
The contract I'm proposing will be a 5-year deal that will buy out all 5 of Minor's years of team control. The proposal will also include 2 team option years at the end of the deal, a standard feature of early-career pitcher extensions.
I'll use the same three criteria from the previous posts to determine a fair value for the contract:
- What is the player's present value?
- What are the chances that he can maintain this value in the future?
- How much did comparable players make in their extensions?
Let's start with the simplest of these questions:
What is Minor's Present Value?
Minor has a lot in common with his teammate, Kris Medlen; both far outperformed their previous levels with a spectacular string of starts in the 2nd half of last year. The difference is mainly that Minor was worse both during his streak ("only" a 2.25 ERA in 14 second-half starts) and especially before it (a 5.97 ERA in 16 first-half starts).
In Minor's favor, he's two years younger than Medlen, having just turned 25 in December, and he has more major-league rotation experience (53 starts to Medlen's 30). This allows us to better project Minor; it also tells us that he's more likely to improve during the course of the contract.
Because Minor has yet to enter the arbitration process (he won't be eligible until after the 2014 season unless he earns "Super 2" status), we have no real outside estimate of his value. However, we can place an estimate on his worth based on his performance to date:
302.2 | 3.1% | 7.6% | 20.8% | .298 | 4.37 | 90 | 4.03 | 97 |
* FIP+, like ERA+, adjusts for park and league and sets 100 as average, with each point above 100 equal to 1% better than average. I converted FanGraphs' FIP- stat to FIP+ for better comparison with ERA+.
A few things jump out at me from this chart. First, Minor's strikeout and walk rates are pretty good but far from outstanding (the league averages over the past 3 years are 19% Ks and 8.2% BBs). More than outweighing that, however, is his poor home run rate (the league average in that span is 2.5%). This should come as no surprise to Braves fans who watched Minor's 2012 first half.
Add all that up and you get a useful but below-average pitcher. By ERA, he's been about 10% below average in his career (though he's been a bit better the past 2 seasons). By FIP, he's been 3% below average.
Minor's Wins Above Replacement (WAR) values are, accordingly, not that impressive. FanGraphs says he's been worth 3.5 WAR in his career, which works out to around 2.3 WAR per 200 innings. Baseball-Reference is much more skeptical, rating him at just 0.2 WAR, total, in his career (and just 0.4 WAR each of the past 2 seasons).
I trust FanGraphs' version of WAR more for pitchers with less than 3 full years' experience, so let's go with the more optimistic 3.5 WAR total. That would imply that Minor is roughly a league-average pitcher (~2 WAR in ~180 IP) right now. The free-market value of such a pitcher is around $9-10 million per season.
Using the 40/60/80 arbitration rule and factoring in a 20% extension discount, we get a total contract value of around $16M for the 5 seasons of the deal. But of course, this is based on present performance, and the whole idea of this contract is that Minor could develop into a top-flight starter. So let's look at that possibility.
What are the chances Minor will improve his value?
Unlike many of the other players I've covered in this series, Mike Minor is not all that unusual of a comparison. I decided to keep it simple for his comparison group. I looked for starting pitchers in the last 25 years who posted an ERA+ between 90 and 100 in their age 23 & 24 seasons, combined (Minor is at 96 in those years).
The result was a list of 19 players (it would've been 20, but I eliminated Sean Marshall because he switched to relief) ranging from Tom Glavine to Daniel Cabrera*. Here's the full list if you're curious.
* There were also 6 other players who were too recent to include in the data set: Mike Leake, Brett Cecil, Travis Wood, Homer Bailey, Brad Bergesen, and Wade Davis.
These players all had similar "just OK" profiles at Minor's age. Here are the averages for the 19 players in their age-23 and age-24 seasons. I've added Minor's numbers for comparison. The right column pro-rates the (B-Ref) WAR totals to 200 IP (but remember that FanGraphs rates Minor much more highly).
Comps | 340 | 2.8% | 8.4% | 14.6% | 2.3 | 96 | 96 | 1.3 |
Minor | 262 | 3.0% | 7.9% | 20.4% | 0.8 | 96 | 98 | 0.6 |
By ERA+ and FIP+, the comparison group is a dead-on match for Minor. Minor's peripherals are quite similar, too, aside from K rate. (And Minor's advantage in that category isn't as large as it seems, since many of his comps pitched at a time when strikeouts were much harder to come by.) The WAR difference is partially attributable to Minor's relatively low inning total.
At any rate, we next need to know how the comps performed in their age-25 through age-29 seasons, the years that will be guaranteed in Minor's hypothetical extension. Here are the average results for those five years combined (full results at this link):
Comps | 731 | 2.6% | 8.4% | 15.5% | 7.8 | 102 | 100 | 2.1 |
The group saw a slight, but across-the-board, improvement in its statistics over these years, which are essentially a pitcher's prime. Both their ERA+ and their FIP+ improved by around 5 points, and their WAR/200 went up from 1.3 to 2.1.
While the average player in this group posted 2.1 WAR per "full season" of 200 innings, notice that the average was only about 146 innings per year. Whether due to injury or ineffectiveness, these pitchers were only in the rotation for about 3/4 of the five-year period. This is consistent with the results of the comparison groups for Medlen and Craig Kimbrel. When projecting a pitcher, you just have to factor in that 25% injury/underperformance rate.
There were several unqualified successes in Minor's comparison group: Glavine, Ben Sheets, and Charles Nagy all pitched at All-Star levels (though no one else was even close). However, while there were no utter disasters in the group (everyone had a positive WAR), there were many disappointments: Frank Castillo, Jim Parque, and Zach Duke all earned less than 1 WAR, total, for instance.
Overall, 8 of the 19 pitchers improved their ERA+ figures by more than 5 points. Another 9 were about the same--within 5 points--of their previous levels. Just 2 declined by more than 5 points, though remember that because the figures were lowish to begin with, there was a lot more room to improve than to decline.
By FIP+, 6 improved, 9 were about the same, and 4 declined. By WAR/200, 8 improved, 8 were about the same, and 3 declined.
In other words, Minor probably won't get any worse, but the odds as to whether he'll actually get noticeably better are only 50/50 at best. Taking the above numbers into account, I'd project about a 40% chance of improvement, a 45% chance of staying roughly the same, and a 15% chance of decline. I'd rate the chances of a breakout at about 15% as well.
Since the decline risk is relatively low, and since any extension would be for a relatively small dollar value, you could make the case that those odds are definitely worth it for Atlanta. Even if Minor doesn't improve, he won't be much of a payroll burden as long as he stays healthy and doesn't completely collapse.
If we assume that Minor performs up to the averages of the comparison group (7.8 WAR), he'd be worth something like $35M over the 5 years of the deal, using 2012 free agent dollars (~$4.5M per win). Factor in Minor's pre-arbitration status, and we'd get a contract worth around $15M.
If we judge Minor by his more favorable FanGraphs WAR values, and assume that he will marginally improve upon them going forward, we'd get a total contract value of closer to $25M. Let's split the difference for now and say that Minor is worth about a $20M contract.
Finally, let's see how such a contract would compare with some of Minor's peers who have gotten extensions in recent seasons.
How much did players like Minor get for their extensions?
I looked for pitchers who got 4- or 5-year extensions at similar points in their careers. The closest comparables are probably Cory Luebke, Matt Moore, Wade Davis, Brett Anderson, Nick Blackburn, Gavin Floyd, and Scott Baker. Keeping in mind that Minor's WAR values are a lot better in the FanGraphs version, here are what these players' extensions looked like (TO = "team option years"):
Stats at time of extension | Extension Details | ||||||
Player | Age^ | Tot. WAR | WAR/200 | Yrs til FA | Yrs/TOs | Tot. $ | Avg. Post-FA $ |
Luebke | 26 | 1.4 | 1.8 | 5 | 4 / 2 | $12M | ~$9M (TO) |
Moore | 22 | ** | ** | 6 | 5 / 3 | $14M | $9.5M (TO) |
Davis | 24 | 1.3 | 1.3 | 5 | 4 / 3 | $12.6M | $9M (TO) |
Anderson | 21 | 2.0 | 2.3 | 5 | 4 / 2 | $12.5M | $12M (TO) |
Blackburn | 27 | 4.6 | 2.2 | 4 | 4 / 1 | $14M | $8M (TO) |
Floyd | 25 | 2.1 | 1.1 | 4 | 4 / 1 | $15.5M | $9.5M (TO) |
Baker | 26 | 6.1 | 2.7 | 4 | 4 / 1 | $15.25 | $9.25M (TO) |
Average | 24 | 2.5 | 1.9 | 5 | 4 / 2 | $13.7M | $9.5M |
Minor | 24 | 0.2 | 0.2 | 5 | ?? | ?? | ?? |
^ This is the player's age during the last season before the deal.
** Moore had pitched a total of 9 and 1/3 MLB innings when he signed his deal.
The first four deals on this list aren't quite comparable because the player's final arbitration season is a team option year, not a guaranteed year. But we can make them comparable simply by adjusting their total values upward somewhat, to around $18-20M in each case. That pushes the average total $$ to around $17M.
None of the deals exactly match our proposed 5 guaranteed year / 2 team options structure, but they're all pretty close; none guarantee a free-agent season, but all include a team option that runs into free agency.
This is a fairly diverse group, with a couple young studs (Anderson, Moore) mixed in with some older (but more accomplished) pitchers like Blackburn and Baker. Minor isn't nearly as heralded as the former group, but he's also got a lot more room for growth than the latter group. Probably the best comps for Minor in the group are Davis and Floyd.
If we use Minor's B-Ref WAR, he doesn't seem to compare well to the pitchers above. If we use his FanGraphs WAR or his peripherals, however, he slots right into the middle of the group. Since I trust the latter numbers more at this point, I think the average values above are a good baseline for our hypothetical contract.
Overall, I'd project a contract that looks something like this:
- $0.5M in 2013
- $1M in 2014
- $3M in 2015
- $5M in 2016
- $7M in 2017
- $9M team options for 2018 & 2019, with a $1M buyout
That works out to a total of $17.5M guaranteed over 5 years, with the chance of the contract being worth $34.5M over 7 years. With salary inflation likely in the future, Minor would probably only need to be worth around 1.5 wins per year (7.5 WAR total) to make the deal worth it. That's about the same as his past performance (at least, by FanGraphs' standards).
If we look at the above group of comparable contracts, we see that two of the pitchers listed (Baker & Anderson) have already needed major arm surgery, while another (Davis) underperformed and was demoted to the bullpen. There have been some solid values in the group (Floyd in particular), but nothing mind-blowing... not yet, anyway.
Personally, I would much rather that the Braves wait at least a year on Minor. He's still got five more years of team control, and he won't get expensive for a while even if he does improve. The proposed contract doesn't break the bank, but it seems like an unnecessary risk at this point. I'd much rather give Minor another year and then bite the salary bullet if he really has turned a corner.
I suspect that the Braves feel the same way; I doubt that they're eager to throw guaranteed money at a pitcher with fewer than 2 years' service time. Given all that can happen between now and the time that Minor would be due to enter arbitration, 2 years from now, I just can't see the Braves going for something like this. Not for a pitcher, anyway.
What do you guys think?
