Michael Cuddyer Rumors
Quick Hits: Stanton, Mariners, Rios, Payrolls
The Marlins hope to have Giancarlo Stanton signed to a long-term extension before the Winter Meetings, Miami president of baseball operations Michael Hill tells Jim Duquette and Jim Bowden of MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM (audio link). Hill said that Jose Fernandez's rehab from Tommy John surgery is going well but the team is "not going to push anything because he is so valuable to us." Not included in the audio link, but available via Bowden's Twitter feed, are Hill's remarks about wanting to add another starting pitcher and a big bat to the Marlins' roster this offseason.
Here's some more from around baseball…
- Ten hitters who the Mariners could pursue via trades or free agency are listed by Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune. Victor Martinez, Michael Cuddyer and Billy Butler seem to be Seattle's likeliest targets, Dutton believes, while players like Melky Cabrera (desire to play on the East Coast), Nelson Cruz and Yasmany Tomas (salary demands) seem unlikely to join the M's.
- Alex Rios is likely viewed by the Mariners and other teams as "a fall-back option" if their preferred outfield choices aren't available, Dutton writes. "Few if any" scouts would sign Rios to a two-year contract, though a one-year deal worth no more than $10MM "could be a reasonable…risk." MLBTR's Tim Dierkes predicted Rios would find a one-year, $8.5MM deal this winter.
- A number of trends emerged from a study of how the last 46 playoff teams allocated their payroll, Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. Spreading salaries around seemed to be a key factor — only nine of the 46 teams spent more than 17% of their Opening Day payroll on a single player, and the teams averaged 54.5% on their five most expensive players. Of the 46 teams studied, only two had a highest-paid player who was also their most productive player (according to WAR).
- With offense down, starting pitchers (maybe even the top arms) could see their market diminished in free agency this winter, ESPN's Buster Olney writes in his latest Insider-only piece. Conversely, this also raises the value of free agent hitters, plus some teams could receive some big returns in trades for quality bats. Olney lists a few hitters that have already been mentioned as possible trade candidates (i.e. Yoenis Cespedes and Cubs' middle infielders) as well as longer-shot options as Manny Machado.
- Mike Elias, the Astros' director of amateur scouting, discusses Houston's scouting department, some prospects the difficulty in accurately grading hitting and a number of other topics as part of a wide-ranging interview with Fangraphs' David Laurila.

NL East Links: Kaneko, Cuddyer, Ricciardi, Braves
Japanese right-hander Chihiro Kaneko is visiting the United States to get a first-hand look at the atmosphere of Major League Baseball by visiting the World Series, according to Yahoo Sports Japan (Japanese link). The 31-year-old Kaneko is the ace of Nippon Professional Baseball's Orix Buffaloes and is eligible to be posted this offseason, if his team agrees to post him (and, if he expresses a desire to jump to MLB). Kaneko has been scouted personally by Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. in September as well as the Red Sox and Padres, according to the Yahoo report. In 184 innings this season, Kaneko posted a sparkling 1.91 ERA with 9.5 K/9 and 2.0 BB/9, allowing a minuscule seven homers in an excellent season. In parts of nine pro seasons, Kaneko has a 2.69 ERA with 8.0 K/9, 2.1 BB/9 and 0.6 HR/9 in 1279 1/3 innings.
Here's more pertaining to the National League East…
- Some familiar with the Mets' thinking believe that the team would be interested in adding Michael Cuddyer on a two-year deal, reports Andy Martino of the New York Daily News. The Mets are known to be hesitant to deal from their crop of high-upside young arms, and Cuddyer would provide them with a fairly versatile piece that can add some punch to the lineup. Martino also notes that the Mets are monitoring Yoenis Cespedes and consider Rafael Montero more tradeable than Noah Syndergaard or Jacob deGrom. For what it's worth, Cuddyer grew up in the same town as David Wright and the two have long been friends and offseason workout partners. MLBTR's Zach Links recently profiled Cuddyer and projected a two-year, $22MM contract.
- More from Martino, who wrote yesterday that the Mets could be nearing an extension with assistant GM J.P. Ricciardi. The former Blue Jays GM has been with the Mets since 2010 and currently oversees the club's pro scouting operations while also serving as an adviser to GM Sandy Alderson.
- There's been a great deal of speculation that Evan Gattis could be trade bait this winter, but MLB.com's Mark Bowman takes a long look at whether or not the Braves should entertain offers for Justin Upton and/or Jason Heyward as well. Each corner outfielder is set to become a free agent next winter. Moving one would allow the team to keep Gattis and play him in the outfield, although as Bowman notes, that would significantly weaken the club's defense. Still, with each dangerously close to the open market, the front office could move one for a group of prospects that would further position the team for success as it heads into a new stadium in 2017, Bowman writes.

Free Agent Profile: Michael Cuddyer
Despite an injury plagued 2014, Michael Cuddyer figures to be amongst the more heavily pursued free agent position players of the winter. The 35-year-old (36 by Opening Day) played in just 49 games in 2014, but his offensive numbers are more in less in line with his 2013 output and there's always a market for effective bats with some pop. His last trip through free agency netted a three-year, $31.5MM contract and he's now in position to land yet another lucrative deal.
Over the last three seasons in Colorado (280 games), Cuddyer owns a .307/.362/.525 batting line with 46 homers. His best work in Colorado came in the sandwich year of 2013 when he was NL batting champion with a .331 average at the plate. And, while Coors Field is the most hitter-friendly park in the majors, it wasn't just the home altitude that helped Cuddyer knock 20 homers and post the NL's fourth-highest slugging percentage (.530) in that season. The veteran hit eleven homers at Coors and nine dingers on the road in 2013. Meanwhile, his wRC+ (Weighted Runs Created Plus, explained masterfully by Fangraphs here) of 138 was the best showing of his career at the time, putting him well ahead of the league average and 14 percentage points above his previous watermark from Minnesota in 2009. In a smaller sample, he topped that with a wRC+ of 151 this past season.
Somewhat surprisingly, Cuddyer consistently posts average or better marks in baserunning value, according to Fangraphs. Cuddyer has a strong career BsR of 8.3 and his recent marks of 0.0, 1.1, and 1.3 in the last three seasons would indicate that he has been at least an average runner. At this point in his career, he's probably not the fastest guy out there, but the numbers would suggest that he's smart on the basepaths.
Cuddyer offers some versatility as he could be slotted in as a first baseman or an outfielder. He also won't have a qualifying offer attached to him and won't require the forfeiture of draft picks.
Cuddyer averaged roughly 150 games per year in his final three seasons with the Twins, which helped lead to his big payday in Colorado. Unfortunately, he's averaged ~93 games per season since and saw time in just 49 games in 2014. In 2012, an oblique injury cost him the majority of August and all of September. He played 130 games in 2013, but a neck injury shelved him for two weeks in May. Last season, a painful shoulder fracture and a pair of strained hamstrings led to Cuddyer being mostly out of commission. Teams are sure to be wary about that as he approached his age-36 season.
Cuddyer has experience at multiple positions but he's not Gold Glove material at any of them. For his career, Cuddyer has a -8.0 UZR/150 rating in right field and his -4.4 rating at first base also leaves much to be desired. Unfortunately, Cuddyer's shaky defense has watered down his significant offensive contributions, especially in recent years. In 2013, despite his strong performance at the plate, he registered a rather pedestrian WAR of 2.4.
Michael and his wife, Claudia, have three children. When he's not on the diamond, Cuddyer likes to indulge in his own favorite childhood pastime: magic. In 2012, Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com asked an audience member for his take on Cuddyer's skills.
"He's blowing guys' minds here," Jason Giambi said of Cuddyer. "[The tricks] are as good as any I've ever seen, and trust me, I live in Vegas and I get to see a lot of those shows. They're pretty incredible."
As Cuddyer told Crasnick, he used the tricks as an icebreaker with his teammates when he arrived in Colorado. Then-GM Dan O'Dowd spoke highly of Cuddyer as a positive figure in the locker room.
"Not only is he a good player — and will be for a significantly long period of time — but if you talk to anybody in the game, he innately just 'gets it.' He challenges people in his own way to be all about the team," O'Dowd said.
Cuddyer loves being in Colorado, owner Dick Monfort wants to keep him, and manager Walt Weiss hopes that he'll return since he "means so much to [the] club, in ways that go beyond the stat sheet." Unfortunately, monetary constraints will probably get in the way of a reunion. Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post recently wrote that it'd be hard to see the Rockies paying even $4-6MM for Cuddyer next season. You never know for sure how the market will break, but that probably won't get it done.
The Pirates, Brewers, and Marlins are among the teams that are expected to shop for a first baseman and the Padres could be added to that list if they don't have confidence in Yonder Alonso's abilities. Meanwhile, the Astros and Mets will be shopping for a corner outfielder and Cuddyer could fit within their budgets. Cuddyer also holds appeal as a DH so we could see a return to the American League in that role.
Expected Contract
If Cuddyer was coming off of something resembling a full season, his contract outlook would be quite different. Given his age and health issues, a one or two-year deal seems likely but another three-year deal probably isn't in the cards.
Still, there will be plenty of teams willing to give Cuddyer a substantial sum of money and it could even rival the average annual value of his three-year, $31.5MM Rockies contract. I predict Cuddyer will land a two-year, $22MM deal this winter. If he stays healthy, it may not be his last big payday either.

Rockies Notes: Payroll, Anderson, Cuddyer, Rotation
The Rockies' payroll will likely remain near its Opening Day mark of $94MM, a team spokesperson tells Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post. This is problematic for the Rockies, Saunders writes, given that Troy Tulowitzki, Carlos Gonzalez and Jorge De La Rosa will combine to earn $48.5MM of that figure next season. Season-ending injuries to Tulowitzki and Gonzalez will make it difficult to extract full prospect value for either star in a potentially cost-saving trade, meaning that the team is likely to have 51.8 percent of its payroll tied up in three players. That, in turn, would make it difficult to adequately address the rotation, bullpen and catching situation this offseason — all of which are areas of need in Denver. Geivett recently reiterated to Saunders that the team has had no discussions about trading either Tulowitzki or Gonzalez
Here's more from Saunders and more on the Rockies…
- Saunders spoke to senior VP of Major League operations Bill Geivett about the team's $12MM option on Brett Anderson. Geivett said that the Rockies "really think he's an impact starter when healthy," but that the option would be discussed following the season. Given the team's payroll constraints, it seems almost impossible to imagine Colorado paying Anderson $12MM after starting just 32 games over the past four seasons.
- Saunders also notes that Michael Cuddyer is a favorite of owner Dick Monfort and manager Walt Weiss, both of whom want the veteran back. However, Saunders feels it's difficult to imagine the Rockies paying even $4-6MM for Cuddyer next season, and I'd wager that he's looking for more than that despite an injury plagued 2014. Cuddyer, 36 next March, has batted .328/.382/.530 in 170 games over the past two seasons.
- Twenty-eight-year-old lefty Yohan Flande will get a couple of starts before season's end in an audition for 2015, writes Saunders' colleague, Nick Groke. Weiss said the organization feels Flande can transition to the bullpen if needed, but they've yet to give up on him as a starting pitcher. MLB.com's Thomas Harding notes that top prospect Eddie Butler, too, will receive a look in the final two weeks. While it seems Colorado is evaluating its internal options, I have to think they'll at least attempt to lure in a veteran starter to complement De La Rosa alongside younger arms such as Butler, Jordan Lyles, Tyler Matzek and, eventually, Jon Gray. Jhoulys Chacin also figures to be in the mix, though he's battled shoulder injuries this season.
- A look at Cot's Contracts reveals that the Rockies currently have about $61.4MM on the books in 2015. That doesn't include arbitration raises for Chacin, Drew Stubbs, Juan Nicasio, Rex Brothers, Tyler Chatwood, Wilin Rosario and Adam Ottavino. Wilton Lopez and Nicasio seem like clear non-tender candidates, and it's possible that a few others could meet that fate as well. Nonetheless, Colorado's glut of forthcoming arbitration raises doesn't seem to leave the team with much wiggle room, if payroll truly is to remain in the $94MM range.

NL Notes: Brewers, Thornton, Cuddyer, Anderson
The Brewers' recent struggles could lead to firings in Milwaukee, Tom Haudricourt of the Journal Sentinel writes. The Brewers fired Ned Yost after an ugly two-week stretch in the midst of a contending season in 2008. Now, after spending the majority of the season in first place, the Brewers run the risk of missing the playoffs — they would just miss the second Wild Card if the season ended today. It's not clear if the Brewers' skid might cause owner Mark Attanasio to want to make moves involving GM Doug Melvin or manager Ron Roenicke. Here's more from the National League.
- Matt Thornton has come up big in the Nationals' bullpen since the Nats claimed him from the Yankees, Tom Schad of the Washington Times writes. Thornton has pitched 9 1/3 innings for the Nats so far, striking out eight batters, walking one and allowing no runs in his first stint as a National Leaguer. "Haven't faced a lot of these guys, so it's kind of all new," Thornton says. "But at the same time, they haven't faced me. So I'm using that to my advantage." MLBTR readers recently ranked Thornton the fifth most impactful August addition of any team, behind Adam Dunn, Jacob Turner, Jonathan Broxton and Josh Willingham.
- Rockies manager Walt Weiss would like to see the team re-sign Michael Cuddyer, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post writes. "I would like to see him back here," says Weiss. "I just think he means so much to our club, in ways that go beyond the stat sheet." Cuddyer has suffered through an injury-plagued season and will be 36 by the time next season starts, but he's hit very well with the Rockies, posting a .331/.380/.546 line in 142 plate appearances in 2014 that's similar to his output over a full season last year.
- It's unclear whether the Rockies will pick up Brett Anderson's $12MM option, Saunders writes. The option contains a $1.5MM buyout. Anderson has been effective this season, but injuries have limited him to just 43 1/3 innings so far, and he hasn't topped 100 innings in a season in 2010. The Rockies need to try to figure out if Anderson's injury troubles are likely to continue, and whether they might be able to lure a better pitcher to Coors — never easy to do — with that $12MM.

Cuddyer Pulled Off Waivers After Hamstring Issue
The Rockies placed first baseman/outfielder Michael Cuddyer on revocable waivers on Sunday, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, but Colorado revoked the waivers after he experienced hamstring discomfort this week (Twitter link).
The injury for Cuddyer, however minor, clearly came at a poor time. It's unclear whether or not the Rockies would have traded the 2013 NL batting champion even if he had not been injured, but they now won't have the opportunity to do so prior to the expiration of his three-year, $31.5MM contract at the end of the season.
A team in need of offense certainly could have benefited from the addition of Cuddyer, who is hitting .331/.386/.533 dating back to the beginning of the 2013 campaign. The 35-year-old, however, is no stranger to the injury bug. He's had four separate DL stints over the course of his current three-year pact and has tallied just 141 plate appearances this season after missing much of the year with a fractured shoulder. (Cuddyer suffered the injury playing third base for the first time since 2010 while filling in for then-injured Nolan Arenado.)
It's not clear at this time which club claimed Cuddyer, but it's unlikely that he'd have escaped the National League on waivers. The Pirates, Braves, Cardinals and Giants are all contending clubs that could use an additional bat and find room for Cuddyer in their lineup. An acquiring club would've had to pay Cuddyer roughly $2.35MM through season's end, had a trade been worked out.
The Rockies could technically place Cuddyer on waivers a second time, but the waivers would no longer be revocable at that point, and Colorado doesn't seem likely to run him through waivers solely to shed his remaining salary.

NL Notes: Taylor, Cuddyer, Hanley, Alvarez
The Nationals will promote top prospect Michael Taylor today, a source tells MLB.com's Bill Ladson. The 23-year-old, previously known more for his bat than his glove, has risen quickly through Double-A and Triple-A this season, hitting .315/.401/.547 with 22 homers and 35 stolen bases along the way. Outfielder Steven Souza was placed on the disabled list with a left shoulder contusion to make room for Taylor. MLB.com ranked Taylor 72nd on the midseason edition of its Top 200 prospects list. Washington will have control of him through at least the 2019 season if he is in the Majors to stay.
Here are some more Sunday morning links from around the senior circuit…
- Michael Cuddyer is focused on getting healthy rather than proving himself to potential free agent suitors or to the Rockies in the season's final weeks, writes Nick Groke of the Denver Post. The 35-year-old, who is finishing up a three-year, $31.5MM contract, has been out since April with a broken bone in his left shoulder. Cuddyer elected to rehab at the lower levels of the minor leagues to strengthen his legs and to once again experience the camaraderie of that environment, he explains. His decision has not been taken for granted by the young players he's encountered thus far, as Rockies 2014 first-rounder Forrest Wall has already picked Cuddyer's brain about preparation for games and his approach at the plate. The Rockies would like to retain Cuddyer, though they aren't sure at what price they'd be comfortable, Groke notes.
- The Dodgers seem resigned to the fact that Hanley Ramirez will be placed on the disabled list with an oblique injury, writes MLB.com's Ken Gurnick. Ramirez has been determined to stay off the DL in his contract year, says Gurnick, but he's still missed 25 starts with various injuries to this point. Ramirez ranked third on the most recent edition of MLBTR's Free Agent Power Rankings, with his lack of durability being a primary reason for his fall from the top spot. A stint on the DL — which would be his fifth since the onset of the 2011 season — certainly won't help his free agent stock.
- Karen Price of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review spoke to Pedro Alvarez and Pirates manager Clint Hurdle about the possibility of Alvarez moving across the diamond to first base. Alvarez, whom Hurdle recently said had lost his starting job at third base, is open to the idea and called it a "no-brainer" rather than offer any negative comments about the move. It'd present the Bucs with an interesting logjam at first, however, as Alvarez ($4.25MM), Ike Davis ($3.5MM) and Gaby Sanchez ($2.3MM) are all due raises on their 2014 salaries via arbitration this winter. Price notes that Sanchez has begun working out over at third base.

West Notes: Padres, Dodgers, Giants, Rockies
There were several notes yesterday on the Padres' search for a new GM. The club interviewed Rangers assistant GM A.J. Preller yesterday, reports MLB.com's Corey Brock, joining prior candidates Larry Beinfest, Logan White of the Dodgers, Ray Montgomery of the Diamondbacks, and Billy Eppler of the Yankees. Today, the team had a sit-down with Red Sox assistant GM Mike Hazen, per Peter Gammons of GammonsDaily.com (via Twitter). Meanwile, Cardinals assistant GM Mike Girsch has withdrawn himself from consideration, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today (Twitter link). As Nightengale further tweets, some potential candidates have expressed a belief that it will take upwards of two to three years to effect a turnaround in San Diego.
Here's the latest trade deadline chatter from the Friars and the rest of the NL West:
- The Padres are asking for a big return to move late-inning righties Joaquin Benoit and Huston Street, reports Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times (via Twitter). A reunion with the Tigers makes sense for Benoit, tweets Jon Morosi of FOX Sports, because the sides parted on good terms.
- The Dodgers are looking into the starting pitching market, particularly after losing Josh Beckett to the 15-day DL, reports Shaikin. Though Los Angeles hopes Beckett's hip impingement will only cause him to miss one start (with the benefit of the All-Star break), the club is readying for a longer absence. Of course, Paul Maholm remains in the fold, and the club has fill-in options at Triple-A, but those appear to be temporary options. Shaikin says that the team lacks the kind of rotation depth that it would prefer, and could pursue either a depth arm (he gives Jake Peavy and Bartolo Colon as hypothetical examples) or a high-end pitcher such as David Price or Cole Hamels.
- Giants GM Brian Sabean says that his team is willing to consider any and all trade proposals, reports Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News. "We've told everybody that everybody we have is in play," said the long-tenured GM. "There are no untouchables in our organization." While he expressed a desire to be patient, he expressed consternation at the team's recent struggles. "Unfortunately, we've leaked oil in a lot of areas," said Sabean. "That further confuses what you think you might want to do or have to do in and around the trade deadline." As far as where an addition could be made, Sabean indicated that many spots are in play: "All our prospects are in play, but at this point we need bullpen help, you can always use another starter, second base, bench help," said Sabean. "Just a lot of areas where you need shoring up and obviously we're not [going to] be able to do that totally in the trade market."
- Last night, we took a look at some comments from Rockies owner Dick Monfort, courtesy of Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post. Notably, he said that he has no plans to deal star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki. This morning, Saunders posted the full transcript of his interview with Monfort, and there is plenty more to cover. Monfort says that the organization's greatest need is starting pitching depth, and said he "would love to have another starting pitcher before the trade deadline," preferably "somebody that we could have control of for a period of time." The club had interest in acquiring Jeff Samardzija, but "the asking price was Eddie Butler and some other stuff," which Monfort found too steep.
- Though Colorado has one of the worst records in the league, Monfort says that the team is not a seller, at least at this point. After weathering the injuries and a tough stretch in the schedule, he said that he is holding out hope that the Rockies can creep back into the wild card picture. Monfort said that he does not anticipate trading starter Jorge De La Rosa or outfielder Michael Cuddyer, who he "would like to figure out a way to keep" beyond this season.

Rockies Links: Cuddyer, De La Rosa, Tulo
Here's the latest out of the Mile High City…
- Michael Cuddyer hasn't spoken to the Rockies about a contract extension, though he tells Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post that he would certainly listen to such an offer. "I love it here….I like [the] guys, I like the organization and I like everything about it. It would definitely be one of the tops on my list," Cuddyer said. The veteran is currently hoping for a good diagnosis on his shoulder injury and hopes he can return to action before the end of the season. Cuddyer is set to be a free agent this winter.
- Jorge de la Rosa is another pending Rockies free agent who could be traded, though could re-sign with Colorado this winter, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman notes. Heyman ranks de la Rosa on the low side of his latest trade value stock watch piece, but the southpaw bounced back from a tough June with a quality start and win over the Dodgers on Saturday.
- With Troy Tulowitzki healthy and producing at an MVP-type level, Fangraphs' Mike Petriello argues that it's time for the Rockies to trade their superstar. Colorado's hopes of contending in the near future look shaky at best, Petriello opines, so there's no point in keeping Tulowitzki around on a losing team.

NL Notes: Polanco, Sellers, CarGo, Cuddyer, Matzek, Draft
The rise of Pirates call-up Gregory Polanco from a virtually unknown international signee to a top prospect has been quite rare in recent history, writes Alex Speier in an ESPN Insider piece. Slowly but surely, the 22-year-old tightened his skills to match his raw tools, and his now-obvious upside emerged.
Here's more from the National League:
- While Polanco is undoubtedly an exciting addition for the Pirates, the team should nevertheless be prepared to sell over the summer, opines Paul Swydan of ESPN.com (Insider link). Russell Martin and Francisco Liriano are among the pieces that the team could consider moving, he says. Meanwhile, the Mets and Padres are other NL clubs that Swydan says should look to move pieces.
- While Swydan does not discuss their situation, the Phillies also seem like possible sellers, though it is hard to know the club's thinking. Corey Seidman of CSNPhilly.com discusses the trade-worthiness of several of the team's possible deadline chips.
- The Mets' struggles this year are bad enough that they have shifted the team's seemingly promising trajectory, writes Kevin Kernan of the New York Post. The team's key cog, third baseman David Wright, says that he remains committed to the Mets and has no desire to be dealt. (Of course, that seems a rather unlikely outcome regardless.) "I knew that when I signed my extension, I knew that things were not going to be easy," he said. "If I wanted the easy way out, I would have signed somewhere else. The challenge of it, the loyalty to the organization, the direction I think we're going, yes, we've gone through some rough stretches … but that is the process."
- The Rockies, who dropped their ninth of ten games tonight, are now dealing with another spate of bad injury news. In addition to placing recent top prospect call-up Eddie Butler on the 15-day DL after his first big league start, the team learned today that it will be without two key veterans for some time. Star outfielder Carlos Gonzalez will undergo exploratory surgery on the left index finger that has bothered him this year, reports Nick Groke of the Denver Post (via Twitter). And right fielder Michael Cuddyer has suffered a fracture of the glenoid socket in his right shoulder, which will keep him out for at least six to eight weeks, as Cody Ulm of MLB.com reports on Twitter. Now well off the pace in the NL West, the Rockies would need a quick turnaround to position themselves as contenders as the trade deadline approaches.
- In need of arms, the Rockies will call up 23-year-old lefty Tyler Matzek to start on Wednesday against the Braves, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports on Twitter. Once a top-25 prospect league-wide and the 11th overall choice in the 2009 draft, Matzek has climbed through the minors even as his prospect shine has dimmed somewhat. After opening the year rated 12th among Colorado prospects by Baseball America, which noted that struggles with consistency and command could push him to the bullpen, Matzek has worked to a 4.05 ERA in his first 66 2/3 innings at the Triple-A level. More importantly, perhaps, he has worked to a career-best 4.2 BB/9 at Colorado Springs while also racking up 8.2 K/9.
- ESPN.com's Keith Law has posted his round-up (Insider link) of the draft haul from National League clubs. He says that the Diamondbacks brought back an impressive haul across the board, and casts some doubt on some of the Cubs' early-round selections while noting that the team went after high-upside arms further down.

The musical banker ...part 1
Dec 14, 2011
On balancing his twin professions/passions, corporate banker and vocalist, V Shankaranarayanan says "it's like having two children..." A job with Citibank and a deep-rooted desire to earn a name for himself in the Carnatic music world keeps him busy round the year. His musical quest began at the six under Vaigal Shri Gnanskandan, a retired AIR producer and one of the foremost disciples of Semmungudi Srinivasa Iyer. Since then, his musical thirst has not been quenched. If he is not in office, one can spot him giving concerts somewhere someplace. When he does not do either of these, Shankaranarayanan is busy teaching Carnatic music to children. His musical ambition is beginning to yield dividends and this December season, he is reasonably booked with a fair share of prime-time evening slots.

I contacted my insurance and got a list of breast pumps to choose from. However, I am a first time mom and have not a clue which one to choose. I did goggle each breast pump, and they all seem like they would be okay, but still I have no idea. I also did e-mail my insurance to see if I could get any information on the exact breast pump they would be covering (manual, electric, etc) because each company has different ones. Anyways I was wondering if you ladies could give me the inside scoop on which out of the list is a good breast pump. Thanks in advance!

Most annoying terms in tabloid papers

I hate the word "flaunting" in any way it's used. Either a lady flaunts her pregnant belly (=dares to go outside or to some event while pregnant, and look happy about the pregnancy) or she "flaunts" her engagement ring (=does not keep her left hand in her pocked/behind her back while outside).
Also "She is showing him what he is missing" about a female who has gone through a break up is really annoying. Yes, women aren't allowed to look good after a break up, they are supposed to "drown their sorrows" at home out of sight.

Impact of instrument error on the estimated prevalence of overweight and obesity in population-based surveys

BMC Public Health 2013, 13:146 doi:10.1186/1471-2458-13-146Published: 18 February 2013
The basis for this study is the fact that instrument error increases the variance of the distribution of body mass index (BMI). Combined with a defined cut-off value this may impact upon the estimated proportion of overweight and obesity. It is important to ensure high quality surveillance data in order to follow trends of estimated prevalence of overweight and obesity. The purpose of the study was to assess the impact of instrument error, due to uncalibrated scales and stadiometers, on prevalence estimates of overweight and obesity.
Anthropometric measurements from a nationally representative sample were used; the Norwegian Child Growth study (NCG) of 3474 children. Each of the 127 participating schools received a reference weight and a reference length to determine the correction value. Correction value corresponds to instrument error and is the difference between the true value and the measured, uncorrected weight and height at local scales and stadiometers. Simulations were used to determine the expected implications of instrument errors. To systematically investigate this, the coefficient of variation (CV) of instrument error was used in the simulations and was increased successively.
Simulations showed that the estimated prevalence of overweight and obesity increased systematically with the size of instrument error when the mean instrument error was zero. The estimated prevalence was 16.4% with no instrument error and was, on average, overestimated by 0.5 percentage points based on observed variance of instrument error from the NCG-study. Further, the estimated prevalence was 16.7% with 1% CV of instrument error, and increased to 17.8%, 19.5% and 21.6% with 2%, 3% and 4% CV of instrument error, respectively.
Failure to calibrate measuring instruments is likely to lead to overestimation of the prevalence of overweight and obesity in population-based surveys.

Local stock index closes lower after 3 days of highs
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—Local stocks took a breather on Wednesday after a three-day winning streak that propelled the main index to record highs.
The Philippine Stock Exchange index shed 39.14 points or 0.6 percent to close at 6,431.35.
Elsewhere across the region, markets were mostly higher due to an improved global economic outlook. At the local market, sentiment remained buoyant but profit-taking was more tempting for some.
By counter, the services (-1.08 percent) and property (-2 percent) counters weighed down the main index the most.
Investors sold shares of SM Prime, AGI, ALI, PLDT, SMIC, AC, BPI, Megaworld, FGEN and MPI. There was profit-taking also on D&L, Bloomberry and Puregold.
On the other hand, BDO, EDC, Metrobank, Petron, URC and SMC bucked the day's downturn. GT Capital also posted gains in heavy volume.

I can't believe he sad that
Ginny-Wife to Erik (together since 1989)
Mom to Ariel (11/06/91), Jessica (12/01/93) and Derek (10/24/08)
at least it was used in proper contex.
So what if she puts it in her report
ds age 7 allergies to peanuts, eggs,
dd age 14, dd 19
Your kid 1, ABA gal 0.
Totally used properly, in context, and an accurate expression of his feelings.
To me, that's actually a sign of lovely progress!
Mom to a hyperlexic prodigious savant who can kill you with her brain. (DD - Feb 09: Landau-Kleffner Syndrome, SPD, Hyperlexia Type III)
I vote with "Team 'That's Progress'!" Plus, it's a fun anecdote to boot!
DD (08/05) - Asperger's/ADHD/Gifted * DS (10/07) - A Little Less Complicated
Mom to ODS 2003 (PDD-NOS & ADHD) & YDS 2008 (mild to moderate autism)
Bethany-mommy to two awesome kiddos:)
Olivia (11-5-09) & Jordan (3-21-11)
Add me to the "That's progress" list. I was once told you weren't fluent in a language until you could swear using proper context. Sounds like he's fluent in English now.
Mom to Vana 9/26/1994 and Vail 4/20/1999 and
* Sparkling Ruby *Vance7/26/2010
Dh agrees with me on this only here could swearing be seen as an accomplishment
ds age 7 allergies to peanuts, eggs,
dd age 14, dd 19
I have to agree with romahen, only with ASD parenting would we celebrate "every" milestone; even, the learning how to swear appropriately and in context moments!

Leave central Rome by luxury coach and travel north to the region of Umbria to the hilltop town of Assisi. A UNESCO World Heritage-listed town, Assisi is best known as the birthplace of Italy's patron saint, St Francis of Assisi. Stop for a walk around town with your guide, seeing the incredible Basilica di San Francesco, which is dedicated to the saint, as well as Santa Maria degli Angeli Church where he is said to have worshiped.
Hop back on board your coach and travel west into Tuscany to visit the enchanting city of Siena. Surrounded by ancient walls, the city is best-known as the venue for the Palio (its colorfully chaotic horse race). Stroll around at leisure, exploring Piazza del Campo where the race takes place each year, and see other city highlights like Siena Cathedral and Palazzo Comunale – Siena's elegant Gothic palace. Return to your coach and travel to Florence in time for dinner at your hotel.
Overnight: 1st Category (4-star) and 2nd Category (3-star) Grand Hotel Mediterraneo or Hotel Raffaello in Florence

Admire Giotto's Bell Tower and learn about Renaissance art in the city from your guide.
Finish your tour back at your hotel, and then spend the rest of your day at leisure. Perhaps take a stroll across Florence's magnificent bridge – the Ponte Vecchio – to visit the bohemian Oltrarno neighborhood, or relax in the beautiful Boboli Gardens (entry own expense). Your evening dinner is included at your hotel.
Overnight: 1st Category (4-star) and 2nd Category (3-star) Grand Hotel Mediterraneo or Hotel Raffaello in Florence
Day 3: Florence - Bologna - Padua - Venice (B, D)
Check out of your hotel after breakfast and travel north out of Tuscany to Bologna in Emilia Romagna. Famously the birthplace of everyone's favorite pasta dish – Spaghetti Bolognese – the foodie haven of Bologna has some pretty magnificent monuments, too. Walk around town with your guide, passing through Piazza Nettuno to see the Fountain of Neptune, and admiring lavish palaces like Palazzo Re Enzo and Palazzo del Podestà.
Leave Bologna after lunch (own expense), and relax on the journey northeast to Padua, the neighboring town to Venice. Enjoy time at leisure here to explore the city's handsome streets, enjoy a coffee in the sun (own expense) or visit its most celebrated monument – St Anthony's Basilica. Meet your guide at the pre-arranged time, and travel to Venice. Check in to your hotel and enjoy dinner.
Overnight: 1st Category (4-star) Hotel Carlton (Grand Canal) or 2nd Category (4-star) Hotel Delfino in Venice Mestre
Day 4: Venice (B, D)

On a walking tour admire highlights of the famous water-filled city like Piazza San Marco –- home to Doge's Palace and St Mark's Basilica –- and the elegant Rialto Bridge. Discover where to go to buy the best Murano glass and then finish your tour either in town or back at your hotel.
Explore the city independently in the afternoon, and make the most of the opportunity to lose your bearings in one of the world's most romantic cities; explore the footpaths lining the canals and cross from elegant bridge to even-more-elegant bridge as you get to know this incredible city. Return to your hotel in time for dinner and spend your night at leisure.
Overnight: 1st Category (4-star) Hotel Carlton (Grand Canal) or 2nd Category (4-star) Hotel Delfino in Venice Mestre
Day 5: Venice - Montepulciano - Rome (B)
Leave Venice after breakfast and return south to Tuscany, traveling by luxury coach. Rather than a city stop, your tour's last visit is to the hilltown of Montepulciano in a picturesque area known as Val d'Orcia. As you explore the town independently, soak up the views of the gently rolling Chianti hills that surround you, and admire the gorgeous Renaissance architecture that abounds. The town is best known for its wine production, so make the most of your time here to shop for quality Tuscan wines. After enjoying lunch (own expense), return to your coach and travel south to Rome, where your tour ends.
Traveler Reviews
Reviewed by: John P, United Kingdom, May 2015
Excellent tour!!! Our tour director, Clara, was full of energy and kept us smiling for the whole 5 days. I was fortunate to have a good group of people of the tour and there was a good atmosphere. There were a number of nationalities I was the only European but everyone made an effort to talk to each other. Clara said in high season there is a bus each for English and Spanish languages There was a decent mix of age groups too, 60 50, 30 25.
We spent just enough time in each place I thought, with two hour stop offs in Assisi, Siena, Bologna and Padua, and you could go explore yourself. I'm not that interested in churches but the cities were all nice, and I thought Assisi was particularly impressive. Florence and Venice speak for themselves.
The hotels were good, no complaints, but I'm happy with a good bed, breakfast and no noise. I stayed in the Mediterreneano and Carlton, and I think the Carlton was a bit nicer. It was also good being in Venice, but wasn't ideal being split from the rest of the group.
The meals were well planned and were good, not great, but good. The lunch in Florence was the best in my opinion, simple but good flavours.
Clara showed us where to go when in the 4 stop offs and gave us a night tour in Venice. There are some extras you can pay for, a tour in each of Florence and Venice with a guide which I took, and were very good. I got to see the David and San Marco's Basilica. There was the obligatory stop off at somewhere you can spend some money the Murano Glass was most popular - jewellery for the ladies!!!. I didn't take the bus trip to Pisa from Florence or the gondola ride in Venice. had already been in Pisa but a couple of hours there is all you need so it's a good option
I had a great time, met good people and saw some amazing places.

Family Guy's latest direct-to-video Star Wars spoof!< read all 1 reviews
No, not that kind of trap, but yet another Family Guy spoof of the Star Wars saga, now available on exciting blu ray! Does it hold up? In a word, yes. It's not as good as Blue Harvest or Something, Something, Something Dark Side, but it's quite watchable and entertaining.
The story begins with our heroes sitting around watching TV. The lights go out, Stewie says, "Does this mean we're gonna do Jedi?" and Peter says, "Might as well get this over with." From there we go to the opening crawl, wherein it's revealed, possibly accurately, that the Family Guy people didn't want to do this one. We go from there to the usual set of sight gags and familiar characters in new roles, including appearances by Roger, Klaus, Rallo and Tim the Bear. You get Meg in the expected spot, though the addition of someone very unexpected as the Rancor was quite fun.
There's several times I laughed out loud, including the Emperor's efforts to get Luke angry by dissing on Seth Green, or Peter/Han's efforts to make the movie "darker". While overall it wasn't quite as good as the other ones, or as funny as the TV series at its best, it was still very good and I feel happy that I bought it.
Extras include a digital copy that I was able to put onto my computer, but wasn't able to get it onto my phone using the PocketBlu feature. I spent several frustrating minutes trying before I gave up. There's also the expected commentary, a drawing lesson, "sock puppet" stuff and more! It's not something you'll really be likely to buy for the extras, but it's good to have them there.
Overall this was a purchase I was quite pleased with, and if you don't own the previous installments, you can get this, plus those, in a big ole boxed set set for a reasonable price. Not bad, and worth seeing!

Will You Ever Be Able To Retire?
Monday - 2/21/2011, 4:00am EST
When it comes to being able to retire, federal and postal workers are in better shape than most Americans. Because:
- Those who retire under the CSRS program (or the CSRS offset system) will get an annuity fully indexed to inflation, based on their highest 3-year average salary and length of service. They also have their Thrift Savings Plan accounts.
- Those who retire under the FERS program (the majority of current working feds) will get a smaller civil service benefit. But the inflation-adjustments don't begin until they are age 62 and they are subject to diet COLAs (cost of living adjustments) that are one percentage point less than the cost of living as measured by the Consumer Price Index. FERS employees get Social Security (which they pay into) and are eligible for a total match of 5 percent from the government to their TSP accounts.
But because of the stock market hit a couple of years back, many TSP accounts suffered big time and are only now returning to their pre-crash levels. Feds are also under a 2-year pay freeze which Congress may extend another three years.
By contrast, a new Harris Poll indicates that 34 percent of American adults have no retirement savings whatsoever. And many of them work for companies that no longer offer pensions of any kind (if they ever did). Most of them will be dependent on Social Security benefits. For more on that, click here.
So will you be able to afford to retire when your numbers (age and service time) come up?
To find out, listen to the For Your Benefit radio show here on Federal News Radio. The show starts at 10 a.m., EST. And this one, if you are ever planning to retire, is for you!
Bob Leins, the host of the show, is a tax expert. Tammy Flanagan is well known in the federal community as an expert on federal benefits. Karen Schaeffer is a certified financial planner who specializes in members of the federal family. They will discuss ways to get the most out of retirement. And they'll take your calls at 202.465.3080.
Since today's a holiday, take time out to listen (again, 10 a.m. EST) either here on www.federalnewsradio.com (click the Listen Live icon) or in the Washington area on your home or car radio at 1500 AM.

CR passes House, step freeze left behind
Budget behemoth passes House without proposed amendments to withhold funding for within-grade increases or for promotions of federal employees. The House version of the continuing resolution proposes cutting $61 billion from hundreds of federal programs. The Senate is expected to propose holding spending at current levels.
Talk of shutdown heats up Capitol Hill
With a March 4 deadline to pass a stopgap spending measure - and not much compromise in sight - the rhetoric about a government shutdown gains urgency.
Social Security prepares for potential furloughs
The Social Security Administration said it wants to start talking to the employees' union about a potential furlough as House Republicans propose about $1.7 billion in cuts for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Stewart's decision was announced Wednesday and Jeff Burton will once again replace him in the No. 14 Chevrolet. Burton also drove Stewart's car at Michigan last week.
Stewart has been in seclusion since the Aug. 8 incident at an upstate New York dirt track that remains under investigation. Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero has said investigators don't have any evidence at this point to support criminal intent by Stewart.

They sell on eBay as well.
Holders from other makers may work as well. I found an ARCAP Combination Holder that worked on my camera, its sheaths are interchangable for different sized film, unfortunately it only came with one sheath.
Make sure the holders you find come with film sheaths.

Most states met pension fund obligations over last 13 years
Of 112 state-wide and state-sponsored public pension plans in the U.S., all but six states paid at least 75% of their annual required contribution (ARC); the average plan received 89.3% of its ARC. (Spotlight, March 2015)
28 states have some type of pension forfeiture laws or policies in place
In about half of all states, public employees who are convicted of a crime may lose some, or all, of their pensions. The nature of offense varies greatly among states and so does the portion of pension withheld. (Summary compilation, 2015)
Average investement return assumption for public plans is 7.69%
Among the 126 plans measured in the Public Fund Survey, more than one-half have reduced their investment return assumption since fiscal year 2008. (Issue Brief, May 2015)
Public Fund Survey More than 85 percent of all state and local government pension assets and members in the U.S. are represented in the Public Fund Survey, which is maintained by NASRA. Survey data is taken primarily from retirement system annual financial reports, and also comes from actuarial valuations, benefits guides, and interviews with retirement system staff members. It is intended to promote sound public retirement system policies and administration by increasing transparency and understanding of the public retirement system community. The database requires separate login; the Summary of Findings for fiscal year 2013 is available here.

from Flipside #36, December 1982
Ok, all you people are out there bitching about how fucked the Misfits are - but do you bother to ask their side of the story? Nooooooo, you just kick them when they're down like the mindless geks you pretend to be so against. Shit, haven't you ever been pissed off! It's not the first time someone ever hit anyone with a guitar, like when Sid did it, it was cool, right? Well here's a chat with the Misfits on that particular subject. If you are the kid who got hit, we'd like to hear your side of the story, but that's all - no more eyewitness accounts because that's just stirring up the mud.
Al: So what happened that night?
Glen: Well basically it's just that... that... it got really out of hand. For ALL the bands on the bill. They were throwing beer cans at us, and our drummer jumped into the audience and a lot of kids jumped on top of him. It was either break it up or fuck our tour, so you know, that was the course we took.
Al: And there was an el Cabong, was that really necessary?
Glen: Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, what would anybody else do in that situation? It's a split second thing. That whole situation was fucked. We did the whole country and we come here and they think it's the cool thing to throw beer cans. It happened to all the bands, Fear went up there and got a lot of shit, you know, we don't take that kind of shit. We don't care what anybody else thinks, it's just what we do, if we don't want anybody throwing shit at us that's it, fine, what do I gue two fucks if that makes us rock art or something, we don't care. Well they say it's not that we like you or not but here in Frisco we throw beer cans at everybody, well fuck you. Not empty beer cans either, that's still fucked, but full ones.
Al: Doyle (Doyle did the deed), what was that particular doing?
Doyle: He was fucking with us that's all.
Glen: He (Googy) was going down, there were just like fists all over we did get a lot of support after the gig, no matter what you read in all the yellow journalism magazines, there were just like 20-25 assholes who wanted to fuck with us, who wanted to fuck with anybody that night. They fucked with the other bands and the other bands jusd did their set, fine. Now if Googy didn't jump in, but Googy did jump in because he got pissed off at some beer can and it was not cool enough to have jsut that one person fight with him, a little riot had to develop.
Al: Well that kid was an instigator...
Doyle: Fuck he was the one that started it...(garbled)...
Glen: There's a lot of shit that goes with it, with that contingent, like rumors that we raped a 13 year old girl at gunpoint, all this other bullshit...
Al: Is there still a lawsuit against you guys?
Glen: No, I talked to someone about it last night and they said the lady was just forgetting it. If anything did happen we might have had to pay for the hospital bills but even then they have to sue the club first I think. That guy who just put us on at Florentine, (Wes) told us that they have to sue him. And they don't really have a case because the kid was provoking the band by throwing beer cans. I forget what the law term is called, but anyway it's old shit. We've only gotten two bad letters about it, the rest have been more T-shirt orders. A lot of guys hit people in the head with guitars it's just that night - I'm not saying it's cool to hit people with guitars - we were just singled out for it. I mean Johnny Thunders killed someobdy with his guitar, and Flipper, Frisco's heartthrob had jsut hit somebody with a guitar just before we got there. I don't know why we were singled out, maybe because we're form N.Y. Saying "it smells of record compny" when we give out buttons and shit we pay for that ourselves, we paint our amps, we pay for that, WHAT record company? Slash has done nothing fr us but put the album out, we recorded it, it's bullshit.
Al: I guess you saw that cartoon in Maximum Rock and Roll.
Doyle: I thought it was cool.
Glen: Yeah, at least we got dicks instead of cunts ya know!
Al: Ok, enough, hey Robo!! How do you like the Misfits?
Robo: Great band, really good band. I'm really glad I'm in it.
Al: That's it.
Robo: That's it.
Al: Are you gonna grow a Devil Lock?
Robo: Well if it grows it grows!
Al: Are they different from Black Flag?
Robo: A bit yeah.
Al: Like how?
Robo: Song-wise, but it's still energy...
Al: No mreo break-neck touring...
Robo: Well we haven't done too much heavy touring YET, but we plan to. At this point we have to start touring to survive.
Doyle: Yeah, everbody now is not working.
Glen: THis is like our first big tour where we don't just hit one region and htne go home. Tell all the fiend club members that that live EP will be out really soon, soon as we get back we'll have some money.
Al: How many in the fiend club?
Glen: Last time you said 100 and it was like 500, and there's a lot more now so it's getting hectic - that's another thing, I don't know who hates us in Frisco cause all's we get is t-shirt orders!
Al: Is Robo doing good?
Glen: Oh yeah! Except "Robo, four beats instead of three!" (laughter)
Al: Most drumemrs are never even noticed, but Robo is like...
Glen: We played in D.C. before Robo and this kid jumps on stage and opens his jacket and his shirt says "Robo is God" and then he jumps down! (laughter and husteria, Robo turns red)
Al: Why Robo why?
Robo: I don't know. There's a Robo fan club in uh Lansing! (more laughter)
Glen: It's his shorts. We never even thought of getting Robo as a drummer, Black Flag had suggested it but I thought he gave up drumming. Then one day I got this phone call "Waas goeing ahn". (more laughter) So we flew him out and that was it, it's working out good. (The rest of this interview was talk about George Germain - which is quite a long story - you would have to ask the Misfits.)

I need to know some points regarding your query.
How long are you having this?
How long the diarrhea persist?
Did you have any test or treatment?
Do you have any other symptom or previous illness
Thank you.
Ask Your Own Health Question
replied 4 years ago.
First let me tell you that I had blood drawn and everything was OK.
The gurgling and bubbling has been going on since mid July but the nausea just started happening two weeks ago. I feel it when I eat.
I went to a gastroenterologist today and he thought it might be a parasite i might have contratcted on my trip in June to Italy/Spain. I really don't think so.
My internist put me on Dexilant, he thought I had an ulcer.
I don't have any other illnesses and I am not on any other drugs.
My diarreah has been going on for two/three days.
I notice that when I eat, the gurgling and bubbling works overtime. I feel like there is gas trapped that cannot escape. I also wake up to burp, it gives me relief.
Dr. Saha
replied 4 years ago.
Thank you for the information,
When diarrhea is present, you should have stool test to exclude any infection.
In reflux, gastritis, H. pylori infection of the upper GI tract there can be gas formation.
Otherwise irritable bowel syndrome can be possible if the other causes are excluded.
Other causes of excess gas, diarrhea can be due to inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis etc.
When it is continuing for a few months, gastroenterologist can do colonoscopy.
As the symptoms are persisting, you should consult gastroenterologist for examination and investigations to find out the cause and treatment as it is necessary.
Please feel free for any follow up query.

Relist: Answer quality.
I don't think the Dr. listened to my query. I told him that I had been to a GI doctor and he suggested I see a GI doctor. That isn't exactly helping.
Dr. Saha
replied 4 years ago.
I know that you visited gastroenterologist today.
If there is no infection, you will need upper GI endoscopy or colonoscopy to find out the cause.
These procedures are done by gastroenterologist.
If all the tests are negative irritable bowel syndrome can be possible.
Some dietary measures can help.
You can try to avoid foods like-
milk products,
sugar rich foods,
fatty foods,
gas-producing foods like beans, cabbage, radish, broccoli etc.
alcohol etc.
Please feel free for any follow up query.
Ask Your Own Health Question
replied 4 years ago.
Since I don't have pain in my stomach he did suggest that I avoid fruits with skin on them, dairy products and raw veggies.
BTW, I have a colonoscopy appointment in two weeks. Since I had my blood tests come back normal, should I be worried about polyps or cancer of the colon? I'm just so nervous and do really appreciate your help. Thanks
Dr. Saha
replied 4 years ago.
Yes you can try to avoid those food & see its effect.
Colonoscopy will give you the final answer but some symptoms that are more indicative of cancer like blood in stool or mass in abdomen are not there.

The removable seat cushions are made with a UV- and moisture-resistant washable polyester fabric. The Cabo chair swivels to make reaching for that drink easy.
