Okay, I am not opening up the floor on New Year's Day for a Juan Pierre discussion. But how did I miss the fact up to now that he has a no-trade clause, as Ken Gurnick mentions at MLB.com?

Without anyone debating the merits of Pierre on this fine day, who wants to tell me just how oblivious I have been? (Or if Gurnick possibly made a New Year's mistake?)

Update: The Dodgers gave me confirmation that Pierre does not have a no-trade clause. Mystery solved.

Well, no one noticed that before. Maybe he will waive it if he realizes he won't be in CF, and won't even get regular playing time in LF? If he could be assured that he would be traded to a team that needs a CF, wouldn't he do that?

My first and last post this year that metions Pierre.

Happy New Year! Time to start making waffles!

1 - I think he would. But still ... not to drop another bomb, but to think people complained about Drew's out clause.

Not that I want to start that debate again either ... so let's forget I said it.

Could Gurnick be wrong about the no-trade clause? Because you'd think someone would've mentioned it before now. Certainly Ned could've used it to answer a lot of Pierre trade speculation questions from reporters after the Jones signing by saying "Pierre has a no-trade clause."

5.   Jon Weisman
4 - The more no one claims to have seen it before, the more I wonder. It's an odd time for the news to come out for the first time, and even Gurnick, I believe, had suggested recently that Pierre might be traded.

Did he get confused with Jones, whose contract I believe was announced with a no-trade clause?

I was wondering if I should make a New Year's resolution not to mention Pierre again. I kinda went overboard last year.

Then I come to the site... and it turns out that U2 was right! Nothing changes on New Year's Day!

A new year... and, let's hope, a new Pierre.

For those keeping score, the Dodger float is about 20 away. It's #50, and they just had the All-Kamehameha float at #29.

Whether Gurnick is correct or not doesn't matter, since only a team interested in making Pierre its everyday CF would accept Pierre in trade, and the Dodgers would have no problem inducing Pierre to waive the no-trade clause, if they even had to. The Dodgers would just tell Pierre that as a Dodger he would only be a bench player.

No B1 this year. That's always been the highlight for me because it would circle over my house before the parade started.

The guy on top of the float looks like Dallas McPherson.

I would like to know why the float has #50 batting. Eric Stults was used mostly as a reliever and had a grand total of 12 AB this year:

MLB4U doesn't have the no-trade clause, either. It'd be nice if Gurnick got it wrong, but it doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility that no reporter had bothered to ask about it, before.

I'm not willing to get excited about it until there's any reason to believe it matters. I still assume Colletti likes Pierre.

2008-01-01 11:04:21
23.   Izzy
Not to make things worse, but doesn't he have something in his contract about getting to play every game too, sort of like a "no benching" clause? Probably tied to his chase of "iron man" record. I can't imagine a GM giving a contract with both clauses though. That would be unthinkable.
2008-01-01 11:10:32
24.   Bob Timmermann
A "no benching" clause in a contract would likely not be enforceable.
2008-01-01 11:19:50
25.   Bob Timmermann
And I think a "no benching" clause would be unenforceable because such a clause would:
1) potentially affect the salaries or future salaries of other players
2) affect the playing conditions of a game.
3) completely destroy the roles of labor and management in the game.

If a player could have a "no benching" clause, what would then prevent a player from ever being fined or disciplined in any way?

2008-01-01 11:21:13
26.   Jon Weisman
23 - No, he does not.

People somehow drew that conclusion when he said "it's in my contract to play 162 games." It was just a figure of speech.

23 - I'd be happy to provide a chair if they can't put him on the bench.

On another topic - mlbtraderumors.com has an interesting link to a wikipedia entry on a 21 year old pitcher now throwing for the Nippon Ham Fighters. Apparently he's the new Japanese pitching hero, since most of their others have come over here. Half Japanese, half Iranian which is already very interesting.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yu_Darvish

2008-01-01 11:22:35

Off the top of my head, people I saw on the float: Penny, Loney, Kuo, Karros, Parker, Ann Meyers, Jamie Jarrin, Vinny, Nancy Bea, Tommy Lasorda, and I think Nomar.

I doubt Darvish will be coming stateside for a while.

To get Darvish to come to the US before he is eligible to be posted, some team would have to fork over hundreds of million of dollars to the Nippon Ham people.

29 -

No telling what the Yanks or Red Sox might do with the money they set aside for Santana if they don't get him, although Darvish has apparently announced he has no desire to come over here anytime in the immediate future

2008-01-01 11:40:05
31.   Bob Timmermann
Nippon Ham could not receive enough money from the Yankees and Red Sox that would offset the cost of them losing one of the best pitchers in the country and making their fans think they are the Florida Marlins of Japan.

Darvish is really young and I wouldn't be convinced he would be an instant success in the U.S. He would be good, but I can't imagine he would start out any better than Matsuzaka.

31 - We're getting so many of the Japanese stars over here now that I wonder how long it will be until MLB decides to put a team or teams in Japan? Logistically it might be a huge headache, but I still wonder.

I guess by most standards, Japanese ball is no better than AAA, but I wonder what the average Japanese fan feels about the U.S. grabbing so many of their good players. Maybe they think of it as an honor, or maybe it really ticks them off.

32-When Matsui first came over here, the nightly Japanese sports news would start off with updates on Ichiro and Matsui. Then, in a slightly melancholic tone, the announcer would say, "Now let's turn to Japanese professional baseball. . ."

I've read that the most logical thing for MLB to do is to just buy NPB. There might be cultural barriers to this, but it makes sense. It would stabilize player defections and also MLB would be able to help market the game better in Japan.

As bad as you might think MLB's marketing is, NPB's is a thousand times worse.

It seems like more than a few on ITD, including myself just learned from Gurnick that Pierre has a no trade clause. You are definately not alone. This doesn't look good for Ethier. Happy New Year BTW.

Not that he should bat anywhere else in the lineup, but Pierre batting 8th just doesn't make any sense. He's not gonna sacrifice with the pitcher behind him, so that "part of his game" is taken away. But if he can't bunt with runners on base, he's just gonna vulturize even more than he did last year.

It would make more sense to bat him 9th (if he's gonna be in the lineup), with the pitcher batting 8th. That way, the pitcher could bunt guys off of first, and Pierre could move runners up with grounders, rather than forcing them out at 2nd with bunts and grounders.

2008-01-01 12:28:30
42.   willhite
41 -
Agreed. 9th would be better than 8th but could Ned actually handle having his 45 mil signing batting behind the pitcher? Of course, if Torre wanted to put him there, I doubt there would be an argument. I'm not sure Grady could have gotten away with that.

It might also give Furcal more fastballs to look at which could also be an advantage.

Yesterday's Daily Racing Forum listed the Dodgers at 10-1 to win the NL. 10-1. They may not be the favorite but 10-1. For three quarters of the season they had one of the best records in baseball. That was with JP in CF. No Schmidt or Wolf and Nomar blocking Loney for half the year. This year Loney, Kemp play enitre year. Jones in CF and arguable pitching upgrades. I'll be taking that 10-1.

From Gurnick's latest:
Colletti essentially repaired what went wrong last offseason. Jones is an upgrade in center field from either J.D. Drew or Juan Pierre

49 Sportsbetting.com, a website I use strictly for informational purposes, has the odds for the NL pennant a little different:

Arizona Diamondbacks 11 - 1
Atlanta Braves 11 - 1
Chicago Cubs 4 - 1
Cincinnati Reds 17 - 1
Colorado Rockies 9 - 1
Florida Marlins 75 - 1
Houston Astros 25 - 1
Los Angeles Dodgers 7 - 1
Milwaukee Brewers 11 - 1
New York Mets 5 - 1
Philadelphia Phillies 5 - 1
Pittsburgh Pirates 75 - 1
San Diego Padres 7 - 1
San Francisco Giants 40 - 1
St Louis Cardinals 11 - 1
Washington Nationals 75 - 1

The Cubs are actually the favorite. I think the odds for the NL West teams are a little long simply because the NL West is gonna be really tough this year. Incidentally, the Dodgers are 20-1 to win the World Series.

2008-01-01 13:40:52
54.   LAT
Also from Gurnick:
Of course, Torre's job has already been made much easier than that facing predecessor Grady Little because most of the sour veterans have already been cut loose through the departures of 13 free agents.

I guess the sourness was all Gonzo. Kent, Nomar and Lowe were as happy go lucky as ever.

55.   Bumsrap
Gurnick's article was the first time I read anything about a no trade clause. If Pierre agrees to be traded he no doubt will list the teams he will agree to accept a trade. He might want money to wave that clause. But with all that charactor in him, a trade should not be a problem. And, he might make a great fourth outfielder/lefty pinch hitter.

If the Dodgers keep him as a pinch hitter, pinch runner, extra outfielder, he serves as a reminder to McCourt that many times it is better to not do something than to act in haste.

Mets and Phillies at 5-1. Are they kidding. The Mets have done nothing except go backwards. The rotation is worse. They are likely to get far less offense from their new catcher. And they are comming off career lows for Delgado and Reyes. (Although the same could be said for A. Jones)

The Mets and Phillies have an easier path to the playoffs than any of the NL West teams. I think the Dodgers, Padres and D-backs are all better teams, but that's not how these odds are calculated, strictly speaking.

Were I betting man, I might think the Diamondbacks are a value bet at 11-1.

Huh? Drew wasn't on the team last year and didn't play CF.

I think he's referring to the fact that Colletti was planning on Drew moving to CF to replace Lofton when J.D. "surprised" him by opting out and then Ned grabbed Pierre.

right now, trading pierre is a pipe dream. i don't think there's a huge market for him. and now that we've signed Jones we'd be selling pretty low. but starting the season with Pierre as a bench player could give the dodgers a very solid chip at the trade deadline.... meanwhile, off point, i was about to write something about how Illinois wouldn't win 6 games in the Pac 10. but then the guy just ran back an interception 30 yards or so... i still think 'SC plays tougher teams every other week...

61 You can't be serious. UCLA nearly won 6 games in the Pac-10. A game between the Big Ten's best team and the Pac 10's number two wouldn't be nearly this close. In the meantime, Michigan, who ties with Illinois in the Big Ten, just finished beating Florida, who is a better team than USC.

Speaking of ignorance--make that arrogance--here's a link to an item on Boras' ego taking a hit from the A-Rod/Yankees fiasco. It should help get everyone's New Year off to a good start, since Boras is so universally loved and admired here....

Excerpt: "A-Rod might not be the most popular guy in the game, but don't think he didn't do some serious damage to Boras' image. He basically called the guy a lying weasel on national TV. Nobody in the business is shedding any tears for Boras, believe me, but he took a serious hit."

Item also says Boras has tried to call A-Rod. But A-Rod won't take the calls.

I've created an attack ad about regfairfield's softness on the Pierre Situation, but I don't have enough money to buy air time for it. I'm hoping the national media will pick it up, anyway, and show it for free.

Actually, how much does movie theater advertising cost? If the National Guard can run that fifteen (or whatever) minute music video before every movie in the country, I could maybe pop for a screen or two. Preferably somewhere near when Reg (or, better, his parents) live. "You're not really a Pierre-lover are you, honey? There was this ad at the movie theater, but I can't believe it's true. I thought we'd raised you better than that... (in the backround: You're killing your mother, son; I hope you're proud of yourself!)"

75 - I had a summer internship at KABC-TV in 1986. At one point, I was logging all the commercials and the dollars paid for them. Middle of the night was well under $50 a pop and I often wondered if I should just get some friends together to just buy some air time for no reason.

That was also my summer of gophering for AM Los Angeles with Steve Edwards and Christina Ferrare ... and making a diving catch in the outfield in a weekend softball game next to Mark Coogan.

119 and all USC related posts

Excuse me, but I believe a significant part of the SC team was injured for that Stanford game. ANY team with that many injuries might enter the same fate. Yes, overconfidence... but even so, teams CAN improve mentally and physically over the year.

Heck, Michigan lost to Appalachian state at the beginning of the year, but beat Florida today. Let's put to bed any notion that Michigan is not a bowl worthy team.

Today, SC clobbered Illinois, the same team that, yep, BEAT the Ohio State Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium! Imagine if the Trojans played Georgia instead. It might have been closer than the debacles we saw at the Rose and Sugar bowls tonight.

If Ohio State doesn't get blown out by LSU next week, you can bet I'm going to make a case for SC being the best overall team at this current moment.

That's the last you will hear from me the SC fan this season. The defense rests...

ToyCannon: I'll be at the Clips game Wed night. Section 111, row 10. I'll have my Dodgers jacket and some Clippers gear on. You have my cell number if you are going to the game.

LAT: If you want some more suggestions for Rome and Florence, tell us how long you plan on being in each place. There are some day trip to consider. There is a lot more to see in Rome than in Florence, but Florence and that entire area has a great atmosphere. There is a GREAT and CHEAP restaurant in Florence called Garibaldi's. I got the address out of the Let's Go tour book. There are tourist meals that include two courses, a vegetable (salad or fries for some reason), bread, AND WINE! All a fixed price, lots of choices too.

My biggest piece of advice is to use the potties before touring the Coliseum. There is a bit of a line to get into the building, and if you get the audio tour, it takes about an hour to walk around the arena. There are no potties in there, and if you leave to use one outside, you can't get back in.

Also, be VERY mindful of women and children carrying a folded newspaper. There is a bit of pickpocketing going on near the tourist sites, especially in Rome.

My favorite gelato is pistacio. Gelato in Italy is great. Watch for metal tins rather than plastic ones holding the gelato. That tells you if it is freshly handmade (tin) or frozen (plastic). The stuff out of the tins is better. There is gelato everywhere.

I had that brand of soymilk with my cereal this morning. But here's the thing:

I compared "plain" (i.e. sweetened) soymilk with cow's milk, and cow's milk actually has more sugar per serving. IIRC, cow's milk has 11-12 grams, compared to 6 for soymilk. So, sweetened soymilk has roughly half the sugar of regular milk.

154. I still don't know how you put a team that gave up 445 yards to Illinois as the best team in the country. And this is when they are supposed to be playing well. I mean Western Illinois only gave up 400 yards to the same offense, not to mention the 253 yards that Michigan surrendered.

Truly awful stuff, and I generally have no problem with soy products (I spent a summer working in an ag sciences lab where all we did was try to perfect the texture of a soy chicken and grew to love the stuff).

Dumb question: Do you think the Rose Bowl made more money by hosting Illinois instead of Georgia? All along I thought "yes" which is why we had this debacle instead of SC vs Georgia.

Illinois had a great year (for them) but I think the proof is in the pudding that they aren't really in the class of even Michigan right now.

I was just thinking right now: what would have happened if Arizona State won the Pac 10... they'd be in the Rose, while SC could have played Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. On the other hand, SC might have been in the Holiday bowl instead playing Texas. Either way, it would have been a better bowl outcome.

The Rose Bowl probably makes the same amount of money every year regardless of who plays. The question is if the all ancillary things around the Rose Bowl made more money.

Having USC playing, does make things worse for hotels in the area. I would assume Illinois fans are going to spend around the same amount of money as Georgia fans.

160 The Big 10 and SEC were horribly overrated this year. Arkansas looked weak, Tennessee looked weak, Kentucky looked weak, Florida looked weak, Wisconsin looked weak, Illinois looked weak.

Didnt SC hold Mike Hart to something like 20 yards last year? And SC's front 4 are much tougher than last year IMO. There isnt an O line in the country that can handle that front four.

Honestly, the only teams I see giving SC a run would be Missouri, LSU or Georgia. Outside of them, no one comes close to beating SC.

Seems like we're blaming the Rose Bowl for permitting the BCS System to poach Ohio State, instead of just blaming the BCS system for doing the poaching. There's nothing wrong with the best Pac 10 team's playing the best Big 10 team at the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day. It's a glorious thing. The only problem is when the pointy heads started fixing it so that people would care about the lesser bowls, instead of the only good one.

169. How can anyway say that the Big-10 was over-rated this year when they were universally considered the worst BCS conference for most of the year? How can you be overrated when you are considered the worst? If there isn't an O-line in the country that can handle that front four, then why did USC give up so much yardage to Illinois? And to be perfectly honest, USC would destroy Missouri. They can't handle a physical running game with a decent quarterback, which is why Oklahoma handled them both times they played. I'd put Oklahoma, Georgia, USC, and LSU in terms of the teams you could argue are the best right now and probably in that order.

172. The good bowl died when the SWC ended and the Cotton Bowl became irrelevant.

174- Yeah, watching Notre Dame beat Texas A&M every year must have been terrific! Wish there were some way to recapture that magic. . .

175. As opposed to watching USC blow-out Michigan every year? My earliest Cotton Bowl memory is of Texas A&M destroying Notre Dame and stealling Tim Brown's towel. Greatest Bowl game ever.

Just to add onto Andrew's point, if the best from each conference can't meet, the best thing to do is just scrap the tradition for one year and just pick a better matchup.

I don't know. The BCS bowls are nice, but they're not the end all be all.

My favorite unheralded bowls to date are the Holiday Bowl and particularly the Capital One Bowl. Captial One has delivered year after year. I look forward to the Capital One bowl more than the Sugar Bowl sometimes!

179. The Capital One Bowl was better when it was affiliated with the ACC. I loved fooling myself into believing Clemson might be good because they beat an also-ran from some other conference.

unrelated note: if the Lakers pull another short shorts stunt against a top team in the Eastern Conference again, I'm going to scream.

Tradition is great. I think we need to get back to the tradition where Texas goes to the Rose Bowl every year.

If you're mad at the McCourts for raising the parking price to $15 -- and if you're like me, you are -- check out the article linked at Bronx Banter.

Gameday price to park your car at New Yankee Stadium in 2010: $29. That rises to $35 in 2014.

My argument is just about the opposite of that. I'm saying the NCAA should embrace regionalism, and stop trying to make me care about the University of Georgia's football team. I know I'm not the target audience, but the number of people who can be gotten to care about Georgia, no matter how good it is, has got to be pretty small.

There are too many teams for a national system to really work. And relegation won't work, either, because nobody would tolerate USC's not playing Notre Dame and UCLA every year. So we should all just accept that we'll never know whether LSU is better than USC, and we should accept that it doesn't really matter whether they are--the same way we accept that we don't really know whether the Cubs are better than the (Ham) Fighters. We accept it because we don't really care. Embrace the indifference!

Sheesh. I remember when it only cost $12 to park your car at Yankee Stadium. And that was like five years ago.

173 I think Darren McFadden is about as physical a runner as you will see. How did that turn out? Missouri couldnt beat Oklahoma, but they are still a good team.

The SC game was over after the first drive, I dont really care how many yards they compile if we win in that fashion. SC has the 4th best run defense in the country YPG wise at 79. What did 400 something yards do for Illinois?

Regarding Oklahoma, Pete Carroll made Bob Stoops look like a Pop Warner coach the last time those two teams met.

And yes, Ohio St. playing for the National Championship tells me the Big 10 is overrated. Go back and watch some tape of that Illinois v Ohio St. game and tell me that team should be playing LSU for the honor of being called the best team in the nation. It's laughable really.

184 I bet you've just inspired someone to make a baseball ratings system to compare the Ham Fighters with the Cubs.

I guess you could get mad about that, but who'd drive a car to Yankee Stadium? I assumed most folks took the subway or the bus from nearby.

The only people who like the old system are Andrew, I, and the Tournament of Roses Committee however.

I don't think we have a quorum for a cabal though.

185 188 OK, after reading the thread, it turns out that the $29 figure comes from a consulting firm's figures on what the garage will need to charge in order to deliver NYC the subsidy that it was promised when it funded the new stadium. I suppose the garage could charge less and the Yankees could make up the subsidy with other money elsewhere.

End sarcasm.

178 Best bowl game ever (at least for me)- 1966 Rose Bowl.

Here is a quick summary:

188 Yankee Stadium's about a two-hour subway ride if you live in, say, Jersey City. Shea would be more like three.
