Talking Ian Snell
2007-11-24 06:53:00 "Pittsburgh's Ian Snell. Teams that have talked to the Pirates say they're in the midst of a monstrous internal debate about whether they'd be willing to at least dangle Snell, a major 26-year-old talent who had more quality starts this year (22) than Santana or Roy Oswalt and a better strikeout rate (7.66 per 9 innings) than Carlos Zambrano or Ben Sheets." -- Jason Stark, ESPN, Nov 21When I first read Stark's comment earlier this week I wasn't surprised to see the Pirates front office was without a cohesive rebuilding plan or, if they did have one and dealing Snell wasn't a part of the rebuilding process, then they were obviously lacking leadership. Over the last six days I've received a few anonymous emails on Snell and one of them was stuffed with pitch and statistical data that would blow the average fan out of the water. For instance.. Between 2005 and 2007, there were 170 MLB pitching performances where at least 15 starts were made in one year and the pitcher...

Ian Snell 2008 Projection
2007-10-28 05:59:00 In late September of 2006, I spoke of Ian Snell's good fortune in racking up wins but bad luck on hits allowed and home runs. I mentioned that his skills were more indicative of a 3.85 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. As a 25 year-old this year, Snell had that breakout I was looking for - 3.76 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 177 Ks. Good stuff. What should we expect in '08? This remains a tough one to call because the Bucs typically post a poor team BABIP. If they continue to play poor defense next year, Snell might allow more than a hit per inning again. Let's cross our fingers and hope for a .300 BABIP, which would mean 8.9 H/9. I have Snell at 7.8 K/9, 2.8 BB/9, 8.9 H/9, and 1.0 HR/9. That solid work would put him at a 3.72 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with 182 Ks if he makes 33 starts for 210 innings. The Pirates being the Pirates, he might be lucky to win 12 games with that fine work. That'd make him a $10 pitcher in a 12 team mixed 5x5 keeper league with...

Rockies Pursuing Ian Snell?
2007-10-27 20:41:00 I hate to tap from the same well twice in a row, but I felt the rumor at the bottom of Jake from Bucco Blog's post deserved it's own mention. Jake writes,"Lastly, are the Rockies going to go after Ian Snell? One NL exec thinks so.. and hard. I was surprised when I heard this one knowing the Rockies have a pretty solid core of young pitchers in their farm, but if Dave Holliday does come to work as player development or scouting director, well..."A lot of teams come off World Series trips with a truckload of veterans and the need to rebuild. The Rockies are not one of those teams. In fact, with the added confidence of a pennant (and World Series?), I wouldn't be surprised if these now-seasoned youngsters kept competitive with the Diamondbacks up-and-coming talent over the next few years; however, they will need more starting pitching to do so ('07 starters had a 4.58 team ERA), especially if the Diamondbacks are focusing on upgrading a rotation consisti...

Latest From Baseball Prospectus: Jacque, Snell
2007-07-23 18:17:00 Will Carroll and John Perrotto have teamed up at BP to join the rumor mill, and yesterday's post is free to nonsubscribers. Some highlights: Carroll reports that the Cubs could swap Jacque Jones and a prospect for Jeff Conine. Perhaps such a move would be in tandem with Adam Dunn leaving Cincinnati. The Cubs might want to hold on to Jones though; he's playing well lately. Carroll heard a far out Alex Rodriguez to the Dodgers rumor, but doesn't buy it. Neither do I - the Yankees don't seem to be selling. Carroll says Brian Cashman and Co. will wait until the last second to make a buyer/seller decision. There's a slight chance Jorge Posada becomes available if they choose the latter. Perrotto confirms a rumor that surfaced a week ago, that Ian Snell could be had for the right bat. Perrotto would know, as he spent time as a Pirates' beat writer. Jarrod Saltalamacchia or Matt Kemp are two possible targets for the Bucs. The Tigers may...

Ian Snell K's Seven
2007-03-07 10:46:01 Pirates starter Ian Snell struck out seven in Tuesday's spring game against the Phillies, but allowed three runs, three hits and two walks in three innings. Snell is a solid, hard-throwing young pitcher, but the sub-.500 Pirates make him more of a low-end Fantast starter. Snell has the potential to go over 200 innings and 180 strikeouts this season, though, so consider him if he's falling into the latter rounds. Source: CBS SportsLine.com |
