Tuesday's Den: Runnin' the bases in the National League

Milwaukee just used its first-round pick in last year’s draft to grab CC Sabathia away from the Indians, making the Brewers a strong playoff contender this season. How do different teams approach the draft? Here is a quick, thumbnail sketch of how each NL team drafted last month………

Arizona— Used their ripe farm system last winter to trade for Dan Haren, restocked this year; first four picks were pitchers, six of first seven were college players; in all, took 38 college players out of 51 picks, with 27 pitchers taken in all.

Atlanta—Took 34 college players, but 21 of the 34 came from junior colleges, not 4-year schools; only 13 of their 51 picks were pitchers from 4-year colleges. Their first five picks were either high school or JC kids. In rounds 16-18, took three straight local kids.

Chi Cubs—43 of their 51 picks were college kids, and only nine of those were from junior colleges; took pair of shortstops in first four picks, figuring that a SS can be moved anywhere in infield. Took 28 pitchers overall.

Cincinnati—Took 36 college kids, only three from JC’s; only eight of their top 21 picks were pitchers, but then they took hurlers with 21 of last 29 selections, giving them 29 overall. Their farm system has been good of late (Votto-Bruce-Cueto-Thompson), producing good young nucleus for Dusty Baker.

Colorado—Took only two high school kids in first 31 picks, but then 10 of their last 19 selections were from prep ranks. Mercifully, eight of their first 11 picks were pitchers, hopefully ground ball pitchers. In all, they took 38 college kids (in 50 picks) and 26 pitchers.

Florida—Took pitchers with five of first six picks; six of their first eight selections were HS kids, then in rounds 14-30, every pick was a college player. Oddly, their first player drafted from a Florida high school or college was in 19th round. Go figure.

Houston—Four of their first five picks were high school kids; only three of their first nine picks were pitchers, though they wound up with 25 of them. Overall breakdown: 13 JC kids, 16 high school kids, 23 players from 4-year colleges.

LA Dodgers—Their first pick was high school, kid, but next eight came from college, with four of their first five picks pitchers; only four of the 26 college kids they took came from JCs. Took total of just 22 pitchers, one of lower totals this year.

Milwaukee—Took 34 pitchers, an awful lot; also took four Canadian kids, as well as Lenny Dykstra’s son in the second round. Six of their first nine picks were pitchers. From 16th round on, they took six JC kids, three Canadians, 15 high school kids, only 11 from 4-year colleges.

NY Mets—Took only 20 pitchers (just one in first eight picks, only three in last 12 rounds); of their first eight picks, one is from Puerto Rico, the other seven from 4-year colleges. Only seven of their 51 picks came from high school, and that’s including the kid from Puerto Rico.

Philadelphia—Lot of high school kids (27 of 52 picks) and six of their 25 college kids come from JC ranks. Their first four picks were HS/prep picks, with first three being SS-OF-OF. Lot like Reds, who also play in small park, they eschewed pitchers early, but wound up taking 31—also drafted a kid from Holland

Pittsburgh—First five picks were college kids, only two of first nine were pitchers. Drafted a kid from North Pole, AK in 15th round, then took consecutive players from West Point in rounds 41-42. Took 18 HS kids, 22 pitchers—how did they find the kid from Alaska?

St Louis—With first three picks, went top 25 college guys (Arizona State-Ole Miss-Long Beach); only 10 of their 51 picks were HS kids. Took pair of teammates from three colleges: NC State/Cal-Irvine/Tampa. For some reason, they drafted seven kids from New England.

San Diego—None of first seven picks were pitchers; playing in spacious Petco, do they figure they can make pitchers out of most anyone? Four of their first nine picks came from four different SEC schools; 37 of their 45 picks were college kids, with low total of 21 pitchers taken.

San Francisco—First four picks were C-3B-OF-SS, so another team playing in big ballpark goes hitting first; only four of their first 41 picks were HS kids, then four of their last eight were. 8 of their 39 college picks were JC kids; they also took three kids from Canada.

Washington—First nine picks were evenly divided between HS-JC-4-year kids; they took 13 players from Florida schools, nine from California. Overall, they took 10 JC kids, 24 from 4-year colleges, 16 from HSs. They took 21 pitchers, as they try to rebuild what has been barren farm system.

Tips and Trends
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

St. Louis Cardinals at Philadelphia Phillies [7:05 PM ET]

Cardinals: Joel Pineiro finally got some good run support in his last start against the Mets, and it translated to an 8-7 victory. Piniero had seen the Cardinals score three runs or less in his previous five starts, all resulting in losses. Four of those five games came on the road, where he is just 1-3 with a 5.16 ERA in eight starts this season.

The OVER is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings.

Key Injuries - SS Cesar Izturis (.241; hamstring) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Phillies (-200, O/U 9): Ace Cole Hamels will start his first home game against a National League team since June 5th against the Reds. Hamels notched a complete-game shutout in that game, walking three and striking out four. He is a somewhat disappointing 5-4 at home this season with an impressive 2.84 ERA and could be extra motivated after getting snubbed for the NL All-Star team on Sunday in player voting.

Phillies are 1-8 in their last 9 home games.
Phillies are 2-11 in their last 13 games as a favorite.

Key Injuries - RP Tom Gordon (5-4; elbow) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD



Tampa Bay Rays at New York Yankees [YES | 7:05 PM ET]

Rays: Scott Kazmir has not been particularly sharp in his last two outings, yet his team has still found a way to win. Kazmir has given up four runs in each of his last two starts despite lasting only five innings each time out, but the Rays have won both times by outscoring the opposition 17-11. He is 3-2 on the road this season with a 3.52 ERA and owns a career mark of 3-3 against the Yankees with a 2.68 ERA.

Rays are 11-2 in their last 13 games overall.
The OVER is 4-1 in Tampa Bay's last 5 games overall. SS

Key Injuries - Jason Bartlett (.256; knee) is on the 15-day DL.
RP Troy Percival (19 saves; hamstring) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Yankees (-175, O/U 9): Andy Pettitte brings a very impressive 14-4 career mark vs. Tampa Bay into this meeting, although his results at home have certainly left a lot to be desired. Pettitte is only 3-4 at Yankee Stadium in nine starts this season with a 5.03 ERA, and he was hit hard last time out against the Red Sox there on Friday. He gave up six runs and nine hits in 4.2 innings of a 7-0 loss, walking three and striking out two.

Yankees are 2-8 in their last 10 Tuesday games.
The UNDER is 7-2-1 in New York's last 10 games overall.

Key Injuries - OF Johnny Damon (.319; shoulder) is on the 15-day DL.
OF Hideki Matsui (.323; knee) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD



Los Angeles Angels at Texas Rangers [8:05 PM ET] | Full Matchup

Angels (-140, O/U 10): Joe Saunders is tied for the major-league lead in wins with 12 and was named to the AL All-Star squad on Sunday. If things couldn't get any better for Saunders, his wife is expecting their first child. He is 6-2 on the road this season with a 2.05 ERA but is just 2-2 lifetime vs. Texas with a lofty 6.08 ERA.

Angels are 12-4 in their last 16 road games.
The UNDER is 21-8-2 in LA's last 31 road games.

Key Injuries - C Mike Napoli (.204; shoulder) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Rangers: Rookie Eric Hurley is coming off his first career win against the Phillies at home back on June 29th and is expected to start after being scratched on Saturday with tightness in his hamstring. Hurley has allowed two runs or less in his last three outings - including two at home - but he has not gone more than six innings in any of them.

The OVER is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings.
The OVER is 10-2-2 in the last 14 meetings.

Key Injuries - C Gerald Laird (.306; hamstring) is on the 15-day DL.
OF Milton Bradley (.320; knee) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD



Atlanta Braves at Los Angeles Dodgers [10:10 PM ET]

Braves: Atlanta's Jair Jurrjens will try to rebound from his first loss in nine starts when he takes the mound against the Dodgers. Jurrjens surrendered four runs and eight hits in seven innings of a 4-1 home loss to the Phillies last Thursday after failing to allow an earned run in his previous three starts. He is 3-3 on the road this season in eight starts with a 3.35 ERA.

Braves are 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.
Braves are 2-7 in their last 9 games overall.

Key Injuries - SS Omar Infante (.282; hamstring) is on the 15-day DL.
RP Jeff Bennett (4.28 ERA; shoulder) is on the 15-day DL.
RP Manny Acosta (4.02 ERA; hamstring) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Dodgers (-135, O/U 7.5): LA's Chad Billingsley is enjoying one of the best runs of his young career after reeling off wins in each of his last four starts. Billingsley has given up three runs or less in each of those four outings, and he has pitched progressively deeper into the game in the last three. He pitched a season-high eight innings last time out at Houston on Thursday, allowing six hits and two unearned runs with one walk and five strikeouts.

Dodgers are 6-1 in their last 7 games overall.
The UNDER is 12-3 in LA's last 15 games overall.

Key Injuries - OF Juan Pierre (.277; knee) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

 

[ACE-ACE]

Streaking Starting Pitchers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Streaking

Justin Verlander, Detroit (5-9, 4.34)

Justin Verlander may finally be turning his season around.

The Detroit fireballer helped the Tigers to just two wins through his first 13 starts and he allowed at least four runs in eight of those outings, but he has been solid lately even though his number are still lagging behind.

He has given up four runs just once over his last eight outings and struck out 10 Padres in a 5-3 win, his most recent start. Still, Detroit isn't giving him much support to work with and he's throwing 110 pitches per outing routinely, so keep that in mind.

Joe Saunders, L.A. Angels (12-4, 3.04)

Joe Saunders will take part in his first MLB All-Star game next week and he has the numbers to back up the honor.

The lefty is tied with Brandon Webb for the league lead in wins and the Angels have lost just four of Saunders' 17 starts all year. Plus, he has won three of his last four starts, allowing just six runs over the streak.

That said, he wasn't thrilled with his last outing that saw him give up all four runs in a 7-4 win over Oakland.

I didn't have much today, but I got some ground balls," Saunders told reporters. "I think I found my curveball in the sixth inning. It was a battle today."


Slumping

Kyle Davies, Kansas City (3-1, 4.71)

Davies started strong with Kansas City, but the tables have turned. The Royals have managed to win two of Davies' last three starts, no thanks to him.

He has allowed 16 earned runs over that time, seven of which came in a nasty appearance that lasted only four innings. Two starts before that he allowed five runs and didn't make it out of the second inning only to see his Royals come back to book an 11-10 win over San Francisco from the clubhouse.
