Peter Gammons on Derek Jeter and his importance to the Game

Peter Gammons: What Derek Jeter means to the game of baseball

July 16, 2014 by Peter Gammons 0 Comments

Derek Jeter finished taking his ground balls as he always takes them, his feet balanced and positioned, his glove inside his left foot. That is how he prepares. Several years ago, I asked him if he ever fooled around and one-handed a ball in those monotonous minutes that coaches hit ball after ball off their fungoes. “I made 56 errors once,” he brusquely replied, “and I can do it again.”
Tuesday he had finished his routine and come in to the batting cage for batting practice, and approached Red Sox coach and infield teaching professor Brian Butterfield. “Why didn’t you hit me ground balls, Butter?” Jeter asked.
“There are a lot of coaches hitting balls, a lot of infielders,” Butterfield replied.
“No one is like you,” Jeter replied. “On the last day of the season, before my last game, you have to hit me ground balls with a Yankee cap on your head. You have to make up for today.”
Back when Jeter was a colt and he’d made 56 errors in A ball, he went to the Instructional League to be tutored by Butterfield, then a young manager and coach in the Yankee organization. “I broke a bone, couldn’t hit and couldn’t play in games,” Jeter recounted. “But Butter had me out there at seven every morning, killing me.” The next season, Butterfield was Jeter’s manager, and as Jeter has told many folks over the years, he helped make him a gold glove shortstop.
Then when Jeter left last night’s game and went down the line in the dugout, exchanging embraces, near the end of the line he reached Butterfield. The two embraced, and the Fox microphone picked up Jeter saying, “I love you Butter.”
Because Derek never forgets. He never forgets. Not family; when he was called “Mr. Jeter” yesterday, he said, “the important Mr. Jeter is my father.” Not people who helped him, like Butterfield, people who treated him with respect through the years. On a night when the entire game became Derek Jeter Day, the message of this week was louder than ever, that, in the end, the respect you take is equal to the respect you make.
Adam Wainwright, the National League starting pitcher who carried that kind of respectful presence when he was an 18-year old at a Georgia Tech recruiting dinner, took off his glove, applauded Jeter, tipped his cap, then as the entire crowd rose for Jeter’s announcement and he stepped into the box, stepped back off the mound. “I thought it was his moment,” Wainwright said afterwards. “I wanted to stay as far away as I could.”
There was no silly gimmicky “this game matters stuff.” Baseball matters, and what Jeter means to the sport matters. On Sunday, Sept. 28, Jeter’s last game will be the most nationally watched final game in the sport’s history. But in Target Field, the best of the game could express what Jeter has meant to competitiveness and integrity and character. Yasiel Puig weeks ago asked Don Mattingly, who was Jeter’s role model when he got to the big leagues in 1995, what he could do to earn the kind of respect Jeter has earned. Adam Jones and Jon Lester, Giancarlo Stanton, Brian Dozier and…hey, everyone…expressed some form of awe for what Derek Jeter has done to make their game better.

It is appropriate that it was Mike Trout who tripled in Jeter in the first inning and with a fifth inning RBI double became the game’s MVP. Trout is the best player in the land right now, 22 years old, someone who, like Jeter, treats people and the game and its integrity with similar respect. If there comes a day when baseball cool is playing hard, Jeter and Trout will be on its billboards. Remember, when Trout was a high school senior in 2009 and Damon Oppenheimer and his Yankee scouts went to the Trout house for a pre-draft interview, Trout’s mother fed them two Yankee cakes from a local bakery whose owner was a Yankee fan. Like the Trouts, a Jeter fan.
While baseball still suffers from steroid hysteria—despite the strongest testing plan in sports—the celebrations for Mariano Rivera and now Jeter have focused attention on what is good. So have the emergence of Trout and Stanton as the best players in each league.
Which makes it even more important that the Commissioner’s Office respect the rage of the Players Association, do a thorough investigation of the Astros’ alleged manipulation of the drat slot money system, and deal accordingly. The Astros wanted to sign Brady Aiken, the first pick in the country, as well as give $1.5M to lower picks Jacob Nix and Mac Marshall. They originally agreed to a $6.5M deal with Aiken, then claimed Aiken’s physical showed severe elbow ligament damage and told him to take far less than the $6.5M so they could use the cash with other players.
They agreed to a $1.5M deal with Nix, then voided the deal.
Now, teams that had pre-draft medical information do not agree there was a problem, which it turns out is simply the fact that the ligament in the left elbow is slightly different than in the right elbow. If, indeed, the Astros medical report is frivolous, then all the integrity Jeter and Trout bring to the game is smudged by the Aiken and Nix dealings. Major League Baseball sides with ownership 99.8 per cent of the time, but this is a serious issue. If guilty, Aiken should be made a free agent and the Astros should not get the compensatory pick at the top of next year’s draft. And they should also lose all the slot money for the first pick.
Voiding an agreement with an 18-year old kid? Nice message about what the Astros stand for. One AL scouting director always says, “there is no such thing as a clean MRI when it comes to pitchers,” and if the Astros cannot prove that they are trying to smear and intimidate an 18-year old raises ethical questions that cannot be ignored.
Major League Baseball will rightfully ride the Jeter Wave right through to September 29, when he will leave the game far better than when he found it, a year after The Strike. But MLB also cannot ignore what could and may be an unseemly scandal. Brady Aiken may not be a visible symbol of a billion dollar business, but he shares one inalienable fact of life with Jeter.
Aiken, like Jeter, is a human being, deserving of honesty and respect.

Retired NFL Players are not the only ones getting shafted Cheerleaders take Raiders to court Robin Abcarian Los Angeles Times

Column

An extraordinary win for the Raiders' cheerleaders

Compensation and Benefits Oakland Raiders NFL Jobs and Workplace New York Jets Buffalo Bills Cincinnati Bengals

In a major victory for Raiderettes cheerleaders, the Oakland NFL team more than doubles their wages

A wage theft lawsuit by cheerleaders against Oakland Raiders leads to big changes in wages and work conditions

Attorney who filed first NFL cheerleader lawsuit predicts systemic changes in how teams treat the dancers

On July 1, about six months after being hit with a wage theft lawsuit that generated worldwide attention, the Oakland Raiders shipped out a new contract to the 40 members of its Raiderettes cheerleading squad, who call themselves "football's fabulous females."
The two-page document represents something almost revolutionary in the world of NFL cheerleading: a guarantee that the Oakland Raiders will no longer rip off the women who enliven its sidelines and work as team ambassadors when they are not performing.
The cheerleaders will now be earning $9 an hour.
Yeah, hardly a pretty penny, but a whopping raise.
In past seasons, Raiderettes earned $125 per game for 10 games, and virtually nothing for the hundreds of hours they put in for mandatory practices, rehearsals and public appearances. (Although cheerleaders can earn extra money at sponsored appearances, the money does not come from the team and such assignments are often doled out as favors to preferred members of the squad.)
The paltry raise also means the team will no longer be vulnerable to allegations that it has violated a laundry list of state labor laws including failing to pay minimum wage, illegally deducting wages for minor rules infractions like tardiness, failing to reimburse mandatory business expenses and issuing paychecks only once a year.
Starting this season, Raiderettes will be paid for all their work, which can add up to about 350 hours in a season. Their annual compensation should rise from about $1,250 to about $3,200. They will be entitled to overtime, and, significantly, they will also be reimbursed for some mandatory business expenses and mileage, which they have previously paid out of their own pockets.
One cheerleader advocate was unimpressed.

"Going from nothing to minimum wage is not a major victory, it's the law," said Diane Todd, a Santa Monica health company project manager whose change.org petition asking NFL teams to pay cheerleaders a living wage has garnered more than 130,000 signatures since she posted it in December.
On June 3, Paula Abdul tweeted a link to the petition. Monday, retired football great Jerry Rice signed it, and retweeted a link as well. "It doesn't take a brainiac to figure out cheerleaders are just being exploited," Todd said. "It's the NFL, for crying out loud."
Still, one labor law expert was encouraged by the new Raiderette contract.
"This should be considered a victory for the workers," said Catherine Ruckleshaus, legal director of the National Employment Law Project. "But minimum wage is still not very much, even if you double it for overtime."
I've been writing about the abominable wages of professional cheerleaders since January, when a former Raiderette, who has been identified only as Lacy T., filed the first class-action lawsuit against the Raiders. Her lawsuit focused strictly on labor law violations, but I was appalled by other conditions of the job as well.
The Raiderettes handbook, for instance, is a document right out of a pre-feminist past, with patronizing instructions about staying away from married men in the front office, not dating players and avoiding parties where their "reputations" could be "ruined" if they were sexually assaulted by players. (I am not making this up.)

A few weeks after Lacy filed her lawsuit, she was joined by a second plaintiff, Sarah G. And then, it seemed, the dam broke. Similar lawsuits were filed by former cheerleaders for the Buffalo Bills, the Cincinnati Bengals, the New York Jets and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
In 1995, the Buffalo Jills had a brief, shining labor rights moment when they won the right to organize the first professional cheerleaders union. Their union collapsed a year later when they could not find a sponsor willing to take them on.
Nowadays, they have to pass a "jiggle test," and their handbook instructs them how often to change their tampons and how to properly wash "intimate areas." (I am not making this up, either.)
Last month, a Raiderette named Caitlin Y. filed a second, separate wage theft lawsuit against the Raiders. Unlike other lawsuits, she included the NFL as a defendant. (A league spokesman told me the NFL has nothing to do with cheerleaders.)

Unlike all the other cheerleader plaintiffs, Caitlin is still a Raiderette. That, she told me Wednesday, has made for some awkward moments, as workers don't always appreciate someone who rocks the boat, even on their behalf.
"It's been a tough experience," she said. "I understand that change is not always well-received. People don't necessarily know how to interact with me right now, and that's OK. I am here and believe in my cause."
I had assumed that Raiderettes, upon receiving their new contract, would go out of their way to thank Lacy T., who courageously started the current wage revolt. After all, even though the Raiders have declined to talk to me, it's pretty clear the new contract was developed in direct response to her lawsuit.
"I seriously doubt I will ever hear a thank-you," Lacy told me. Some cheerleaders in her "line," she said, texted her that the contract is "awesome." They were especially happy to be paid twice a month instead of only once per season. "That was a hardship for everyone." But many felt her lawsuit made the team look bad.
On Monday, attorneys for Lacy and Sarah are scheduled for their first mediation session with the Raiders.
Technically, the new Raiderettes contract has no legal bearing on their case. "But you could argue that it's good psychologically for our mediation," said the cheerleaders' attorney Leslie Levy. "Have you ever read Malcolm Gladwell's 'The Tipping Point'? It feels like that's what happened here.
"Lacy came forward, and Sarah joined her and between the two of them, they tipped the scales. It's almost a domino effect. We had two great clients willing to risk what they love, which is to dance, to be spokespeople for the rest of the cheerleaders and say 'This is isn't right.'"
These ladies may like to shake pompoms for a living, but don't ever call them powder puffs.

Alec Dopp takes a look @ King Felix and his change Up

Felix Hernandez’s Filthy, Filthy Changeup

July 12, 2014 by Alec Dopp 0 Comments

Felix Hernandez lowered his league-best fielding independent pitching to 2.02 Friday evening thanks to his eight-inning, nine-strikeout, two-earned run performance against the Oakland Athletics at Safeco Field — marking the 28-year-old right-hander’s eleventh consecutive start in which he logged at least seven innings and allowed two or fewer earned runs to the opposition.
Since his streak of impressive (and largely unheralded) performances began back on May 18 in Minnesota, Hernandez has accumulated a 1.48 earned run average, 0.75 WHIP, .173 opponent batting average against, 30.3% strikeout rate to go along with 7.73 average innings pitched per outing, each of which rank best among qualifying American League arms during that span.
What’s most helped Hernandez over his stretch of dominance has been his changeup, a pitch he’s thrown at a 33.7% frequency over his most recent 11 starts — higher than any of his other offerings, and in a diverse repertoire that includes a four-seam fastball, sinker, curve, slider and cutter, no less. Including last night’s start, opponents now own a ridiculously insane and mind-bogglingly low .279 OPS against the pitch since May 18. So, it’s really no surprise that 34.7% of his 101 pitches thrown Friday were changes.
But it’s not just that Hernandez is throwing changeups more frequently. It’s that he’s commanding the pitch and subsequently dominating against both left-handed and right-handed batters.
Hernandez CH 1

Clearly, Hernandez has attempted to chip away at hitters’ plate discipline by throwing his changeup out of the strike zone at a higher frequency over his last 11 starts. That tactic was on full display Friday night, where King Felix located a season-low 22.9% of his changeups outside of the imaginary square box — helping lower his changeup zone rate since May 19 to 34.1%, which is noticeably lower than the 39.4% rate he posted from Opening Day through May 12. The league-average starter throws his changeup in the strike zone roughly 42% of the time, for reference.
This plan-of-attack has accomplished exactly what Hernandez had hoped for, mainly in that the opposition has expanded its strike zone at a higher rate against his changeup, while whiffing at a higher frequency as an added bonus. Since his “change” in approach — pun intended — started May 19, hitters are swinging at basically the same rate while chasing more (38.3% prior, 44.3% since) and waving at a higher frequency (33.3% before, 39.4% now) when they do swing. Righties have been particularly susceptible to coming up empty, interestingly enough, posting a 52.5% miss rate against his change since May 19 juxtaposed to 41.2% before.
Its effectiveness hasn’t been limited to plate discipline digits, however. Along with producing ground balls at a 68.1% clip while holding opponents to a feeble .052 hard-hit average (highest and lowest, respectively, among AL pitchers with at least 200 changeups since May 18), Hernandez’s changeup has also halved hitters’ line-drive rate (20.7% prior, 9.7% since) along with that .277 OPS I mentioned earlier (next lowest is Alex Cobb‘s .427 OPS against, in case you were wondering).
Difficult as it may be to be impressed by anything from a guy who posted a 2.67 ERA and 8.2 K/9 ratio as a 19-year-old rookie with Seattle in 2005, Hernandez’s changeup has been that good over his last 11 starts. Now, can hitters adjust?

Peter Gammons 10 observations from ASG Futures Game Gammons Daily

Peter Gammons: Ten observations from the Futures Game

July 14, 2014 by Peter Gammons 0 Comments

Javier Baez celebrates after hitting a two-run home run in the 6th inning of the Futures Game.

Ten observations from the Futures Game:

Joey Gallo may have begun his hitting career with Jason Giambi back in Las Vegas, but his batting practice and game power repeatedly brought the same comparison: Josh Hamilton. Different type of athlete, but the loft in his swing is, indeed, reminiscent of Hamilton.
But Vas sidekick Kris Bryant is also extremely talented, but a different kind of player. The Jayson Werth comp as an athlete is valid, and one Cubs scouting official says “I thought Kris was a really good center fielder in college.” Bryant loves the outfield, and if Addison Russell or Javier Baez moves to third, Bryant could be a really good right fielder.
Baez, incidentally, is said to have become a different player since he formed his relationship with Manny Ramirez. The way he appeared to look for Lucas Giolito’s curveball away and hit it out to right field was vintage Manny.
The Dodgers’ Julio Urias hit 94 MPH and showed a classic Koufaxesque delivery. Oh yes. He turns 18 in a month. “He’s the one guy the Dodgers cannot trade,” said one baseball executive. “In their market, they cannot trade the great Mexican star.”
In a year in which Dee Gordon and Billy Hamilton have changed their teams, second basemen Micah Johnson of the White Sox and Jose Peraza are sub-4.0 blazers. Johnson’s athleticism is scary.
One scout on Dodger shortstop Corey Seager:”He slows the game down and makes the game play out on his time.”
One player the Cardinals will not trade is center fielder James Ramsey, who defines leadership, character, a sense of where he is and who he is, not to mention a really good hitter. He is a very good tennis player, whose Wilson contract gets him Federer racquets (one of his winter tennis partners is Jeff Francoeur). His mother was a ranked tennis player, and people see his two handed backhand in his swing. Tennis is one of the best preparations for hitters because of the hand-eye coordination; ask Dustin Pedroia, who like his mother was a really good tennis player as a kid. Seeing Ramsey hit reminds me of playing with Carl Yastrzemski 40 years ago; Yaz would run all over the court to get to his backhand, and watching Yaz-Ted Williams matches in Winter Haven was a classic view of two men with incredible hand-eye coordination and competitiveness that made them hate the possibility of losing to the other.
Which of the many talented pitchers could go to the big leagues and succeed right away? Lefthander Daniel Norris of the Blue Jays and Noah Syndergaard would be my first two picks. But Minnesota’s Jose Berrios is going to be here at beautiful Target Field in a hurry. Javier Vazquez II.
Most surprising BP? Boston’s 5-8 Sean Coyle. “He may be our longterm third baseman,” said one Red Sox official. If he is, and if Deven Marrero indeed is the defender and leader they think, where Xander Bogaerts ends up is still a question. Just where, not if.
I have Giolito as the future coolest guy in Washington. Something about those Harvard Westlake people.
