The WiMP Era is Over.

  text Farewell, Wily Mo. We hardly knew ya. He never met a fastball he didn't like. But he never met a breaking ball he could hit. Nationals release Wily Mo Pena . It was never the same after those magical 37 games in 2007: .293/.352/.504 8 HR, 22RBI. It almost justified Jimbo's unrequited love. (AP Photo) ...

New Look Nats Take Shape

... early spring in Syracuse. Analysis: For better or worse Lannan, Olsen, Cabrera, Martis and Zimmermann were clearly the best five SPs this spring, so in that sense they all deserve their spots. Will we regret this when Shairon and Jordan hit free agency a year early? Maybe, but hell, in three years we could all be living underground riding out the fallout of international economic collapse and global thermonuclear war. Carpe diem! 2. WMP hits the waiver wire, destined for AAA or free agency. Either way, $2M is a lovely ...

Manny Alternative Number Two

... Jim Edmunds can only hit RHP at this stage in his career and at age 39 he may have only one more productive year left. So we need to find a tag team platoon player for him and so I'm going to once again hit up the Nationals but instead of bringing over Nick the Stick I'm going to acquire Wily Mo Pena. Wily Mo seems like he's been around forever but he's actually only 27 years old. Another inconsistent player with injury problems he has at times shown the ability to whack the baseball 2008 nonwithstanding. You can hope that Pena's 2008 season was like Daryl Wards ...

It’s not that acquiring these players were necessarily bad moves, but I think that fans should have a right to be worried when a GM seems attached to things that he once saw as great in his mind’s eye.

April Fools

... Wily Mo Pena: .170/.220/.170 with 0 XBH, 3 BB and 15 SO in 50 PA. The Pena name isn't doing too well this season. I have never drunk the WMP Kool-Aid. Sure, Pena can hit for power, but he strikes out way too much for my tastes, especially given his anemic walk rate. His plate discipline and pitch recognition skills are lacking (swung and missed at 31% of strikes vs. a MLB average of 14%), and I would be surprised if he becomes much more than a platoon player. ...

CRAP: Outfielders

... Marcel projections just seem toooo low to me. Milledge is someone who's already established that he can handle MLB pitching at age 22, having hit .272/ .341/ .446 in nearly 200 ABs last year. Maybe that itself would be a reasonable prediction, but the guy oozes potential, and with a manager and team that nutures his abilities instead of dwelling on his toughness or what kind of 'punk' he is, he can focus his energies on honing his talent, not ticking off the next cranky old white guy.

... So is this a glass-half-full day? Or a glass-rapidly-emptying-out day? I'm scratching my head because I can't figure it out either. Some of you are hot to acquire Wily Mo Pena from Boston. Good heavens, why? He's hitting .219/.293/.391 with 5 HR in 151 AB. Seems to me we already have a large bucket full of outfielders who can do that, plus Pena has a bit of a reputation as a headcase. ...

... After doing my research on these three players, there's no doubt in my mind that Pena is the least desireable option of those listed here.  In fact, looking over his career numbers, there's a frightening similarity in his statistical profile to Tony Batista.  Sure there's power, but there's also a disappointing on-base percentage and lots of strikeouts with few walks. ...

I Wear My Sunglasses at Night: Blue Jays 2, Red Sox 1

... on the hill, JD Drew got the night off and was replaced by Wily Mo Pena. A new suit courtesy of Mr. Francona should be en route to Mr. Pena after launching a monster home run in the third. He also played his usual brand of heart-attack-inducing defense, albeit mistake free tonight. Wily gets to two strikes quicker than anybody, but Chacin helped him out in the third with two in the dirt. There were few moments of poor execution by the Bulldog, but Wily’s at bat was the phoenix of faulty gameplans. “Wily see fastball, Wily hit fastball.” When he knew what was coming, he didn’t think twice about dunking it into someone’s Molson Export. The reaction from Vernon Wells in center was awful, as in full of awe. I don’t care about Wily Mo’s defense (or Ortiz’s at first), this kid and his prodigious power need to play.
