12 wins from sainthood

[princeton]

according to Bowden, Gullett predicted 12-14 wins for Jimmy Haynes this year

to which I replied, if Jimmy Haynes wins 14, Gullett deserves sainthood

Jimmy got win number two yesterday

[gonelong]

12 Ws would be amazing
14 Ws and Gullett would get my vote for sainthood

I am sure Gullet was taking into account the bullpen Haynes would have behind him. :)

I'd wager my firstborn that Jimmy Haynes does not reach 14 wins.

Good stuff, WOY.

No, the line is from a catchy little ditty; it's not my motto. I like it though.

[red-in-la]

My only concern over Haynes having 14 wins is that he would also have 22 losses.

3 & counting for Jimmy...

[guernsey]

At the rate of one win every three weeks, Don is doomed to purgatory!

[15fan]

For those of you keeping score at home, Jimmy now has five (5) wins.

(And it ain't even June yet...)

His kid is rooting for 14 wins. :p

[Stormy]

I think Gully has handled Haynes beautifully, and that Boone and Gully have more often than not pulled the plug on the questionables in the exact perfect spot in the 5+IP range to save them from worse damage. However, I've wondered about this thread from day #1. Haynes is less than 2 years removed from 12 wins with the hapless Brewers, why should an additional win earn anyone Sainthood? He actually had almost the exact same ERA last year that he has coming into today's game. Same hit, walk, K ratios, IPs per start. Almost no change.

What exactly is the difference that merits Sainthood?

Jimmy gets win #6 on 6/6.

Strange and powerful forces are at work here...

[princeton]

I see what you mean: I'm constantly predicting 14 wins out of guys with career ERAs of 5.44

(divine knowledge?)

BTW, one thing that's interesting about Haynes this year is that in the past, he has had very good stuff. And lost with it, consistently. This year, the stuff is not there. So I'm confused-- if you take good stuff away from a loser, how does he suddenly become a potential 14 game winner?

makes you wonder how he's going to pitch if his stuff returns? Better? or worse?

Jimmy Haynes-- this is one guy that I'd never care to project.

[JaxRed]

"Jimmy Haynes-- this is one guy that I'd never care to project."

You mean again? :cool:

[remdog]

Let's hope that we don't have to wait till 7/7 for Jimmy to get win # 7! :p

Rem

[gm]

But if he were to get win #10 on 10/10, I could live with that :p

[Mike de la Hoz]

Haynes a Hoz favorite in the winter is doing OK

[princeton]

after all, what is sainthood? at least 4 miracles?

miracle 1: wins pour out of waiver claim Schourek like water from the rock struck by the (head of the) staff?

miracle 2: Jeff Brantley, once blind to the strike zone, now he could see?

miracle 3: Jeff Shaw, once water, now wine?

miracle 4: Jimmy Haynes' win total miraculously multiplies, like loaves and fish, to feed the hungry masses?

[Krusty]

Haynes could very well end up with a 14-13 to 16-14 record. He is our version of former Texas pitcher and current Diamondback Rick Helling. Give him the run support and he will be the benficiary of a win.

Reds up 8-2, going to the 9th.

FCB, looks like you'll soon be on the hook for 1/2 a kid.

Has anyone checked to see if Jimmy's using the same locker that Jack Armstrong used in 1990?

And princeton - how long 'til we start discussing whether Haynes is a "stopper"?

OK, what I want to know is if FCB's kid just goes to one of us or does everyone get a turn with him, like they do with the Stanley Cup?

Prior to his start Wednesday, his support neutral record was 4.3 wins and 5.6 losses. His actual record was 7-6.

<a href="http://www.baseballprospectus.com/current/snwlreport02.html" target="_blank">http://www.baseballprospectus.com/current/snwlreport02.html</a>

He is just about #1 in the league (see the same link above) in the category of "Starters most helped by their relievers (ranked by Bullpen Support)."

In other words, I wouldn't have bet my first born on it... but the safe money says Jimmy won't make it to 14 even if he improves his command slightly.

So, um, who exactly do we contact in the Vatican? Does John Paul II handle this beatification stuff directly, or does he have some staff or a committee that does the initial legwork?

Jimmy Haynes will get a shot at win #10 against the Brewers. Yes, Jimmy Haynes could have 10 wins at the all star break.

Here's to reality going against all your "Jimmy-predictions" so far. That long skid gets bumped back again! The REDS love to score when he has pitched lately (8, 7 and 6 runs).

Better to make Don a "saint" rather than a priest or a bishop

(Reason? He couldn't be trusted with the young pitchers)

[15fan]

Hey woy - didja notice that 5 of those 14 (over 1/3) have turned the trick since 1996? And all 5 of those guys did it in the NL.

(Hello, Coors Field.)

Back to the subject... FCB, how about a few more wagers, please. You could ante up your 2nd born if Junior plays in every game the rest of the year, your 3rd born if Danny Graves doesn't blow any more saves, etc.

The ones between 1922 and 1937 are in the midst of the first offensive explosion and Steve Blass is pitching the year the mound was dropped (2.33 worse than the prior year, 2 less wins)

Robin Roberts is the one that leaps out at me, his first plus 4.00 era of his career with a team that finishes under .500 and he wins 19 of his teams 71 victories.

An article from the Columbus Dispatch on Haynes today. Once again it seems like a little tinkering from Gully made a world of difference.

**************************************************
Castoff Haynes could see big payoff
Friday, July 26, 2002
Jim Massie
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

CINCINNATI -- The Milwaukee Brewers weren't exactly awash in pitching talent last December when they decided to throw Jimmy Haynes overboard.

The Brewers, of course, had more than 2 million reasons to say aloha to Haynes. The lanky right-hander had posted a lackluster 8-17 record in 2001 but still was likely to see his $2.2 million salary swell in an arbitration hearing.

Milwaukee general manager Dean Taylor considered Haynes' inconsistent on-the-field numbers and concluded that offering arbitration to the five-year veteran would not be "financially prudent.'' Directions to the plank followed and Haynes had no choice but to walk it.

He splashed around until bargain-hunting Reds general manager Jim Bowden trolled along in the organizational row boat. Bowden tossed out a life preserver and Haynes happily grabbed ahold.

Four months into the season, the eventual $500,000 acquistion by Bowden has proved to be a godsend for the Reds and Haynes. He will take an 11-6 record into the 1:10 p.m. game Sunday against the New York Mets in Shea Stadium and has revived his career in the process.

"There were a few, maybe six or seven other teams interested in me,'' Haynes said. "But Cincinnati was the logical choice. A lot of the other places were pitching-rich already. So I knew coming here I'd have a better chance to make the team.''

He also had two valuable allies on the inside. Reds manager Bob Boone and pitching coach Don Gullett had seen enough potential from Haynes to lobby Bowden to invite him to spring training.

"Gully and I saw it last year,'' Boone said. "And we saw it in the spring. He didn't really have a great spring, but you could tell that he had experience and knew what he wanted to do. It's like you've had (five) years in the big leagues with 200 innings every year, now it's time to start learning what you're doing.''

Haynes has worked this year to sharpen his breaking ball and make the pitch what it was touted to be as he came up as a hot prospect through the Baltimore and Oakland organizations.

"This year we talked about throwing my curveball a little bit sharper and a little bit harder,'' Haynes said. "I've been doing that so far. I've been trying to get on front with it and get it to bite a little bit more.''

The growing consistency with that pitch is one reason he has won eight of his last nine decisions.

"Early in the year we were getting a good inning followed by a poor inning,'' Boone said. "We'd see his stuff starting to fall off. Now he's making good pitch after pitch and his velocity is lasting longer.''

With 62 games left in the season, Haynes should have at least 12 more starts and an outside shot at 20 wins. The turnaround means that much more lucrative waters probably lie ahead.

"I think he's in line for a pretty big raise,'' Boone said.

That would mean staying or leaving under his own terms this time.

"We'll see,'' Haynes said. "I mean I would like to stay here. We've got great team chemistry. But I've got awhile to think about that. I'm just going to keep doing what I've been doing here. With negotiations going on in the labor stuff, there might not be any talks anyway. Who knows?''

And holding....

Jimmy had the chance to be the STOPPER today...but it didn't work out.

Not blaming him or anything, he still gave it a pretty good go....but Coors has an affect on even the best pitchers.

Anyway, though I would bring this one back to the top just to be consistent.

Yeah, I agree '66, Jimmy is finally throwing his famous curveball for strikes and I think he has turned the corner.

It will be interesting to see if Bowden keeps him beyond this season.

It's official:

Jimmy Haynes - 14 wins.

FCB - one less kid.

:roll:

Oh yeah - and from now on, it's Saint Don.

I'd wager my firstborn that Jimmy Haynes does not reach 14 wins.
