Jays, Astros figuring out who gets what

The most striking number associated with Friday’s trade between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Houston Astros was 10, the number of players involved. Below are some other facts and figures associated with the deal compiled by the Post’s Guy Spurrier.

1 Syllables in the pronunciation of J.A. Happ’s first name. Confirmed by the Astros’ media guide, it’s Jay, not Jay-eh. The initials stand for James Anthony.

2 Happ was second in National League rookie of the year voting in 2009, losing to Florida outfielder Chris Coghlan in the writers vote. Happ won votes held by the players association and the Sporting News.

3 Number of top-20 prospects, as ranked in the preseason by Baseball America, the Jays traded to Houston. Pitcher Asher Wojciechowski ranked 10th in its list of the Jays’ top 15 prospects in March. Catcher Carlos Perez was 14th and pitcher Joseph Musgrove was 20th. The Jays acquired some pieces they needed in the bullpen (Brandon Lyon, possibly David Carpenter) and the back end of the rotation (Happ) while dealing from their two deepest positions in the organization, pitcher and catcher.

5 Number of losses compiled by reliever Francisco Cordero this season. He added two saves when he was given the closer’s job after Sergio Santos was injured. But at age 37, his best days as a closer were already gone. The job was eventually given to Casey Janssen, who has shone in the ninth inning this season.

8 The spread, in mph, between Happ’s average fastball speed and average changeup speed this season. It’s about 1 mph better than others who throw in his speed range such as the Mets’ Dillon Gee, the Phillies’ Joe Blanton and the Giants’ Tim Lincecum.

8.4 The percentage of swinging strikes Happ has induced this season, tied for 59th among 107 NL pitchers with at least 40 innings pitched.

11 Walks Lyon has allowed this season in 36 innings pitched.

12 Round in which Carpenter was selected in the 2006 draft. He was drafted from West Virginia University as a catcher and did not convert to being a pitcher in Cardinals organization until 2008. Houston acquired him from St. Louis for Pedro Feliz in 2010.

14 Round in which Lyon was selected by the Blue Jays in the 1999 draft. He debuted with the Jays in 2001 as a starter and made the rotation out of spring training in 2002. He lasted until June 21, when he was sent to Triple-a. After the season, he was claimed on waivers by Boston. He also played for Arizona and Detroit in between and was a member of the Pirates organization. He was involved in the deal that sent Curt Schilling to Boston from Arizona.

20 Major- league starts for Lyon to begin his career, all with Toronto in 2001 and 2002. Since May 20, 2002, he has made 447 relief appearance for the Jays, Red Sox, Diamondbacks, Tigers and Astros. He made one more start for the Jays on June 11, 2002.

21 Age of Perez, whom the Jays traded away in the deal. Baseball Prospectus writer Kevin Goldstein told radio station Sportsnet 590 on Friday that although Perez is repeating the season at low Class-a Lansing, he could still become a serviceable major league catcher who is strong defensively.

31.1 The percentage of out-of-zone swings Happ has induced this season, tied for 20th among 57 NL pitchers who currently qualify for the ERA title. He is tied with Giants pitchers Matt Cain and Lincecum, who have had wildly different seasons.

41 Selection used by the Jays to take Wojciechowski in the supplemental first round of the 2010 draft. In his third minor league season, he is also repeating a level at high ClassA Dunedin where he was 7-3 with a 3.57 ERA this season.

43.5 Percentage of cut fastballs that Lyon throws, his primary pitch. As the Diamondbacks closer in 2008, he threw 71.3% fastballs and 25.7% curves. In 2010, he threw more sliders than any other pitch. Now, like many back-end relievers, he’s heavy on cutters this season with the rest split between fastballs (29.2%) and curves (23.5%).

46 Selection used by the Jays to take Musgrove in the supplemental first round of the 2011 draft. At 6-foot-5 and still just 19 years old, some scouts believe he could be the steal of the deal. But he has yet to even reach 40 innings pitched in the minors.

46.9 Happ’s groundball percentage this season, which has spiked to a career high.

49 Career minor-league saves for Carpenter.

50 Total number of at-bats for Ben Francisco as a member of the Blue Jays. He compiled six singles, five doubles and one triple.

64 Career minor-league hits for Carpenter, the catcher. He hit .208 in 307 at-bats at four minor-league levels, nothing higher than Double-a.

78 Career major-league saves for Lyon.

90.3 Happ’s average fastball speed this season, a career high. Sources: Astros media guide,
