Immediately I thought of Gallo although without a big extension I bet he tries FA minus injury or regression ( please no)

 

[Kelleyman]

huge damn mistake.

I would’ve tried hard to resign this guy. He carried us through some games.

Please?? SMH

The big difference is that Yelich has already played 6 and a half seasons. He has proven himself several times over. Those kind of guys are safe to extend.

Lol. Let's just save some time, and each of us can go back in their mind to our previous conversations about this, and just put a lot of dittos after each of our previous statements.

Fair enough?

 

[DT LUNA]

Please?? SMH

Well....it has been very slow lately

 

[Kelleyman]

We do major in reactionary

 

[saddles]

Would anyone be interested in replacing Choo with Cruz next year?

Maybe Castellanos opts out, amd we get him instead.

At what cost

 

[saddles]

At what cost

That probably depends in large part on how he does this year.

One of the major mistakes this FO made was not figuring out a way to re-sign Nelson Cruz

No one in their right mind would have thought Cruz would have kept producing the way he has. It's only a "mistake" thanks to hindsight.

Me and several others on this board badly wanted to keep him when JD let him go.

Lol. One of these days we will hear the same lame claim of hindsight regarding Rendon. It is comical.

It must be a part of the JD Fanclub playbook. Knowing how to falsely claim someone is using hindsight, when they really aren't, must be one of the requirements to get your pom poms and your lifesize Jon Daniels poster.

No one disputes that

 

[Kelleyman]

I think everyone wanted Cruz after Baltimore got him in the cheap. We did the offer and he refused wanting long term offer. All MLB did not offer long term offer. He did us dirty taking suspension and hurting playoff hopes

Not one person stated we should sign him long term. He has done better than all expected

It is just hater rhetoric to bash front office because that is what haters do. Obviously made mistakes like many do and did minus Orioles who were smart then but are now floor dwellers

Nothing to do with POM POM name calling. But go on believe what you like
It is laughable

 

[Kelleyman]

FWIW I root for Rangers not JD. Yet many on this board root against Ranger players and org. Situations are not always ideal but not a bad idea to find a positive. Bad plans work at times if people back them. That is for free

LOL Certainly glad it is free. Not worth paying for. Most people do not back bad plans whatever that means. Most all on this board root for the Ranger team not necessarily for individuals who keep the team from prospering and keeping better players from helping achieve team goals.

Never let facts get in the way of a chance to slam JD.

Wasn’t Cruz asking for $13-14M a year and ended up signing for $8M?
