2022 Texas Rangers Spring Training Thread

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Seems like a good spot to mention that there's no need to overhaul the entire team in a single offseason

 

[Uncle Siggy]

that's mid-season so what are we going to start with on Apr 7th

A bunch of players that they want to showcase for trades, or to see if they're worth keeping or finding out what they might have in some younguns, lot of stuff going on right now...

 

[saddles]

So glad we didn't get Sonny Gray.

Yes, this was never supposed to be a one year buying process.

 

[saddles]

There is still a chance that the Rangers will allow the final spot to go to one of the younger guys. Maybe as a placeholder for Cole Winn.

4 of the spots right are young guys:

Jon Gray
Dane Dunning
Taylor Hearn
Kolby Allard
John King
Spencer Howard
A.J Alexy

are listed as our possible projected starters on the Texas Rangers website

And Martin Perez

i was quoting the website and they hadn't included him and it slipped my mind. hell i guess we should have included Matt Moore too

true but we still need to a competent and somewhat competitive team on the field, and we have some bad holes. we have a projected outfield of Willie, Adolis and Kole that with the exception of Adolis has a history of not being able to stay on the field and the other 2 have total fielding runs above average of -14 and -19 for 2021 which not a vote of confidence. we are well below average at 3rd base, and we have no one to fill the DH

Let’s get Castellanos
Then trade for a CF and a SP

we really should address 3rd Base too. someone on a 1 year deal.

 

[Kelleyman]

My guess is Willie is primary DH:COF and Kole is COF/sec DH. Thinking we are still in market for another OF

 

[Kelleyman]

Also I am still counting this as last year of rebuild and doubt we stack our club with a bunch of 1 year deals that really don’t dramatically improve the club

 

[Kelleyman]

Oh well

not wanting to overhaul the whole team in a single off-season just want something better than last year. Pitching-wise we are worse off, 3rd base is a black hole, willie and kole should not be on the field at the corners more than twice a week each and we have no DH. granted the center of the batting order is going to hit so we will score better than last year

 

[scotsman1948]

any thoughts on a trade for J. D. Davis to handle 3rd this year? won't cost much in trade pieces or financially due $2500000 this year

 

[scotsman1948]

Cueto

Pineda

Grienke

any interest in 1 of these

I like JD Davis
Wouldn’t mind having him at all. 3B/DH
He can hit very well
Has 3 years of team control left too!
Age 29-31 seasons.
I would love to get him
