Hopefully some home cooking cures what ails the Rangers: NYY @ TEX 4/27-30

I will take 6 innings with only 1 run given up from Mr. Lucky.

That is a team leading(for starters) 2.41 ERA he is sporting now. His ERA is .26 lower than deGrom and he has thrown 3 more innings than deGrom.

He's proven himself. Now dude needs a contract extension. He might end up being even better than last year.

Food for thought @Nightcrawler

He's busy watching Odor highlights

Sam Huff was mentioned a couple of days ago. Over his last 25 AB he is hitting .400.

A Route = A WIN,15-2

YRod not impressive

He needs to be crushing AAA pitching for awhile before I consider bringing him up

Good stuff but control issues. Looked like he experimented with offspeed but only did well on a couple of those pitches
Maybe Maddux can help him

Hate to say it despite the elite stuff but three years of Teem may be more productive than 3 years of JDG. Have to roll the dice sometimes. Get that. Flags fly forever

I imagine he will get traded this summer. Then his new team can bring him up.

Staying in AAA playing regularly to me does not mean he does not have a significant role with the Rangers. Do not catchers develop slower?
It is becoming rarer for teams to call any guys up straight from AA especially position players

How is he any worse than Leody and Bubba?

Leody is in a class all by himself. He has had a lot more big league at bats than the other two have.

I think most likely, both Leody and Bubba will have nice careers as bench players.

Some team will most likely give Huff a chance to start. I doubt he gets that chance here.

He wouldn't get as much playing time as he is now.

He has almost 500 AB above AA already.

I think other teams will value him higher than the Rangers do and that usually results in a trade.

Same with Acuna. Other teams will see him as a starting SS and the Rangers can't.

That could happen. Perez has been a pretty healthy pitcher, unlike the deGrominator.

Rangers off to their best start in over a decade, and we're debating whether or not Sam Huff should be playing at the MLB level.

It's a debate for the ages

It's not a debate. It is a question if he can produce more than Leody and Bubba. Those two are basicly useless at the plate.
