2022 Texas Rangers Spring Training Thread

Possibly, although I'm not well versed in our prospects. Right now I prefer to hang on to them.

I wouldn’t mind trading a few for a proven stud with 4 years of team control left, especially considering we just signed Seager and Semien.
The clock is now ticking

Yes we obviously need OF help but don’t think there is any value adding these guys especially defensively

We are surely not in a win now at all costs mode
Obviously Castellanos is a great hitter but we need some defense too

Bet Trevor Story could play CF haha

Re signing or trading -

sure if it is a true fit but best to play the field before you consummate anything
Your hate to make a move too early and end up with anything that won’t satisfy.

Be nice to see him kick the shit out of other teams

Bryan Reynolds would be a nice pick up lol

Garrett Richards is a Ranger

Garrett Richards is a Ranger

definitely not as bad as Folty.

I feel like the team still needs one right handed power bat that can play OF.

His name is Blaine Crim.

We have two, Blaine Crim and Justin Foscue.

Crim and Foscue.

slightly better

When I see this and what Jays are doing

I think it foolish to feel a sense of urgency to add just any LF to make us marginally better,
We made 2 huge splashes and one underrated move at catcher who to me looks like could be a key winning piece

So we are still in the middle of a slow burn rebuild......definitely past the midpoint but probably best to tap the brakes lest we miss the turn

Can not agree more.

Our window has not opened yet albeit starting to crack open. Crazy trades will not get us to the promise land without extensions like the Olsen trade

 

[Kelleyman]

Definitely excited about our prospects especially pitching. And I get to some they are only prospects

However some of these prospects will have to produce and produce big at the MLB level for us to be serious WS contenders which we are not even close to this year.

The Rangers ownership stepped up to the table finally but they will never be ones that attempt to buy a World Series. The prospects must produce ....so we will have to wait.

I hope we maximize our draft pick this year. It might be the best we get in quite a while

yep. agree with all your posts this AM.

farm is currently ranked 11th in MLB, and we have 5 players on the recent top 100. And we have the 3rd pick this year.

the knock on the Rangers has been they don't have home grown talent. if we can mix these big contract guys with some home grown talent and some trades along the way, that's a great recipe for success.
