I think the Rangers should go back to Rua in LF and Gallo at 3B, but who knows what they will do.

Hope you have it right. Robinson has no business in the bigs now.

I think we can wave goodbye to Beltre's value as a trade piece now. And I'm 100% OK with that.

Hope he is traded otherwise he has no chance for a ring and he so much deserves one.

Why is that? It wasn't expected that he was going to stay healthy all year anyway. Now, if he got injured in late July I would agree, but him getting injured now shouldn't affect his trade value in July at all.

I want him to win a WS, but for this year I mainly want to get something fro him instead of losing him at the end of the year for nothing. If he goes to the championship team then all the better, but he will have a chance to sign with the right team at the end of the year also.

That is a bad plan, but not a surprising one. This team finds more and more bad plans to implement it seems.

Sounds like to me that Gallo is being groomed for LF to keep Guzman at 1B and IKF and Profar somewhere in the IF until Andrus and Odor return. If someone could get Odor back to where he was 2 years ago that would be great but so far that is not happening.

I suppose they see much less in Rua than Robinson. IDK

I agree, but a lot has to go a certain way for that to even be a possibility.

This is true. But it's also true there is a 100% chance of him not getting a ring if he stays here.

call me crazy but I would leave Gallo in LF, move Profar to 3B, Kiner-Falefa to SS and bring up Andy Ibanez to play 2B if Beltre's injury keeps him down for a while. gives us a chance to see another of our future stars in action

I'd be on board with this, especially now that DDJ is back, and Robinson was exposed in an extended look

Depends on what the think would be the better defensive combination since both Gallo and Rua can play 3B and LF
