Rangers close out May with a helping of seafood at the Grill: TB @ TEX 5/30 - 6/2

[saddles]

We should be like them.

We were when we traded Gallo.

 

[DTC]

Acuna hit another home run today. Wonder if he will come quick.

 

[DTC]

Cameron Cauley, who started off looking way over matched in his first 20 ABs going 0 for 20, is now hitting .245 with a .358 OBP and 9 SB over his last 53 AB. Seems to be learning quick. He’s straight out of normal high school(not an academy or special program) Hoping he fills out a little over the next couple of years and becomes something.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

The Rangers are only 2 games out of second place

 

[saddles]

Leclerc throws two shutout innings giving up one hit and no walks while striking out two.

 

[saddles]

Two more doubles for Duran tonight.

 

[DTC]

So what do they do with Jung, Smith, Duran and Foscue?
How do they all fit on the team?
What does 2023 look like?

 

[Kelleyman]

He was not the worst but we needed to make room. Had mentioned a potential trade earlier

Well unless Foscue plays 1B which is not happening it is hard to envision all on the team Think Jung and Duran start and Smith can play a anywhere. Maybe Foscue can DH but there is competition there too
Harris and Crim want a spot

I think Foscue goes to AAA next year, along with Harris.

3B Jung
LF Duran
CF Smith
1B Crim

Crim is definitely going to compete for some DH/1B abs

 

[DTC]

I think Foscue goes to AAA next year, along with Harris.

3B Jung
LF Duran
CF Smith
1B Crim

I was thinking Foscue to AAA around mid to late July.
I wonder who has the stronger arm between Foscue and Duran, I would assume Duran.
Maybe Duran can be our future RF and Foscue in LF?

I could see a trade of Taveras/Thompson, one bullpen arm whos over shining and not part of our future and maybe Hauver and Vanasco for a good SP?

Or, Harris in the OF with Duran and Smith, and Foscue at DH. I just don't know if Foscue and Harris will be ready to start the season here.

 

[DTC]

Foscue worries me that he maybe injury prone.
Had the rib issue last year. Back issues to start the season and is now on the injured list again.
Anyone know what his current injury is?

I just hope they don’t trade the wrong one. Be grateful this isn’t the same front office who selected Joaquin arias on a list that had Robinson cano.

That is starting to concern me as well, but sometimes those things disappear as quickly as they materialized.

Jung probably opens 2023 as the Rangers starting 3rd Baseman.
Smith probably becomes the Rangers UIF
Duran and Foscue probably open the season at AAA

read it was back soreness again

 

[Duane1952]

I could see Smith being somewhere in the outfield next season.

 

[DT LUNA]

Listening and reading above comments, that leaves Semien, Seaver, Huff, Heim and maybe Garcia all that will be coming back as position starters. That only leaves four starting positions and bench. Who likely will they be?
