Series Thread: Series With Rays Begins Among Trade Rumors July 21 - 23

[Nightcrawler]

Sell, sell, sell!

But ask for a King's ransom for Darvish.

I expect Lucroy and Napoli to be traded.

2017 is effectively over and its time to look to 2019 and beyond.

Beltre's chase to 3000 is the best thing going on. When that ends all focus should be on the future of this franchise. We should target 2019 and sell every possible asset that could help us be a contender again in a couple of seasons.

I'm starting to think it's true. This guy only shows up when things are going poorly. I mean we just got swept by friggin Baltimore who is terrible.

Wrong thread ?

Wrong thread ?

No I was talking about Jaar. I remember other people have said that he only shows up when the Rangers are doing poorly.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

The Rangers aren't getting a king's ransom for Darvish.

Baseball America has updated its Rangers Top Ten Prosper list.

1. Leody Taveras, CF
2. Ronald Guzman, 1B
3. Bubba Thompson, OF
4. Yohander Mendez, LHP
5. Cole Ragans, LHP
6. Ariel Jurado, RHP
7. Miguel Aparicio, OF
8. Hans Crouse, RHP
9. Josh Morgan, C/SS
10. Joe Palumbo, LHP

Still keeping an eye on Muetello, Bennie. Kid has been injured a couple of times but turning it around I hope.

You might want to stick with soccer. Might do better at it.

Definitely. Not another Hooplan with better soccer knowledge. I've been right on my Rangers predictions, as well

Yes, he is one to watch.

I don't remember seeing your predictions on our predictions thread.

Not at all. Been very busy with the rest of life but still keeping up with the Rangers.

Just happen to catch them on the wrong end of a 4 game sweep but nonetheless this team is not going to contend this year or the next with the current roster. Make some savvy deals, draft well, and unload bad contracts like Choo if at all possible and rebuild. And get Beltre to a contender for 2018 so he's got one final chance to win.

I don't want to be staring up at the ASStros for the next 5 years so better to sell off now than hover around .500 for a couple years with no real progress being made.

I agree.... Choo has been a horrendous deal.

I don't remember anyone agreeing with me about Hamilton, either. Called it.

If we sell, it'll be a lot longer than 5 years of being in the shit house.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

In what is hopefully NOT Yu Darvish's final start with the Rangers....

That doesn't have to be the case at all. The Yankees were sellers last season I believe.

Your doomsday rebuilding philosophy has no place here amongst those of us with a much more positive approach to rebuilding. lol

BS is your game

I hope he does well. Maybe drive up the price if he hurls a gem.

This is incorrect. What did exactly did people disagree with on on regarding Hamilton?

 

[handicappers]

I said Hamilton was a piece of garbage for what he did to the Rangers and Angels and NO WAY he should have a spot on the roster. All you guys were defending him.

in the end, Handi nailed it.

 

[TJL]

Easy sweep for the Rays

Well that isn't true. He came back on the cheap and spent most of his time injured and on the DL.
