Series Thread: There's no place like home: Rangers host A's 7/25-7/27

The damning number for him is 9, 9 walks that's pathetic

Absolutely and it's keeping him from being an outstanding leadoff hitter.

Odor never had and never will have the make up of a lead off hitter. Get that out of your head. Middle of the order? Sure. Fifth is actually a nice spot for him as he's dangerous enough to make you pitch a little to the guy in front of him.

Agree with ya. Not taking walks is part of the "make up" you refer too.

Thanks Murph. I read somewhere that they were moving Perez back a day. Guess that was wrong.

Fielder having surgery

[darrylgann]

Surgery will be similar to what Fielder had in 2014. Fusion process will result in additional decline in flexibility

He needs to be gone.

He needs to be gone.

Career ending surgery I suspect. Can't imagine anyone wanting him.

 

[darrylgann]

He needs to be gone.

He needs to retire so we can save the money we owe him the next three or four years.

Dude just needs to be done and retire.

Gallo has to get a look soon.

Cubs To Acquire Aroldis Chapman

By Steve Adams | July 25, 2016 at 11:03am CDT

After months of being linked to power left-handed arms for the bullpen, the Cubs have landed the hardest-throwing pitcher in the game, reportedly agreeing to acquire Aroldis Chapman from the Yankees in exchange for four players, according to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports (via Twitter). Shortstop prospect Gleyber Torres will head to the Yankees as the centerpiece of the deal, and the Yankees will also be reunited with right-hander Adam Warren, who is being included as part of the return for Chapman as well. Additionally, the Yankees will land top outfield prospect and former first-round pick Billy McKinney.

It appears the Cubs are trying to get Chapman to agree to a 4 year 60 million dollar contract in order to complete the trade as well

Cubs are idiots for doing this.

I'm all for him playing and being wanted next season. As long as it isn't us doing the playing and wanting. ha
