A visit to the house of horrors.......Oakland 09/22-09/24

Knew that wa out of here by the crack of the bat. Not thinking we resign Gonzales. Need young pitchers to perform next year as he loads the bases

No way this idiot should be on the Rangers next year he sucks.

Gonzales is yet another great pickup by our awesome GM. Way to go JD! You're on quite the roll!

escaping a bases loaded, no out jam was unexpected.

He totally should have traded for Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Why does our offense always go into a funk when we play the A's? There pitching isn't very good.

My point being that JD had a nice run as GM that ended a few years ago. The trades he has made and the contracts he has signed have been absolutely awful in recent years.

I know people worship the guy but the fact is he's become one of the worst GMs in baseball. Knowing the Ranger Rebuild is on his watch is terrible news for us unless he suddenly gets a heck of a lot better at his job.

Knee jerk much. We gave up very little for a legit MLB starter in Gonzalez. We have a perennial good farm producing MLB players minus pitching. Been very competitive on his watch. You need to rethink this one.

Patiently waiting for your proof.

 

[Kelleyman]

JD protégés coveted on open market. Case and point Levine keeping the faith for Buxton who would be great fit for Rangers but will never happen

He 's got his proof hanging

That part about "minus pitching" is kind of important don't you think?

JD signed one of the worst players in baseball to a a multi year deal that no team would touch now. Traded Darvish for a kid with no defensive position. Has assembled one of the worst bullpens in baseball. Traded Brinson for players who no longer even play for Texas.

Shall I go on?

well, if your goal was to show your lack of baseball understanding, then nah, you've accomplished it.

 

[Nightcrawler]

This series has been a giant kick to the nuts

Got shut the fuck down by some nobody with an era over 6.00

Please enlighten me with all the great moves JD has made recently. Convince me, on balance, how he's been doing a great job the last few seasons.

You're up.

So in order to prove he's not a horrible GM, I have to prove he's a great one? Sorry, not interested in playing your bullshit game.

He's had middle ground success. Not as good as I'd like, not as bad as you seem to think.

 

[jaar01]

And please pay special attention to all the great starting pitchers the Rangers have brought up to the majors that have been cultivated on JDs watch.
