I saw today that the Angels, want their candidates to take a 2 hour written test.

 

[scotsman1948]

Don't do that. If we all agreed it would get very boring in here.

I know was very tired and off my game when I posted that

 

[scotsman1948]

Apparently the Rangers weren't kidding when they said they had a list of 40 possible

Not sure this is a great loss.

He seemed to be "more of the same", when a lot of us expected a different approach.

 

[saddles]

Well, this is out of left field.

 

[Kelleyman]

Well, this is out of left field.

To me this is admission of 2 things

1 JD wanted and needed more help on the analytics side. Cubs are ahead of the curve. Bonus. They thought more of our batting coach lost than many Ranger fans

2. Jayce Tingler is probably going to change roles and my guess is that he is exact type JD likes in a field role. This hire is a hedge to fill in just in case of a loss. BTW. Tingler also interviewing for Thad and the Twins

My main beef was a need for better situational hitting despite overall OPS push/lUnch angles etc

Adam Morris was insinuating yesterday that since the Cubs wanted our hitting coach that that meant he was a really good hitting coach. I disagree. Every decision by good clubs isn't necessarily the right decision. Good clubs can make several bad decisions.

Rangers to hire Shiraz Rehman as assistant GM

 

[saddles]

I am glad the Front Office is getting some needed help.

Can we get a hitting coach who emphasizes Situational hitting? We seem to be worst in the league at getting runners home from 3rd base with less than 2 outs. Worst in the league at it for the last 5 or 6 years probably.

I think we need better hitters in general.
