Texas Rangers 2021 - 2022 Offseason Thread

worth a look

only if guaranteed. projections are just that projections and i haven't seen very many projections come close when you're talking baseball.

but yes it is worth a look as long as we don't do the usual and lock on 1 and do nothing else.

worth a look

best hitter on the team if he produces that line (compared to the 2021 squad)

projections are projections they aren't worth the time to look at them. if we looked at every projection as gospel then we would be signing a lot of bad choices and passing on signing others.

besides which my main point is that there are 6+ other teams that are looking long and hard at him so we should have alternative plans that i have more faith in.

Believe they have number 2 ranked farm. Shedding players to make room

they DFA'ed 4 from the 40 and no other team claimed them that's not shedding. i imagine we'll start doing the same thing within the next couple of weeks.

Jeff Wilson describes a great situation for the Rangers to be in, in this article about Duran.

Duran is ranked fifth among Rangers prospects by Baseball America, one spot behind Justin Foscue, one ahead of Smith and two ahead of Luisangel Acuna.

Those three play Duran’s two primary positions, second base and shortstop. The Rangers believe Duran could also play third base, where No. 2 prospect Josh Jung plays.

The Rangers are also believed to be in the hunt for one of the big-name free-agent shortstops available this offseason.

Where Duran fits in all of this, or if he fits at all, is to be determined. Once again, as was the case, four years ago, Duran is simply happy to have the opportunity.

“I always see everything as an opportunity,” Duran said. “Some people look at things as good or bad, but I look as everything as an opportunity.”

You can only hope it is handled right and I'm not sure how to handle it. Kid gloves are in order here.

Yep. Our shedding is about to pick up some steam as well.

when the time comes we see what direction we need to go

i don't think any of us will be happy with all the choices but that's normal.

By the time the 2023 trade deadline comes around we may have some very valuable trade chips available. It will be fun to see how these guys develop next year.

not in any hurry to start trading away valuable prospects

Man, hope I’m not overbearing

The internet is not always a safe place….hmmmm

Some people are thin skinned, some don't like what they consider to be know it all's and some folks leave because their isn't enough action...

 

[Uncle Siggy]

We also lost our Admin guy, Fordman. I think the SportsHoopla higherups alienated him.

You do know there is a Rangers Forum over there where he's at, it's kinda dead though but could be livened up...
