Series Thread: Rangers Host the White Sox for Three Games August 1-3

[saddles]

No I could see both staying with the team and still bring up Foscue and Martinez by dfa’ing Miller and Grossman

I will be fine with them at least getting a chance to play for the team next year, along with Crim and Davis Wendzel.

Smith, Miller, and Grossman are not lineup regulars. They're bench players. They're not expected to put up great numbers. They're there to give the starters a break. Replacing them with AAA players because they're not putting up great numbers seems counter-productive.

As for Duran, well, the Rangers are going to have to figure out what to do with him.

So why not give them some time with the MLB club? We need to at some time so why not the last couple of months? That’s what we did with Jung last year?

Finding a time and place will be difficult

We weren't in a pennant race last year.

So as long as we’re in a race they don’t get a chance. Might as well trade them

The Rangers not bringing up prospects even though you think they should is not the same as "not giving them a chance."

Okay when?

Okay when?

I have no clue. But in my opinion, doing it now doesn't make sense. I don't see any advantage to it.

Both are knocking AAA around and as options at LF, DH etc they can’t be worse than Miller, Smith, Grossman or Duran

Duran is still hitting .280+ and hit over .300 for the previous 3 months, slow down on Duran, he had a bad July

Miller and Grossman sure, but I'd rather they be buried on the bench than a prospect, Foscue is not guaranteed to be better than Smith but Smith is already on the 40 man

Okay I would just like see him and JP instead of Miller and Grossman

Is Jon Gray hurt? Or just being rested? Don't see him in the upcoming probable pitchers right now.

Haven’t anything since he was hit on the shin by a line drive

 

[Kelleyman]

Still a percentage point ahead of them.

Lol I said urge exact same thing

Agree and you can't compare Jung with either of the others.
