Buy or Sell

[jta4437]

Sell. He will be the primary DH through the remainder of his contract. Wash will see to that.



Josh Hamilton signs a minimum 7 year contract for 24+ mil a year... But not with Texas.

Buy. Dodgers go big and Hamilton goes all Darryl Strawberry in LA and is cracked out of the league within 5 years

Michael Young's final WAR number is lower than -1 (currently at -.8)

 

[romeo212000]

Sell. I think Perez will be in the bullpen. He wll still be only 22 next year and will get another year of experience before getting his chance of starting in 2014.

Opening day rotation for 2013 in this exact order. Darvish, Harrison, Greinke, Holland, Ross

In that order?

Sell. MY has been dismal and while I don't think he'll turn into 2011 MY in the second half he will be better.






Leonys Martin wins rookie of the year in 2013.

 

[fanman8825]

In that order?

Yes indeed

Sell. No Greinke

Napoli ends the year batting .250 with 25 HRs and 75 RBIs or better

I'll buy. Still have faith in Naps and those numbers are realistic.

Rangers will rid themselves of Yorvitt. He is not on the 2013 opening day roster

Buy. Texas will look for a trade to find a suitable catcher to help naps with his catching duties.







Texas will sign Naps to a relatively friendly team deal.

Sell/Buy

By rid I assume you mean trade or DFA b/c he's a FA after this year, and I don't think he'll be back next year, but I don't think they're getting rid of him this year

Rangers will trade for Justin Upton by offering a Olt, Neil Ramirez, Luis Sardinas "type" package

I have faith in Napoli too ... but YT will not be on any team's 2013 opening day roster ... so no sense keeping him around for the balance of the season.

TEX needs to make a move before the deadline to get Nap some backup. If that turns out to be a true #1 ... well great. There is plenty of playing time for Napoli at C, 1b, and DH.

 

[romeo212000]

You gotta play the game winding.

Sell. MY has been dismal and while I don't think he'll turn into 2011 MY in the second half he will be better.






Leonys Martin wins rookie of the year in 2013.

Sell. Not doubting he might have a stellar 2013 season ... but with Moreland not projected to return until late July ... Martin will be extremely close to the 45days on the active roster.

Determining rookie status:
A player shall be considered a rookie unless, during a previous season or seasons, he has (a) exceeded 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the Major Leagues; or (b) accumulated more than 45 days on the active roster of a Major League club or clubs during the period of 25-player limit (excluding time in the military service and time on the disabled list).

Many see Kinsler moving to the OF down the line ... but what Kinsler at 1b? (With Olt at 3b, Andrus/Profar at SS/2b, and Beltre DH)

Sell. Ian would be in the OF before he'd be at 1b. His bat plays better as an OF too.






Beltre transitions to 1b with Olt moving in to be the full time 3b by 2015.

Very definitely buy.

Assuming both are healthy ... if it comes down to Colby or Oswalt in the post season rotation... TEX goes with Colby.

Buy. Oswalt won't like it, but he won't even be a starter in October. Colby has the track record with Texas and has been utterly dominant in the post season.







Texas faces the angels in the ALCS.

believe that both Nap and Yor are free agents this off-season

Buy that too ... (gulp) ... thank goodness for HFA.

BTW back one buy/sell ... the odds of my premise that both Colby and Oswalt are healthy at the end of the regular season forcing TEX to make a choice between them is not that good. That's one reason why TEX is going to keep Feliz stretched out to SP. Odds are he'll be back in the rotation by the end of August one way or another. So ...



It's not beyond the realm of possibility that TEX post season rotation could be ... Darvish, Harrison, Feliz, Holland.

then i re-sign Nap and use Alfaro as the backup

 

[romeo212000]

Is that your statement? Texas re signs Naps and brings Alfaro up for 2013?

Sell ... although maybe part of it. (just trying to help)
