rangers trade thoughts........

Braun suspended for rest of season | MLB.com Mobile

Wonder why he is accepting it without appeal? There's something else going on we don't see. Also wonder if they're going after anyone else or if they're just happy to get their guy.

Wondering if he snitching everybody out.

He might just be trying to save the Brewers money for a FA pitcher if he doesn't think he would win his appeal.

So whats everyones guess on who the Bat will be?

My guess? rios. In another 10 days Colorado could be another 5 games out. Could be cuddyer as well. Rios is a safer bet though.

That may go down to the wire on the 31st. Rios good bet.

I believe it will go down to the wire.

No way Nolan and JD trade for a 2 month rental #3 pitcher if the best offensive weapon this pathetically bad offense currently has is about to be suspended. Tell me they know something we don't. Because if we lose Cruz, we just became the Miami Marlins. Even with Garza.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Yes that looks very nice indeed. Sure hope all of them can stay healthy the rest of the year.

This is a very good rotation...if healthy! Hope they can keep the ERA below 2.00! May need to with t his offense.

Do you ever not bitch?

Romeo, you've literally said "Fuck this team" about a 100 times already this season. Which is a 100 more than I have. Seriously, you need a filter...and a mirror.

I bleed red and blue, and yes I'm frustrated with this team. But I also celebrate and cheer them on. I've never seen you post one positive thing about this team.

JD had to start some where. Thanks to his good work we have a starting pitcher. Will he get us a bat? I'll let you know when he shows. Kidding. I believe he will because he would not have spent prospects on Garza if he had no intentions of adding more help.

The Braun suspension is really burying the Garza trade in the sports news.

I agree. JD knows this team needs more than garza. Probably why he pushed to get this done as quickly as he did.

Honestly, outside of Cruz's year and Nathan's dominance in the 9th, there hasn't been a whole lot of positive this season. Certainly, Perez has been a nice surprise and Martin has swung a good bat, but otherwise:

Darvish is not the ace we were counting on. Murphy looks terrible as a starter. Andrus is having one of the worst seasons of any everyday position player in all of MLB. The defense has been a joke, especially outfield, Kinsler and Elvis. AJP and Berkman are back end of career guys with very little left. The injuries have been unreal. Hitting with risp has been abysmal. The baserunning has been like a litlte league team. Wash still seems to get outmanaged on a daily basis.

All I'm saying is one 2 month pitching rental can't and won't address the myriad of problems on this team, many of which come down to coaching and lack of talent and bad luck. I want to contend for years to come. I'm willing to ride out a tough 2013, keep our powder dry, clear some salary and keep our valuable trade assets for the offseason.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Do we go for the Cuban pitcher too? I say yes! I love spending other people's money!

Wow, are you the Angel's poster known on ESPN as Rally Gorilla?

Don't know enough to make that call and neither do any of us. I have to trust the rangers FO.
