I like Wilson's bat speed.

I'm been trying to place who his body type reminds me of, and I figured it out. Marlon Byrd.

I can see that with his bulky legs. I love how he does not try to do too much.

The front office it's going to have to sit wash down and tell him, "Get choice in the lineup, period. No less than four days a week."

Seriously, why would Beane have let this guy go?

Cause COCO cannot hit LHP. And he's not that good at CF. Gentry is and just made sense for them.

0-2 and throw 3 straight balls. So at 3-2 the hitter knows he has to go after him.

I can see that. Platoon him with Martin and rotate him around to give choo abd Rios time off. Mitch may be SOL.

Now you can see what I was saying? Weren't you the one telling me that Martin is our everyday CF when I was saying that I could see choice getting AB's at all 3 OF positions, especially in CF against LH?

That was before I saw choice absolutely raking.

Mitch is not doing himself any favors.

They had Choice set up after that 2nd strike for a curveball and threw a nasty one down in the dirt and he held up and they came back with another one and he stayed with it and grounded to 3rd. Even in making an out he showed good bat control and a good eye.

I seriously didn't want to see Mitch in the outfield much anyway. I like this plan and hopefully it will push Martin.

I said it before he was raking too, although he was hitting well at the beginning too. I just liked everything about the kid.

Feb 27th: Rudyrangerfan said he was beginning to think Beane pulled a fast one on JD. Then you said "trust the Rangers scouting team, they did their homework."

Good call there.
