His swing is so long. He's constantly behind in the count and doesn't have the bat control to fight off pitches. He looked so good early on. What a disappointment.

I thought he had the bat speed and quick hands to counteract that swing, but apparently not

Ugh..I hate that we were wrong about him. Because he showed such potential.

I was right there with you guys. I haven't completely given up on him. Hopefully we get a new hitting coach and maybe he gets him to cut that swing down. He'll certainly get another shot in ST. The thing I hated was he was so hot in ST and then sat to start the year for days. He deserved to start at DH.

Guy has foul pole to foul pole power.

Looks like Feliz will be the closer next year.

Why do so many Rangers seem to swing at the first pitch of almost every AB, regardless if the opposing pitcher is throwing strikes or not

Derek with 3 straight games of 7 innings or more with no walks, unbelievable for him. Ties a record with Fergie Jenkins and only the second time its ever happened in Rangers history. Great Job Derek

Never liked the trade... I knew it was the right trade to make based on potential and upside but I was never a Choice fan... I only rooted for him to make it bc of what we gave up to get him

Derek looking like a 1 1/2 for sure. Now we need a 3 and 4. We got lots of #5's. :L

What happened to the 2B we got in that deal. Where did he end up?

I sure hope we land a couple proven guys that could fill those spots in the rotation vs. trying to pull pieces off the scrap heap hoping they will all of the sudden have comeback years
