Me too

childish insults for childish insults lainey...that's what it is with you. Selective reading helps too I suppose.

difference between the two...well, Lets see
Short has the longest throw in the infield while second has a little more difficult pivot. Both require range and both take many relay throws. Slow rollers require a do or die type play and both positions move on bunt coverages. Who takes the bag on a steal is most often determined by the pitch call.

what did I miss?

Offensive expectations are a little different as well. I think that's the point she's driving at.

I'm calling for a resolution to obtaining a left fielder not named Profar or Kinsler. Who will open the bidding?

Well I'll open. How about Choo?

I'm in for Choo, and I'll give you my last $24 and whatever terps has to say from now till death.

Not much on either front, but it is what it is.

I really think the Rangers have a world of open opportunities available on just what I can see, and I assure you, I see so little in comparison to JD.

you are a so childish with this supposed insult. why don't you grow up?

you get no pass scotty
insult for insult
avoid the post next time

I think I've decided choo and Napoli are my preferred acquisitions for this winter.

I'm sorry....I don't understand that. Productive hitters can be found at 2nd and short.
No?

Sure, but I think power expectations are different. Elvis hits for almost no power. Sure he laces some doubles in the gap, but because he's such a stellar defender at short nobody really cares. A little more is expected of second base in the power and run producing department. A guy who hits less than 5 homers a year at second based is criticized more than a short stop.

Hey, that's what I said earlier after running through all options left. Great minds I guess...

I wouldn't mind Morales instead of Napoli either.

I still wait to sign Cruz. That would solve a couple of things and no one seems to be in a rush to pick him up. Thoughts?

Can't imagine you'd hurt feeling one here with those two.

I'm sorry to you....maybe I shouldn't of posted our top two hitters were 11th in runs scored
things went to hell in a hand basket from there

Nor I. Though I'm not sure how much he's looking to get.

The problem with signing Cruz is it takes choo off the table. One just has to prefer which you'd prefer. My preference is choo and Napoli or Morales.

I'd like to see him stay home. But I don't get a positive feeling the FO feels same.

Cruz was an avg/below avg fielder in RF. But he may be avg/above avg in LF IMO.

His bat is needed, he's a good guy and team loves him, he can DH, could fill in RF for rest/injury.

Shoot, we could do worse.

YOU need not be sorry. Your opinions are as good as anyone's and that's all they are any way. Just opinions. no problem here.

 

[romeo212000]

You didn't answer my question though pday. What do you expect profar's line to be at the all star break next year?

Avg/obp/slugging/hr/rbi

 

[Justinkm83]

Me neither. I haven't heard much on him. He would have less of a problem being the DH than Napoli.

Problem is, Cruz will want to play the field. He won't sign on to be the primary dh.

Either of those guys. would be great, if we got choo and would slot perfectly behind Beltre.
