2014 Offseason Plans Thread

Romeo how are the GSP's? I owe you a scotch for the heads up on the FastPass otherwise i might have missed it myself as I didn't get an alert from the Rangers site like i have in the past. Sorry they sold out before you got in. Depends on any signings or trades, next year might be better anyway

They're good man. These pups are fun to watch. Got my female with the trainer now. She's having some come to Jesus time down there.

Well I don't know what's going to happen honestly.

Not to sound in any way discouraging but I'm kinda with DT's last post. A little bit disappointed today. Expected more and held out hope from Terp's friend on Price. I'm not hopeful on Choo and expect Beltram to sign with Kansas City. Signing Cruz seems like a consolation prize, and he might sign somewhere else on spite.

It appears JD is not wanting to spend any big money. That could still happen but not much left on the board. At least we need to go pick up a catcher. That should not be too hard at this point. Cruz may not be in demand as he thinks and might realize it soon. Oh well my guess is as good as anybody's at this point and I don't have any idea.

Thank you guys, love talking some ranger baseball.
One question I been wanting to ask, you guys still think Jose Bautista is on the JD's radar?

No worries man, I'm a huge rangers nothing too worry about. I see you guys are actually realistic on your ideas and I like that.

I am sure he is but doubt Toronto would give him up. Haven't heard a rumor of his availability.

Not really sure how much stock to put into this story on SB Nation:

The Dodgers have "remained in contact" with a number teams concerning a possible Matt Kemp trade, with interest coming from the Red Sox, Mariners, and Rangers according to Jon Morosi of Fox Sports.

I still think kemp is very possible, and if he gets hurt he now has someone to step in, Choice

I once was reading the comments section on Espn before they went to Facebook, and I saw somebody mentioning sports SportsHoopla. And I've been reading you guys forums for a while, and I like how well you folks know baseball, but by all means I'm not a troll. I just never tried to make my self a profile to join in the conversation. I made my profile back in August it was kind of complicated making a profile lol but I finally decided to activate it and stuff. I'm still getting the hand of this, so please bare with me.

Go Rangers!

I'm still trying to get a grip on the fact that my favorite Ranger (along with Beltre) is now a member of the stinkin A's...sigh...

The Fister deal continues to bother me. Hell, we could have expanded the Fielder deal by adding Fister - and we could have provided better quality prospects/reliever than the Nats gave up! Fister would have been a great addition to our staff, a ground ball pitcher to boot....

Well, I bought tickets for my sons and I to sit just to the right of Pesky Pole for May 16 against the Tigers. So we may see a couple ex Rangers playing for the Red Sox. My sons have never been to Fenway and are pretty excited about it. I went to a few games when my dad was stationed in Cape Cod from 67-69 with one being the Yankees-Red Sox on 5/18/68 and Tom Tresh made 3 errors at SS and I think they were all in the same inning. "Hawk" Harrelson was playing then and of course Yaz.

Its good to have a choice. Sorry, couldn't help myself.

LOL DT and Darryl. I know how you feel. It is tough watching all this stuff going down and it is not your team involved. Being patient is tough to do.

I think we are just fortunate for Detroit to pay the 30 million of his contract.

Well price oils still happen right?
