2014 Offseason

[donaldson79]

If Darvish is done, then we're fucked. If he truly needs TJ, don't fuck around with it though. Do it now.

Here here to that!

Again, his contract isn't in the stratosphere of where Prince's is and what long term potential it has on the organization, both short and long term.

Darvish is locked in through 2017.

Since you have the medical knowledge, is a strain the same as a tear or what?

Tepesch! Time for you to prove it, boy! And I sure hope Jackson turns it around and quickly.

#Rangers #YuDarvish most likely done for year w/ arm injury. READ: http://SportsHoopla.com/1BSXkbL

Wow. I really didn't think we would go to the postseason this year anyway so I guess if he has to miss one of the next 3 seasons this would be the best one to miss. I think this season is all about seeing what we have anyway. This allows one more young pitcher to show what he has before we are ready to make a WS push. I don't know if Chi Chi makes the team out of ST, but I strongly suspect he will be here by June.

The idea of this making him easier to extend makes sense as well.

Long term there is a silver lining or two here, but short term it makes a grown man want to cry.

I will not ever, ever, ever be persuaded again that an injury isn't worth worrying about. I always suspected as much anyway. I am still not sure Holland doesn't have a lot more wrong than they are saying or possibly even know of. Maybe Elvis as well.

What a shitty fucking way to start the weekend.

Cliff Lee back to Texas?

Levine still spinning it.

Has too now. You know ticket sales just dramatically went down.

The term is actually being used incorrectly here. Ligaments get sprained, tendons and muscles get strained. So it is actually a sprained UCL, which means it is at the very minimum over stretched, and most likely has at least microscopic tearing.

I still don't see it.

Bennie please. Enough bad news for today. Let tomorrow do it's thing.

Yu Darvish of Texas Rangers has sprained elbow ligament, mulling Tommy John surgery - ESPN Dallas

just

I don't think you 'mull' TJ surgery.

Evan Grant @Evan_P_Grant · 2m2 minutes ago
Bottom line: Darvish almost certainly will have season-ending surgery. All other options are unrealistic.

Evan Grant @Evan_P_Grant · 2m2 minutes ago
Meant external options.

 

[DT LUNA]

I still don't see it.

Me either. Just more expense and still not finishing well.

 

[darrylgann]

All those years pitching in Japan and he comes over here? It's like a given now. (just ranting)

Rangers Yu Darvish might have surgery, could miss season | Dallas Morning News

There are veterans available. Chris Young, who had a strong bounce back season for Seattle last year, is a free agent. The New York Mets have been willing to listen to offers for Dillon Gee, a former UT-Arlington star.

The Rangers will first look at Nick Tepesch, who was hit hard in his spring debut on Friday, Nick Martinez, Lisalverto Bonilla and former first-round pick Alex “Chi-Chi” Gonzalez.

 

[romeo212000]

This pretty much sums up my feelings.

According to my shaky research, Tex "planned" Rotation starts by year: 2011-157 (97%), '12-125 (77%), '13-120 (74%), '14-72 (44%).

You guys might be using the #NolanCurse wrong. His approach to pitch counts and work loads seem a bit suspicious to this mediot.

 

[romeo212000]

My guess is they understated his injury in a quick attempt to test the waters for a trade and didn't get any interest.

Chris Young gone. Just signed with the Royals.
