2014 Offseason

[Bmurph]

Lattest. Confused myself, Murph. Wasn't much of a bid. Wonder how serious the Rangers were.

@Evan_P_Grant: Nobody has won anything until Korean team decided whether or not to accept RT @ronniebrooks83: @Evan_P_Grant did Rangers win a bid on him?

The Padres recently won the bidding for another KBO pitcher, Kwang-hyun Kim, for $2MM, although the top bid for Yang was expected to cost more.

Rangers seemed to win this one by default as it appears other teams didn't post what he was supposed to fetch either. If he was really supposed to cost more than Kim that is

 

[Hambombs]

Darvish, Holland, Yang, Lewis, and Tepesch. I can live with that.

Do we really believe he's a #3? Lol

 

[Hambombs]

Hanley AND Sandoval to boston

 

[Hambombs]

Should be other untouchables than just those two.

Nobody is ever intouchable IMO

 

[Hambombs]

@calvinwatkins: Little baseball stuff: Rangers talking to Atlanta about acquiring a pitcher and possibly Justin Upton.

Very little where Calvin's concerned.

Latos, upton get it done!

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Do we really believe he's a #3? Lol

I would wonder that myself. Heard he had a 4.25 ERA in the Korean League. I know it is suppose to be an offensive minded league but how do those hitters compare to MLB hitters.

i think the Rangers are talking to Atlanta about Upton and Alviton

Yeah. I wouldn't feel safe with him as there #3. #5 pitcher would be perfect. Someone like Latos would fit the bill.

You think so?

Why would we need avilan though?

What I read is that 4.25 is well above average (in a good way) for that league, which means average pitchers have even higher ERAs. Not sure what the reason is though (Small stadiums, poor defense, etc...)

LH reliever of which we have few to none with Cotts probably gone as of now

Right and from what I also read he received the equivalent of the Cy Young in the Korean league.

I heard Boston still intends to resign Lester too.

 

[scotsman1948]

You think so?

i read it some where but can't find the article so it isn't fact for now

 

[scotsman1948]

read on MLB trade rumors that the Rangers may non-tender Mitch Moreland

 

[scotsman1948]

who would be our left-handed relievers?

 

[donaldson79]

read on MLB trade rumors that the Rangers may non-tender Mitch Moreland

Wow. Now that's some surprising news if true.

What about Medlen? He has I think two more arb years, and coming off his 2nd TJ surgery. there has been talk of the Braves non-tendering him because of his cost and 2nd major surgery, so perhaps they would sweeten an upton deal with Kris.
