2022 Texas Rangers Spring Training Thread

Man.. I was hoping Miller would play 3B vs RHP and Ibanez vs LHP
Ibanez had a .674 OPS vs RHP & .898 vs LHP

Kole Calhoun & Solak can platoon in LF

Let Adolis play RF

Find a CFer lol or just let Josh Smith come on up

It will be interesting to see if any of the lower level pitchers step up this year and enter the conversations we have about top pitching prospects within the organization. Englert, Acker, Bratt, Slaten, Weems, and Bradford will be some guys to watch. Of course, guys like Alexy, Otto, Ragans, Burke and Rodriguez could do the same in the upper levels, but that would be less likely.

 

[DT LUNA]

Just tuned in. Glad to see Ibanez triple.

2023 depth chart
C-Garver
1B-Lowe
2B-Semien
3B-Jung
SS-Seager
LF-Foscue
CF-J Smith
RF-D Harris
DH- Crim

And I’m missing a few very promising guys..

A trade or 2 almost seems inevitable..

Duran

Trade Lowe, Crim to 1B, Foscue or Harris to DH, with Duran playing the OF.

Even using Duran, we would be left with a lot of prospects to put together in some trade packages. We would have a lot of those pitchers I mentioned earlier along with position players like, Taveras, Thompson, Walker, Zavala, Morrobel, Saggese, Cauley, Acuna, and Acosta.

Spencer Howard pitched well in his first inning today. Of course, he usually does.

Solak with a HR.

Solak with a HR.

Rangers take the lead once again

 

[saddles]

Josh Smith thrown put trying to steal 2B after pinch running for Ibanez. They said he was safe and got a bad call.

Now he gets to play 3B.

Spencer Howard goes out for a second inning and he usually does fairly well in second innings.

Howard did great in his 2 innings today.

He's going to pitch his way into the rotation, just so you are prepared for that

Richards?

That is something I am starting to hope happens. Either he surprises all of us, or he pitches poorly again and is that much closer to becoming a bullpen pitcher. I think he will make a very successful late inning pitcher.

 

[saddles]

Richards?

He is most likely going to be a long reliever.

John King makes an appearance.
