2022 Texas Rangers Spring Training Thread

[Kelleyman]

Suspect Snyder is up at some point. He is the guy with the high velocity methinks. Bodes well for his future here

 

[Kelleyman]

I expect to see that as the primary lineup this year, and I am 100% on board

At least for starters until the break. I like Willie but he needs to produce the first half. We have hitters who will be close to ready to begin their own journey

fair point - that's the lineup i hope to see starting out.

I think Garcia needs to produce as well. It will help him to have better hitters around him

The more I think about the more I like him in CF as there is less pressure to be an elite hitter at that position IMO

Rangers will be facing former Rangers great Nick Martinez today.

Watch in awe as Nick Martinez makes a no-look, behind-the-back catch on a comebacker

I wonder if having to be "the guy" after Gallo was traded affected his performance last year.

It will be interesting to see if Solak continues his hot hitting in the regular season, and if he does, will he given more than a platoon role.

All good thoughts here…

Getting that baseball feeling back after two weird seasons and a nasty lockout

Being a Ranger fan is on the rise and the bandwagon is getting prepared for more passengers.

You guys though are charter members

I wonder if some of the guys will come back who left when things started looking bleak a few years back.

I think even if I felt optimistic about Howard, I would still want him starting out in AAA. This just seems like the worst season to tax the pen early on.

There’s a lot of concern for players injuries this year of shortened ST. We may have many y up and down or to the IL

With Alexy going to Round Rock it seems Arihara may be about to be released or sent to the pen.

 

[DT LUNA]

The way Solak has been hitting I would like to keep him swinging and put him at DH. He can platoon when necessary.

I did hear someone mention that Solak had actually looked better in the outfield this spring.

I really believe he has more to offer this team than Willie.

Nomar Mazara and Jurickson Profar are in the Pads lineup today.

i think either Solak or McCarthy has more to offer than Wtllie

Oh Danny Boy
