Draft slot race comes down to The Wire as the Rangers head to Baltimore: 9/23-26

[Kelleyman]

True he should be cleared to play his natural position of C. Would like to see him with the Rangers next season but that’s not likely

Per Scott Lucas
Huff is hitting .297/.395/.622 in his last 21 games. He's still missing a lot in that span (38% SO rate) but is walking about three times as often as before and getting better results when he makes contact. Manager Chris Woodward admitted in yesterday's pre-game presser that Huff was unlikely to make the 2022 Opening Day roster (agree, strongly) but still had catching in his future.

Just coming to post this. The best part is his slash line in the last 21 games. I kept waiting for him to turn it around all year. Also, I don't care how many strikeouts he has if he can slash anything close to that.

Like I said I would dearly love see him, Jung on the field in 2022 probably not opening day but at least half the season

If he starts off next year hitting like he has the last 3 weeks, I bet he doesn't stay in AAA long next year. Maybe 6 weeks to 2 months.

I'll believe it, when I see it.

same here. I expect to see the same old level of FA as we saw this season unless something changes drastically

One positive thing, is that the media has not acted this positive about our possible leap into free agency in a long time.

I take This writer with a grain of salt. The new ones are perhaps more media “with it” but come across green and non baseball lifers. Plus just as in new business culture, you don’t ruffle feathers if dues are not yet paid

So I do not think we will get many but as TX Star Saddles stares. Let just get us one elite as more is on the way

I hope he does but another year catching in AAA would not hurt

I agree, but he has already had experience up here so I think that part of his game would be fine already. They thought enough of his catching last year to let him do it up here so I wouldn't think it would stunt his development or anything. He could learn up here. And Pudge would be handy.

I don't think a writer would be paying his dues by raising false expectations. That would seem contrary to not ruffling feathers. That might make some enemies in the front office.

Chris Young doesn't strike me as a guy who would come aboard a franchise who had no intention of building a championship caliber team

I think this off-seasons moves are going to blow everyone’s mind.

If they do anything it will blow my mind

 

[DT LUNA]

I think we will see limited action. We have to increase the offense

 

[Kelleyman]

A bit strong in his feeling about this

 

[Duane1952]

Same song and dance. They'll make some minor moves, like they usually do.

Another HR for Huff tonight.

 

[saddles]

We just need to have one of the games go right every day, or at least average one per day. Sounds easy enough, I guess.
