Series Thread: Happy Fourth!! Rangers at Boston 7/4-7/6

[Kelleyman]

Nick may find himself DFAed if they have a 40 man crunch later this year.

Well we will need to add Colby back. Scheppers? Who else

 

[Kelleyman]

I was surprised they sent him.

With heart of lineup too and not as proficient as Roogie with the slide

 

[DT LUNA]

Nick can really mess up a happy 4th of July

 

[Bmurph]

Jake Thompson is 6-5 with a 2.76 era in AAA.

yeah but we got Jake from Detroit, I was more speaking of pitchers we drafted and developed

 

[Duane1952]

Banny what is Nick still doing in there.

 

[Bmurph]

Jeff you're trying to lose today aren't you

 

[saddles]

Alec Asher had put up some good numbers after the trade if I recall correctly, but he is out half of the season now due to PED use.

The Rangers “took a hard look” at Twins righty Ervin Santana during his most recent outing, according to LaVelle E. Neal III of the Star-Tribune (via Twitter). Texas is in need of rotation depth, as its current depth chart shows, and that may well remain an area of interest even if the club is able to add a higher-end starter. While the veteran Santana doesn’t come with a ton of upside at 33 years of age, he has long been a solid pitcher and would deliver some much-needed dependability. He has averaged over 180 innings annually dating back to his rookie campaign in 2005, and is still working with the same velocity and generating about the same swinging strike rate that he has for much of his career. Santana is owed $13.5MM this year and the two to follow, though, so there’d be some financial negotiating to work through.

Thanks for letting Nick start this inning btw Jeff

I actually really liked this guy. But we'll see.

 

[Bmurph]

Man when did we decide to play such shitty defense all of the sudden

 

[Duane1952]

I actually really liked this guy. But we'll see.

Me too. I sure hated to see him go.

 

[Kelleyman]

Wnd I was wondering if we would PH Robbie

 

[Bmurph]

and Porcello goes 6, somehow I'm not surprised

 

[donaldson79]

They may send Nick back down for some temporary pen help if they don't need him for one more start

I think we burned Nick up, and down until after the AS break today.

 

[donaldson79]

I was surprised they sent him.

In this particular case there is no "they." It's only Spike.

 

[DT LUNA]

Maz not fielding clean

 

[donaldson79]

Piss on Fenway Park!

 

[Bmurph]

Mazara having a rough day out there in LF

 

[Nightcrawler]

Is it the ASB yet? Can't think of a team who needs it more then these guys.
