Horrible SS contracts of past and present collide - NYY @ TEX 7/27-7/30

So basically, nothing has changed in the last fucking month. Nice work!

Wandy might be fine after taking some time to rest. He has already pitched way more innings than he did last year and he is right at the amount of innings this year that he pitched the past two years combined.

Fine, sure. Appealing to another team? Nope nope nope nope.

Mat Latos Trade Between Marlins, Dodgers Could Fall Through - MLB Trade Rumors

 

[saddles]

So basically, nothing has changed in the last fucking month. Nice work!

I think 90% of the rumors have come from the Phillies trying to say the Rangers were interested just to get more in return for him from another team. There might have been some wishful thinking on the part of the Phillies as well.

You act like we have a plan.

I'm not acting at all.....just asking a, to me anyway, valid question. ha ha

It's like JD is choosing to ignore the wealth of information provided on these very pages.

And we both know THAT AIN'T TRUE!

This is what is so great about the trade deadline... The Tigers announcing Price is available threw a wrench into EVERYTHING.

Because now, Latos-to-Dodgers looks to be off.

Texas Rangers 2015 record when they lead by five runs boggles the mind | | Dallas Morning News
The Rangers are 15-3 when leading by five or more runs at any point. The rest of the American League is 258-5 when leading by five or more runs at any point. No team has more than one loss in that situation.

Glad to see Ben Rowen getting a shot. He put up great minor league numbers while here.

And I was at one of those stupid loses.

Wandy did a good job for us overall as a starter. He started to fade in his last few starts. Being in the BP is a whole other story.

Ha! Glad you knew I was messing with you.

OUCH.

What I would do, even if they were mostly just salary dumps for some of these guys, and I'm not even assuming anyone wants some of these guys, just saying what I would do if given the right opportunity

DDJ - Keep
Roogie - Keep
Prince - Sell
AB - Sell
Big Mitch - Keep (Not a lot of 1B options in the system, need to keep one of him or Fielder, I'd prefer the cheaper option)
Hambone - Sell
Elvis - Sell
Choo - Sell
Chirinos - Keep
Martin - Keep (4th OFer)... or sell don't really care either way

Scheppers, Gallardo, Lewis - Sell

Since Hambone is costing jack shit, might as well plug him into RF in that scenario.
