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

[True Rangers Fan]

This is the tipping point for JD with me. Like I said, this is a potential career ender.

It's a trade that will take years to fully unfold in order to know who "won." Calling it a "tipping point" is nonsense.

Losing Jake sucks so much....we got him for nothing too.

My guess is Thompson was what got Harry's salary included.

What kind of numbers do you guys expect from Hamels in 2016 and 2017?

Not really. This trade could make or break this club till 2020 or so.

Ok. So.

Who gets moved the next 1.5 days? Gallardo? Lewis? Moreland?

Give me time to look at all the metrics and I'll put in my scientific wild ass guess.

Lewis is the least likely of the 3. I bet Gallardo goes. Could be very smart to move Mitch too. His value will never be higher.

Yes, I'm aware of that. I'm saying whatever the effect, it will not be immediate.

I know that. Imo JD's career hinges on this trade.

I think there is a decent chance that none of them get moved.

It's unique though, that this trade is not for "win now." It's for "win down the road." So JD has leeway here.

Welcome to Texas Cole!!!

Harold Reynolds just said Nick Williams is a switch hitter.

Umm.

Umm.

Never trust Harold Reynolds.

Hmm.
Knowing what the Mets were going to give up... hmm.

 

[romeo212000]

Wonder who's medical nixed the Gomez trade.

 

[romeo212000]

Hmm.

They'd have to dump Choo, and who would they give up. JD just cleaned a bunch of our top prospects out.

Wheeler is who I've heard.

 

[romeo212000]

Got a chance to at least split the series and go 6-4 in their last 10.

Wheeler is who I've heard.

Nice sig.
