And to sit back and think that everything is fine is just as asinine. The answer is somewhere in the middle, but if you're telling me you'd put money down that the Rangers are going to win the West at this moment then you're fooling yourself IMO.

I'd love to have Cahill...LOVE to have him.

Ditto. Oakland has alot of good, young arms.


and just b/c Texas lit up a staff...doesnt mean the staff isnt good. LOL @ that theory.

I didn't say they weren't good. Question is are they better than who we currently have? Besides gio and maybe Cahill, no.

napoli's response to some angel fan asking if he wanted to come back.........texas is the place for me looking forward to defending the west

Wonder what it would take to make that happen.

So I should get worked up over something I have 0% control over? Dude, I trust the FO. If you consider me saying "chill the heck out and let the FO work" as just sitting back...then I guess I am.

I refuse to write off the season, the west, or think we have the 2nd best team because of two guys. One plays every 5th day, and the other bats 4 times a game.

And I would put $100 on the Rangers winning the west at this very moment without batting an eye. ZERO DOUBT in my mind. Rangers had a butt load of offensive injuries and the worst BP for half the season while LAA got the best they could out of their pitching. Granted Wells sucked, but everyone else did what they were expected to do. LAA still couldn't overtake the Rangers, and that is with us unexpectedly SUCKING in intraleague play while LAA killed it.

Murphy's no slouch either.

+1

I'd imagine you would start with our AAA and AA arms... all of them...and go from there

I wouldn't put money on it, but it's certainly no foregone conclusion that the angels will. It's going to be a dog fight. I really doubt the FO sits on their hands till ST.

You really think he's that good?

 

[scotsman1948]

Jesus. How many times do you wanna have the same conversation. I've already responded to this jaar1.

screw you. i'm nothing like jaar, jaar is a troll. excuse me but i'm concerned about my team and they've been my team since the day they moved here from DC.

Doesnt have the nickname "the babyface killer" for nothing....

careful, someone on here will insult you by calling you jaar2 or jaar3. you're not allowed to be concerned or have any doubts.

You're acting like a scared child. It's one thing to show concern. It's another to run around declaring LA the al west winners and Texas falling back into baseball obscurity before one pitch is even thrown. Let alone before st is here and all big FA's are signed.

 

[fordman84]

Yeah, and we are a division rival.

3 seasons: 178/196/207 IP
10-13, 18-8, 12-14. Double digit wins on a team with no offense
K/BB: 90/10, 118/18, 147/12
WHIP: 1.44, 1.11, 1.43
Groundball to flyball ratio: .95, 1.35, 1.34...he is a groundball thrower like we need



The price would just be high because he is 23, 3 years of SP experience, a division rival, and has basically a 4/$30 contract remaining.

So much for spitballing lol.

Already happened. I don't care. I'm a realist, and things aren't looking good for repeating. A lot can change, but it doesn't look good.

and i trust the FO too but right now, this moment, i'm concerned because our #1 rival just got a lot better, you can deny that if you want, and the FO seems to not be reacting at all and now Evan Grant is reporting that the Rangers probably won't bid on Darvish because it's too much money

You're not being a realist. You're being a pessimist. You act like they aren't doing anything, but you don't have a damn clue. This same shit was going on with lee last year and BAM... They get Napoli and Beltre. They always play things close to the vest and no one ever knows what they're doing. Just let em work. They've done a great job so far.
