Series Thread: Let's keep our hot streak rolling against the Angelless Angels

[jta4437]

No, I don't think they would DFA Hoying. Why did you think that?

Simply stating that to show why it doesn't make sense to bring up Cordell

 

[jta4437]

Out of available roster options right now, Rua is still hitting the worst against RHPs

 

[donaldson79]

Tepid was referencing that he could be the one to replace Choo/Stubbs. Since Stubbs isn't officially on the DL yet -- no move has been made.

My guess? (now that Hoying is up) --- Profar comes up to replace Stubbs (but play 2B while Odor is suspended)...and Cordell will be promoted to AAA.

That sounds like an excellent guess to me.

I still don't understand, but that's okay. lol

 

[donaldson79]

And the doctor may never find a knee. Sad, he wants to play in 2017 but I wouldn't have him as a DH.

He cost so little, can't imagine the team not letting the "Josh hand" play itself out.

If push-comes-to-shove next season on the 40 man and Hamilton shows little chance of being able to help, then it would be reasonable to expect the Rangers to make a move.

Gotta admit, there's something going on here which I missed as well.

Perhaps we're just thickheaded? ha ha ha

I thought you were talking about them bringing up Cordell, I misunderstood what you were saying, though it was pretty ambiguous about what the point you were trying to make in regards to Cordell

Moving on

Glad to see him get his shot. Have not really watched him but heard he has a hard time with the curve. Sounds like he progressed this year. Also head if not rostered he becomes a minor league FA. So this makes sense.

Will be interesting to see who is DFAd unless a someone goes to 60 day. No one in mind there.

Bennie- I know you have been following him closely. Hope he does us all well

I think they are willing to let it play out. I also think Josh will play out first if not already. Really don't see him in our future. Do wish him well but don't expect him to fit any longer

I've been hoping Hoying can get a shot for a couple years now

Probably was more in favor of him getting a shot over Stubbs actually, seem to be pretty similar players in all fairness

 

[Kelleyman]

Well yeah I heard Cordell was pulled but now they surely won't roster him. We have time with him

My impression was Hoying was a good FB hitter by numbers. Very versatile. Seemed to be always overlooked. But Stubbs is an elite defender. Stubbs is no guarantee going forward

I just thought they might have pulled Cordell to have him ready in case they DLed Stubbs. To replace Stubbs on the 25 man.

Wouldn't that be Profar?

I wondered back 2 years ago why they didn't bring him up when rosters expanded in Sept. That was always a mystery to me.

 

[saddles]

Maybe, but not necessarily. I recall they were going to go with one less reliever when that time came, but who knows really. They may need the Stubbs replacement a few days before Odor's replacement is needed. Just a guess at this point.

Does he provide elite defense though? He's -10 DRS over his career in the OF overall and -6 in CF

But why put Cordell on the 40 man roster? That really doesn't make sense if you already have a couple guys that can cover OF and 2B already on the roster

Who said/wrote, "Hoying can't find an opportunity while Colby Rasmus is making millions, and they're the same player?" Or something like that.

I am happy for the young man too and hope he shines.
