That would be something....DH AJ and use Soto more

Sadly, as a BIG Soto fan...I really doubt he could be consistent
but hey, who knows

As long as he's hitting, see what he'll do. Let him and AJ alter dh and catching duties.

I'd sure like to see it, AJ turned out to be a pretty decent grab, but Soto is clearly better behind the plate...(at least blocking)

I guess that's my eyeball test, never looked up the numbers

I haven't checked in a while but I thought the difference between his home and road numbers were pretty significant.

career wise yes, but this year he's actually been hitting better on the road, not by much but a huge improvement on his career numbers

But he's no worse than a lot of players home/away splits, and I think his career splits are better than Kinsler's

That's not a minuscule thing. That's a very big thing. Along with some others, like not seeing hitting AJ fifth is killing us. It's just not acceptable to me.

Bullshit, Romeo. The guy has tried every batting order under the sun and you still bitch. The fact of the matter is the players aren't producing not the manger. I could give a rat’s ass if he's fired tomorrow because it won't make anybody on the roster a better player and it won't make them catch the A's. Hell, you bitched about the way they played and the way Wash managed when they were going to World Series. You even blamed the WS series loss to Giants on the manager when they were getting beat by superior pitching.
At least Wash hangs with his players which is a hell of a lot more than you do when they get down a couple of runs. You tuck your tail and run.

SDP got Wieland and Erlin from TEX for Mike Adams back when TEX had no money. Doubt that Quentin would be worth the same sort of exchange.

Both will figure prominently in our pitching plans next season, thank you very much. :D

Come on Romeo I said something pretty positive about the Rangers. Don't I get a high-5 or something?

I don't know that it matters anymore, but JD went GAGA for Wash when they interviewed him...

you can google it. Really not trying to stir the pot, just thought it was interesting
anyway, I'll state the obvious....could we PLEASE get to CJ early for F's sake
