Marlins and Rangers go at it July 24-26

[DT LUNA]

May lose our bait trying to land big fish.

 

[darrylgann]

Going solo there, DT?

 

[darrylgann]

The great Stanton. Let's trade for him in game.

Thought everyone would be here just to see him.

 

[DT LUNA]

They'll drag in later

 

[True Rangers Fan]

To quote myself, I'm so done with Perez.

Hard to think about keeping him.

 

[DT LUNA]

Nomar needed to drop down.

 

[Duane1952]

Didn't take Stanton long to introduce himself to Perez.

Disagree with both of ya. Sorry.

Pitching is by far THE hardest thing to draft, coach, or have at all levels. Pitchers come and go over a 2/3 year span sometimes, but those 2/3 are MAGIC.

Perez is relatively cheap, young and has upside.

To me, you just can't have too many guys in the pipeline, at all levels, capable of doing same.

Good point but he seems to have but one level.

Close Roogie

Perhaps his "level" isn't as bad as you may think. He's only 26 and he's K'ed more than 150 than he's walked (frankly, I'd lost a beer bet on that one) in his career. His W to L ratio is right at 1-1 over 6 years.

How many times have we brought up, "somebodies gotta take the ball every 5 days"?

Let's not forget, a solid #4 is important and it's not like he should be held accountable b/c the team doesn't have a solid #3. He's doing the best he can, and it seems to me, at least to an extent, he's not getting the support sometimes he should.

I see him kinda like Derek Holland. Keep thinking he will bust out. But like I said, you make some good points. If we are rebuilding, pitching is first priority. If Yu goes, Cole, Martin.Cash, AJ and Ross looks a little dim to me.

Tired of winning!

You know that if we stand pat and push for the playoffs that we need to win and win big. Win so much that the guys will be tired of winning, but JD will tell them no and that they must keep winning.

 

[darrylgann]

Dang Choo! Could be inning killer.

Stanton is a pretty tough crowd on that "introduction part" regardless of pitcher or franchise though isn't he? haha
