Love the trade offers being posited on ESPN, apparently we should trade Michael Choice for Nick Franklin...

I hope Kinsler burns for eternity in gentile hell. FUCK....I do not want to watch that worthless Rosales at 2B at all.

JD on the phone to MY "So about that one day contract...wanna make that into 12 weeks?"

They should be real interesting the next few weeks with everyone posting some nonsense, especially if the Rangers start slow.

I’m no lip-reader, but #Rangers manager Ron Washington may have used a curse word in a sentence when learning of Jurickson Profar’s injury.

LOL me too Wash....

Rosales has no business on a ML roster, he is awful w the bat and apparently has been stinking it up on defense so far too the past few days.

Does Lillibrige get a call to rejoin the ML camp?

He must have naked picks of JD or something, cause I don't see what he even brings to the team.

For some reason at Fanfest Ron was raving about his abilities defensively and said he brought real good potential with the bat as well. I don't know who's skirt he was blowing that up maybe JD's but even someone who knows very little baseball could determine if a guy gets waived like he did last year and doesn't really offer anything even close to bench replacement level play, should get cut period.

It makes me feel dumb for them so sit there and say that stuff about him. He flat out has no business on any ML roster. He might be a great guy, but he stinks.

Depth on the bench was an issue to me when guys were healthy, but when you start losing starters and your go-to are Rosales you haven't done a good job filling out the roster

"I thought way too short term with the Garza deal last year. That one's got a chance to haunt us and haunt me," Rangers GM Jon Daniels told Zach Buchanan of the Arizona Republic in reference to his trade with the Cubs. Daniels gave up C.J. Edwards, Mike Olt, Justin Grimm and Neil Ramirez for Garza. Olt could soon make an impact in the big leagues, but it's Edwards and Ramirez who might turn out to be the keys to the deal -- Edwards was terrific down the stretch last year for Class A+ Daytona, and Ramirez has pitched well in spring training after posting a terrific strikeout rate in Double-A last season.

On top of all that he didn't pitch well for us. I would've been ok with it if he helped or re-signed.

Glad he sees that though. JD had a hardon for Garza for a while. It was like finally getting to bang the prom queen only to find out she just lays there during sex and makes you do all the work. BOOOORING.

Actually it's way worse. It would be like finally getting to bang the prom queen and then she breaks your dick in half. Garza sucked....

There really arent any valid options that we have right now at second. I mean, robbie and choice are basically the only two positive surprises i can take from this spring. Its been a pretty bad disaster. And to make things worse, there really are hardly any ways we can make up for losing profar. its a shame. I know im speaking too soon, but maybe 2015 is our year. That's fine with me, but good lord i dont remember a year like this....ever

I would add Scheppers to that list of positive surprises

Same here. Prince looked pretty good too, but for what he's being paid he really better right?

Need to trade the Yankees a rosin bag and first baseman's glove for Yangervis Solarte and roll the dice. I mean what the hell, right? Better than Lillibridge and Adam freaking Rosales options for sure

 

[terpsfball09]

Ya scheppers has been good. I dont know if I'd add prince because I sorta expect him to be the productive guy in the lineup this year.
