Are you saying that Choo is a better defensive LFer than Choice?

I'm saying they're not going to dh choo.

Hanson's chance to be one of the starting 5 has greatly improved.

With Colby looking bad also, I think Saunders and Hanson's chances just went up drastically. I can't believe I'm having to say that Joe Saunders and Tommy Hanson might round out our rotation.

Hurry back Matt!!! Please

Soto looking good today.

Not gonna stress about Colby today. I'm sure he's still figuring out his mechanics.

Wilson might be our Jeff baker this year . I like his bat .

 

[Rudy_Rangerfan]

Holy shit , mitch got a hit

He's been out a long time. Extra work should not surprise anybody. Just to good of a pitcher not o figure it out.

Me too, but Rios has to be in there too. You could DH Rios. If Martin struggles he has someone on his ass.

Why isn't it most obvious that that Choo is the one who ought to give up his spot in LF and DH?

Choo is the low performing defensive OF out there. Why would Choice be a better OF choice than Rios? ... or Martin? If you play Choice in LF ... then Choo DH's.

Every day.

I agree. It may be a month into the season and I am okay with that.

I doubt he makes the team.

Because Texas didn't sign choo to a 130 million dollar deal to dh. I understand what you're saying, but that's simply not going to happen.

130 million dollars, that's why. Choo didn't sign that contract to DH.


Same time Romeo. I was typing. You beat me to it.

Thinking the same thing. Martin may find himself playing less if he starts to fade.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I think Gentry could have a hard time finding playing time.

Exactly. I bet Martin was thinking when we traded Gentry, finally, the job is mine and nobody is right on my ass trying to take my spot.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Wow! We gave up 0 runs that inning.

 

[romeo212000]

Brinson with a first pitch lead off double.

The idea of getting Choice in against any LH at OF or DH makes perfect sense. Plus he can bat against RH from time to time.

Sounds good to me. If he continues to perform he needs to be in the lineup no less than 4 days a week.

Wow ! The kids are getting it done !
