Mendez pitched yesterday or the day before. I liked him then, and like him now.

I've always liked him, think he missed most of last year with a fractured elbow or something like that

 

[Broseidon]

Fine, but we're not the least bit concerned with what choice wants.

Wasn't saying we were. Windings post was from the players perspective

 

[jta4437]

Nick Williams is another player I'm interested in going forward

If I've seen him before I don't remember, but my memory isn't that great. We've had him for awhile if we got him in the Salty deal. He has good control for a AA pitcher.

Kid's a boss.

I'd DH choice, rotate him in the outfield , I don't like Mitch DH ing

If you don't like him DHing, then he has no business whatsoever being on this team.

Anyone heard how the Rangers found Strike out gallo ? ...he played baseball with Greg Maddox son at a catholic hs in Nevada .

In all fairness he should be the 1B, b/c if the argument is that Choice should be in LF and Choo at DH, that goes triple for Fielder

Fielder makes Choo look like a Gold Glover

He's got big time talent. He's just very very raw.

I'm ok with That, I think the moreland experiment has ran its course .

 

[romeo212000]

You probably were also one of those people saying we should trade Perez because he's been with the club so long and he just wasn't going to figure out out. :rollseyes:

This is Moreland's last chance to prove himself

Such long arguments about trading him back in the day, so glad we didn't give up Perez for Lee

 

[DT LUNA]

Seems that was what they said about Davis. They want to avoid that same mistake but he has to make it now or never.

 

[Windingmywatch]

Same reason why Fielder is playing 1B instead of Moreland and not DHing

Not the same ... Choice is better defensively like Mitch ... but Mitch isn't hitting well enough to play the field.

This is no different than it was last year with Murphy. Mitch ought to not be on the roster.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

And Davis would have never made it here.

Nope, Perez is still a kid . I always like him from the day I saw him pitch at 17 years old in hickory . Moreland is 29 .

 

[Rudy_Rangerfan]

And Davis would have never made it here.

I am thrilled Davis figured it out . He's a great kid , I root for him every year .

 

[DT LUNA]

Yeah I know but they want to make sure of Mitch. This is likely his last year. Plus we had no one to back up Fielder earlier.

I understand.
