Series Thread: Pivotal Series in Houston for Rangers 7/12-7/14

[PhantomWarrior]

Still have not gotten clear rationale why Calhoun was sent down.

Someone decided Odor, Guzmán and Big Chill needed to stay.

 

[PhantomWarrior]

If I was the owners of the Rangers I would have sent a repo man to get those 2 ponies

Or....

 

[Bmurph]

$100 Guzman K's here?

So what do you guys think?

I’d say anyone except for gallo, Elvis, and Santana is tradeable.

Gallo for obvious reasons. He’s the only young player worth a shit.

Elvis has always had a “ranger for life” feel to me and he has a contract.

Santana because he’s such a rare find. He’s like a Ben zobrist , versatile, super sub who could play any position. I don’t think we’ve seen a player like him on the rangers before. He’s 28 with 2 years of cheap control.

I could care less if anyone else gets moved, but I’d prefer they keep Lynn because that would be one less hole in the rotation to fill.

Somebody pay up

 

[Kelleyman]

And add one more to this. With a AAA call up to boot

Pretty pathetic

I’m not kidding you guys. Some of you fought me on it..... but

I genuinely believe that our front office kept odor up at the big league level because he punched Bautista and they kept condor because the guy makes highlight reel plays doing the splits.

Both of those things don’t really matter in the grand scheme of things, but that’s where we are. I can damn sure tell you that we haven’t kept them up here because of their production on the field.

To many rungs in our ladder to fix in a short time.

The good news is Woodward is the new guy and we get to see what he can do with the misfit toys JD gives him.

I did not have time to react to this post. He was already out!

 

[saddles]

Now who would that be that we don't know or did not get opportunity to develop. NOw I think perhaps more development could have happened at the AAA level. If that is what you are referring to I can't argue with it but there is still more season to burn

Calhoun should have gotten 500 AB at this level this year.

Pretty sure owners may have a say in the budget allotted

I agree and hope that changes soon

Started a thread here:

Who currently on the 25 man roster will be a future piece?

 

[Duane1952]

JD, you better be selling.

 

[Duane1952]

Have the Rangers won a game, since sending Willie down.

Nope they have lost 6 in a row now

 

[Duane1952]

2 hits, 13 strikeouts. Pathetic.

Seems this team has struck out at a record pace the last 5-6 years

You can blame Banny and his “swing for the fences and if you strike out it’s ok” mentality.

I’d rather have a team full of hitters who are tough outs and tough to strike out then this garbage. You usually can’t win if you don’t put the ball in play.
