So guys like Reks, White Leody or Bubba do not look like OF starter material. Keep one as a 4th OF. Maybe another as AAA depth. Don’t need the other 2 on the roster. Maybe not 3 depending if we convert guys like Josh Smith who can be real good if we are lucky but probably not great.
Like to be optimistic but this may be the reality

This is why guys like a Seager and Semien must produce. Paid for a superstar so be it
This is why we better stick to pure rebuild and get contention out of our thinking.

Douche bag looking Nate Lowe haha
I am a fan of Lowe by the way
Well a goofy look was my definite intent. But I have zero room to talk

Little bit about Jackson Holliday.
Keep seeing him as our potential pick.

“With 89 hits in his senior season at Stillwater High School, Holliday set a new national record, eclipsing the mark set by current Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto back in 2010. He also hit .685, launched 17 home runs, drove in 79 runs and stole 30 bases en route to being named the Gatorade Player of the Year for Oklahoma.”

Impressive. Some have him going 1 or 2 in the draft.

Used to bat boy and shag flies for Bacsik. Saw his stuff in high school along with Steve Macko. Great combo

agree but most of us have never thought about contending just playing good baseball
Of course but bringing guys up before they are ready is what I was refering to. Bringing AA guys as some suggested is a bad idea. We are not going anywhere so leave guys where they are till they are ready.

The Texas Rangers activated Mitch Garver from the COVID list, activated Josh Smith from the 10 day injury list, and purchased the contract of catcher Meibrys Viloria from AAA Round Rock. To make room on the 40 man roster for Viloria, the Rangers moved Eli White from the 10 day injured list to the 60 day injured list. To make room on the active roster, the Rangers optioned Sam Huff and Zach Reks to AAA Round Rock. There was already an open active roster spot due to Jesus Tinoco being returned to Round Rock on Sunday
