Rangers head to CLE for what is sure to be a thrilling 3 game set: 8/24-26

You definitely cannot count on superstars. That is what the free agent market can provide, hopefully.

True but Tatis and Guerrero were obvious sure things to me. Some do emerge unbeknownst

I meant in our system right now. No one projects to that level.

You are joking right, if not apologies
Everyone loved our farm but we are hoping for too 19 MLB talent

i was but over the season we have had at least 3-5 daily reports on one prospect after another so it seems we have too many to have room for them all. hell we have so many we can't even agree on the 30 best

In 2 or 3 years we will need to use some of them as trade chips.

sooner than that

Impressive hit last night to take it to extras almost winning it
Composure at the MLB level should not be taken for granted

Not sure I buy into this article

Not sure I buy into this article

If you are talking about the second article, what is not to buy into? It was pretty much a state of where things are wasn't it?

What I didn't care for was Young's statement, "we're going to add a lot of pieces." That sounds like adding 6 or 7 guys making $5-10 million AAV.

The first article is an older one from earlier in August. Is that the one you don't buy into?

If we land at 3 that would be a plus pick and would feel we didn’t do a Bogar

im ok with anything in the top 4. If we fall to #5 or worse, something went seriously seriously wrong.

This year has brought its share of developmental disappointments like injuries to Carter, Huff, Jung, Wendzel, Foscue, Cody, Seise and Cole White, but there has sure been some very pleasant surprises. First, some of the injured have returned and fared very well. Then there are guys like Crim, Harris, Pozo, Bradford, and Kent who have "unexpectedly" had excellent seasons. There are also guys like Winn, Weems and Alexy who have continued to get better.

One guy who could do a lot to give me an even better feeling about our system is Sam Huff. He really needs to finish strong.

how can you forget Adolis Garcia? Looks like he will be a mainstay on the roster for the next 3-4 years.

He is anything but a sure thing right now. He has struggled for a long time.

And, I was mainly talking about guys who are still in the minors.

I don't know that we will need to trade for anyone before 2 or 3 years from now. It would be a little early for a rental piece before then

typical rookie takes time to adjust to the other teams' adjustments

No the second article. I don't think they are going to add much but some SP and maybe I if price is right a SS

I am like you, but when he says "lots of pieces," that is kind of hard to ignore.

God I hope not a SS if the price is right. Hopefully it’s not our usual off-season acquisitions

So we shall see what happens. I don' mind a Culbertson type. But to me if we can identify a young player in system that does not profile as a starter that is preferred. Hernandez fits that bill for now and maybe if he does not take off Davis W.

If it is Seager then I would like that. He is clutch and young
