Series Thread: Rangers Host Oakland for Three Games September 8-10

[Duane1952]

think we bring in a good hitting of'er this off season: maybe Bellinger. opening day of should be Carter, Bellinger & Garcia with Langford coming up after the trade deadline. then Langford, Carter & Bellinger. should be but probably won't happen

Rather see them spend on pitching.

Rather see them spend on pitching.

Agree. If we would have had halfway decent pitching and not blown so many saves we wouldn't be griping near as much about our offense. We would be about 10 games up.

 

[Duane1952]

Cater playing RF and batting 9th today.

Agreed but that shouldn’t affect them adding an OF bat and maybe a DH

6, 7 and 8 don’t bring much to game

Smith and Taveras shouldn’t see the field
Hate to say it but would rather Duran at 3rd and Grossman in LF and Jankowski in CF

how much do they have to spend?

It looks like they would have to spend around $30 million before getting to the luxury tax. I'm not sure how much they would want to stay below for possible additions at next year's deadline.

I could see them re-signing Montgomery and bringing in like two relievers.

 

[saddles]

About what I expected from him. He is a quick healer. I mentioned a couple of days ago that he would probably be back with a week.

I would rather get more relievers and go with what we have in the rotation.

You think Montgomery will want to resign after the team gave up? I don't.

 

[saddles]

Scherzer
Eovaldi
Gray
Heaney (all $20 million of him)
Dunning
Bradford

That's six guys for a five-man rotation. That frees up all the free agent money to go to the bullpen. We certainly need it to to go there.

A great pen helps make that a great rotation.
