Series Thread: Rangers Host the White Sox For Three Games July 20-22

What do you guys think about this pitcher mentioned on MLB Trade Rumors:

Right-hander Peter Strzelecki has opted out of his minor league deal with the Brewers, reports Jon Heyman of The New York Post. He is now a free agent and eligible to sign with any club.

Strzelecki, 31, started this year with the Brewers on a minor league deal. He was selected to the big league roster in May but then was designated for assignment the next day without pitching in a game. After clearing waivers, he elected free agency and signed a minor league deal with the Yankees. He opted out of that deal last month and circled back to the Brewers.

Around all those transactions, Strzelecki has thrown 31 Triple-A innings with a 4.06 earned run average. His underlying numbers are far better, as his 28.5% strikeout rate, 4.6% walk rate and 42.7% ground ball rate are all better than average. In his major league career, he has logged 83 2/3 innings with a 3.44 ERA, 24% strikeout rate, 8.4% walk rate and 35.8% ground ball rate.

He’ll head to the open market to see what kinds of opportunities are out there. There’s a lot of roster shuffling happening at this time of year, with the trade deadline coming up on August 3. As teams wheel and deal, perhaps an opening will be available for Strzelecki. If he catches on somewhere, he is out of options but hasn’t yet qualified for arbitration, meaning he is theoretically cheaply controllable for many years if things go especially well.

Great info. Kind of reminds me of the Ben Peoples situatiion.
We really need to improve our bullpen without getting the cupboards too bare.

He would definitely be worth a shot.

As bad as we need pitching without repeating another Gore abortion, why not take a chance on the cheap.

David Davalillo starts tonight for Frisco. I sure hope he can get things turned around and recover from RULPD, or Ranger Upper Level Pitching Disorder.

I think it is more commonly known as Luke Jackson's Disease.

I like him better than Marco.

Thanks again to Saddles I'm back on my chrome book.
Are you guys watching on tv and how do you do that

I thought I saw Martin is on rehab assignment. If that’s true you know CY is planning on bringing him back.

It's the description of insanity. Keep doing the same thing and expect different results.

From what I read I would like for us to pick this guy up myself. I figured many of you would too which is why I posted it.

I don't know who mentioned casting from their phone to the TV to watch the Rangers games on TV. So my phone is a Samsung on downstairs is a LG so I mirrored it and I will watch that way tonight. The loft has a Samsung so I can cast using Smart things. Thanks to who mentioned that.

 

[DTLUNA]

Osuna with a all star catch

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Alexander's has a lively fastball tonight but his control is terrible and it cost him a run,

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Raymond said he loved how every team has 5 to 6 players who can bunt. What has he been watching?

 

[fanman8825]

Cauley with the long ball

 

[fanman8825]

Quantrill with just 9 pitches in the 3rd

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Burger looks terrible tonight.
