Series Thread: Rangers in a short home stand with the A's

[saddles]

I think Joey only has about a week left w/ the club... before he's sent to AAA like originally planned.
(IE...when Hamilton gets activated)

I think so too unless someone else gets hurt that he could fill in for. That actually could be a fairly sizable possibility. I am just glad he got the opportunity to get the experience that he has gotten. I think that will pay dividends in the future.

He got to your question Bennie. And mine on Moreland. One of them, I sent in three.

The 30-day rehab window for Rangers Matt Harrison ends July 2. At least one more rehab start planned.

I had asked 3 questions before he got started and he didn't get to any of them. He did answer the one I asked during the chat.

He will not be ready by then.

Get somebody tied to that salary for the next 3 1/2 years while trading away good prospects...

okay i can see that but i never want a division rival to improve even in the short term.

 

[scotsman1948]

Would prefer Choo was the one gone.

the Yankees have always wanted him maybe we could get them to take him but it would have to include us throwing in a lot of money

Can only be in AAA until his rehab stint is over, I think they can apply for extensions if he's not there, but eventually that time will run out

Thank you.....I was thinking the Rangers were in this position with him, but wasn't sure.

In order for him to be maintained in the minors, wouldn't we have to DFA him first?

Choice coming up and Claudio going down.

 

[donaldson79]

I didn't get to see a pitch from last night. Kind of glad I didn't.

But hey, Gonzalez is not going to be 1 ERA for any extended period. Ups and downs, especially with a youngster, is to be expected.

I heard an interview with him on my drive back from Galveston, and he sure is a mature kid. Really to learn, doesn't seem to want to let a game get in the way of his learning curve.

Rua in the 2 hole. I like it! I said last year that he would be a good fit in the 2 hole. Now if he would just start hitting.

 

[DT LUNA]

What will Choice do for us? The OF is already crowded.

He's hitting the ball hard, just not falling in.

They're trying to murder Kela.

No kidding.

I was disappointed in that we had just taken a 5-2 lead and he walks the leadoff hitter and I mean he was not even close and then after getting an out hit Butler who we have had good luck with and then 2 doubles sandwiched around a strike out.

Hamels price may have just gone down after his bad start against the Yankees today. Just sayin. Sale didn't do so hot today either.

I think they can simply put him back on the DL. I don't see what would stop them from doing so. They can always claim he isn't fully healed I would think.

He and Nick both seem to be willing to learn. Gallo gives me that impression also.
