Rangers in NYC to scout Gallo: TEX @ NYY 5/6-8

[DT LUNA]

It was a bad trade, but there have been several that were worse.

Ranks somewhere between terrible and awful

Part of Scott Lucas' report.

Spencer Howard was a late scratch for reasons unknown to me. Maybe it's out there, but I've been out of pocket. Kohei Arihara took his place and couldn't escape the 1st inning.

Not to bag on Foscue's defense, but his future largely runs through his bat, so keep it up, Justin. And, like a good many Texas prospects, he's facing a position change if he's going to be a starter with the Rangers. Left field is just sitting there, waiting for someone to claim it.

CF Aaron Zavala: 3-3, 2 BB, SB (6), .250/.449/.333
2B Frainyer Chavez: 1-2, 3B, SB (2), .357/.460/.429
LF Trevor Hauver: 2-5, .183/.365/.250

Once again, not to suggest Aaron Zavala already needs to be in AA, but I'm more-or-less waiting until then to see what he can do. Or put another way, the swinging part of his bat needs to be at this level (some more power would be nice), but his zone control is "too good," especially with so many pitchers lacking control. His 23 walks lead high-A and are second in all of minor league ball. Trevor Hauver's line continues to be Zavala Lite.

come on Trevor i've got you on the 26-man next season

Lol. So do a lot of others. Remember the Jeff Burroughs trade? And the Dave Righetti trade? Dave Stewart? Soriano? Adrian Gonzalez? Danks? Oscar Gsmble?

I remember Jeff Burrough complaing about the jet sream was keeping the ball from getting out. Reggie Jackson replied," I don't have any problem." LOL

Almost makes me glad Darvish helped them lose the World Series that year in hindsight, but when you consider their opponent its so freaking difficult.

what’s frustrating to me is Darvish pitched like a solid #2 for them in the 2nd half of the season. We really should’ve gotten someone like Verdugo or Buehler for him.

The worst ones that come to mind for me are……. Ryan dempster While giving up Kyle Hendricks. Brad Wilkerson. Brandon McCarthy. Adam Eaton. Christian guzman for tanner roark.

this trade is defijitely in my bottom 3 tho. We got fleeced pretty hard.

Just be glad you are too young to know anything about some of the trades in the 70s and 80s.

Owen White struck out two in a clean first inning, but that was all he pitched because of a rain delay.

Cody Bradford had another poor outing. Let's hope Alexy look good.

Did doubleheader’s go back to 9 innings?

 

[DTC]

Man, that’s just horrible..

Who would have guessed Brock Burke would be leading the team in wins, 4th in IP and an ERA at 1.93…. At what point does he get moved to the Rotation?

I think Woody is too stubborn to move him. It was decided before he showed how much he had improved that he would pitch out of the pen and that is how it will continue. That seems ridiculous to me.

Duran is 4 for 4 tonight after his 2 doubles last night.
