the problem with that is those prospects would have to be pretty high caliber, because our veterans aren't.
That's fine in the right situation. The other teams would also have to need what we have as well and I did not look into that at all. They would really need to have a fairly strong need where we match up with them. That may not even be a possibility.

Harrison would require a lot higher price than Bradley.

There are other pitchers in the MLB top 100 prospects below those two guys as well. A guy around 75-90 would work as well.

The problem with that is that this Front Office traded Kyle Gibson, Ian Kennedy, and Hans Crouse for Spencer Howard, so I really can't trust them when it comes to trading.

Edit: although the Gallo trade also happened so maybe they always need to do two trades so everything evens out.

Ken Waldichuk at #89 is another possibility. He is in the Yankees system. Of course, we may have to agree to take Gallo back, lol.

Can’t see us rostering all our rule 5 eligible guys. Maybe we shop a few of them and add new prospects that route.

Yep, my scenario called for giving up more than one prospect and only getting one back.

That probably takes me out of the Hearn/replacement slot when I go to the game. Maybe Gray instead.

Cheap low rent teams that can't afford a closed indoor stadium. I bet you can't buy @Saddle dogs or @Nightcrawler fries there either. What is this world coming to. Oh well @Ephland will get over missing El Bombi doing something spectacular and I will spend time tonight working on 2023 concession specials. But most of all is missing Raymond screeming GOOOONNNNNEEEE.
Have a good night everyone.

Maddon has to be in the hot seat with the Halos. Can’t be totally bullet proof with all that talent

The Rangers ACL team has part of their roster live on its website. So far only 2 OF listed. I am looking forward to following Yeison Morrobel.

The two biggest international signing are in the DSL and they are on separate teams as the Rangers field two teams in the DSL. Anthony Gutierrez and Jose De Jesus.
CF Anthony Gutierrez, went 3 for 5 in his first game.

Nope, it doesn't change at all.

Thinking I might go ahead and jump in the MLB draft board discussion seeing they it is next month and college playoffs are going on right now. High school had to be finished but sure there are some post tournament play outside the HD realm. Looks like a hitter draft and D Jones is consensus number one pick unless Balt wants to go under slot again. Guess there is no way he slides to us.

Nice to get a pedigree like Holiday. But going to look the guys over. And ha maybe we get the
Melendez kid aka something titanic at 2

Hope to see some video too

I know Termarr Johnson is going to play in a summer wood bat league. I hope he impresses the Rangers.

Melendez is the Hispanic Titanic. Lol. We may have to trade for a competitive balance pick to get him.

So I thought it interesting that Jon Daniels said that basically Willie had run out of chances

I am thinking the same applies for Leody, Reks, Steele and even White. One of these guys at a minimum will be the 4th OF No guarantee any of them start. And we have others competing for a potential LF spot.

So it looks like the Rangers are now legitimately taking a look see at some of them at the MLB level

One thought is Smith at first glance is a bit more advances as I have not seen him fooled at the off speed stuff

I think he has excellent bat control, a high baseball IQ, and he is a hard worker. I expect really good things from him. He will never hit HRs like Duran, Foscue, Harris or Crim, but he will accomplish great things I think.
