If you could add Darvish back to that mix, they'd need a double dose of ImodiumVery possible: Perez Hamels Lewis Holland is starting to give teams indigestion.

I've got my ideas on what we should do going forward. Batted ideas around with some fans yesterday in the stands. And I'd like to hear from some of you guys on how much/how long for Colby?
First off, Colby has proved that his health is really not an issue. 29 starts last year and 24 so far this year. His WHIP has improved drastically this year from last year. Hits, Walks, and HR's per 9 innings are also down from last year. Strikeouts per 9 are down, but slightly. Colby is an innings eater, a solid back-end workhorse. He'll have his bad games, and the occasional great one, but mostly he's firmly planted in the middle of the gamut. Nothing fancy.
If I'm JD, I start at 1 year, $6 million (which is a 50% raise from this year) with an option for a second year that kicks in automatically if he reaches certain numbers (30 starts or 200 IP or something). I wouldn't have a problem going up to 7.5 for that first year.
What I was thinking - we're pretty close really - next year @ $8 mil, 2nd year at $6, all guaranteed. Something in this range, and you/me are pretty much splitting-hairs (if you've got as few as me then splitting up a bunch of zeros at this point in time).
I might switch those figures - $6m for 2016 and $8m for $2017, so that there's a raise each year - but otherwise, that's a good deal for both sides.
Our work is done. Let's call it a day and belly-up to the bar. First round is on me.
Round and round and round he goes. Where it stops nobody knows. He's just like wiping your ass on a wagon wheel......Just keeps on coming around. I got tired of Josh and his crap along time ago and don't care how cheap he is. This will continue till he is no more.Rangers OF Josh Hamilton (knee) could require a stint on the DL
Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton seems more and more destined to land on the disabled list, as his sore knee continues to bother him. Hamilton hasn't played since Saturday due to the injury.
"We're close to making a decision," manager Jeff Banister said,per MLB.com. "We're not ready to say he is a DL candidate. We don't do that until it's necessary. We don't have to make a decision today."
Hamilton did have a cortisone shot last week, but admitted he was still feeling pain following the injection.
"It's a day-to-day thing seeing how it feels and trying new things," Hamilton said before Wednesday's finale vs. the Mariners. "We'll get together today and figure out what is the best thing to do.
"If I could play through it, I would be out there right now," Hamilton said. "If I went out there right now, we would be back where we were four days ago: swollen or worse."
Hamilton has already been on the DL twice this season, including a trip to start the season.
You have to think they will put Josh on the DL soon, retro to his last game played. No big surprise, the guy is his own walking triage center.
Won 5 of last 6...the one they lost?....I had 200.00 clams on...go figure.

That was against Iwakuma (who won against the Rangers previously in Seattle, then went on to throw a no-hitter)... why would you bet 200 on THAT match-up?! (especially with Chi-Chi starting)
If there was 1 of 3 games to lay off of that was the one. Iwakuma was on a roll.Easy to play Monday morning qb ain't it?.....I got caught up in the hype of the 4 game streak. .....![]()
Part of the problem is he was never really ready to begin with. But he has had some really big hits for us this year. For me at 2 mill a year I do not want to completely give up on the guy.Round and round and round he goes. Where it stops nobody knows.

Me, my buddy, and a few strangers-in-the-stands seemed to have run the gambit on it yesterday. ha ha ha
However, you and I are pretty close. I think my mind set is this, without nailing anything to the wall, unless someone else out there does something insane (3 years at $22-24 mil), you're going nowhere. You want to be here, we want ya here, and we also know you have more than delivered for us.
Would 2 years at $15 mil too much for you to swallow?
