Series Thread: Rangers Play in Boston July 4-6

If this thing doesn't turn around very quickly, and in a big way, I may change my mind about what our trade deadline approach should be.

If we lose 7 of the next 10, I might change my mind drastically.

i doubt we go to the sell mode no matter which way it goes

I doubt that as well. It would take something like losing 18 of 20 for that to happen.

even then maybe not. Still think they would be looking to add

The latest from Keith Law on Walker Jenkins, who he has at #5 on his board.

Scouting Report
Bats: L, Throws: R
Jenkins flew up boards this spring after a modest summer showing when he was hampered by a hamate injury. He looks the part of a top-of-the-draft hitter, 6-3, 205 pounds, lean and athletic and twitchy but with lots of room to add 20-25 pounds. He’s a plus runner, but I wouldn’t be shocked if he slid a little toward above-average as he filled out. He’s a left-handed hitter with a great swing that’s boosted by his outstanding bat control, allowing him to adjust mid-swing more than most teenagers can, and once he fills out he’ll probably have 30-homer power. He’s a center fielder now and a good one, although I could see him losing enough speed to move to right. He looks like he’ll hit like an All-Star right fielder, and maybe the UNC commit will end up staying in center, too.

Oh well who else would be interesting?

Still hearing rumors about Rangers and Stroman and/or Scherzer

Saw where Leclerc came in and gave up a HR. Just like when he pitches for the Rangers.

There goes one trade target.

I am glad that it happened now and not after we may have traded for him.

What is the deal with Grossman?

What is the deal with Grossman?

Don’t know unless it’s something to do with the Green Monster. Wouldn’t want to put Duran, Smith or even Jankowski out there having never played there

But I could be wrong

That could be, but I don't recall any other managers of ours being that concerned with it.
