Series Thread: Rangers Royally receive Kansas City for four 7/28-7/31

[Bmurph]

Any idea how 5, 6, and 12 in their system would rank in ours? Of course we wouldn't have a top catching prospect to put in the deal.

MLB's Top 10 farm systems
Rank Date
1. Los Angeles Dodgers
2. Atlanta Braves
3. Texas Rangers
4. Colorado Rockies
5. Minnesota Twins
6. Boston Red Sox
7. Philadelphia Phillies
8. Pittsburgh Pirates
9. Milwaukee Brewers
10. Houston Astros

They aren't likely as highly regarded as our guys, but not sure how anyone could be sure how they would match up for sure

I will be disappointed if they stand pat. I honestly don't think they will. I'm not expecting a " Hamels" like trade, but get something done that helps the team.

 

[WilltheThrill]

That actually seems reasonable. But for me don't want to lose Maz or Profar.

Give them Joey Gallo as the "almost ready" and DDJ as the "ML ready" and call it a deal! Done!

I'm surprised to see the Dodgers at #1. I've always thought of them as a team who likes to build in Free agency and a team who likes to throw money around.

Do those rankings include Profar and Mazara? I think the Rangers got dropped from 3 to 9 based on their promotions.

Thats from March so its likely you're right

Braves also likely get bumped to #1 after raping Dave Stewart in the Shelby Miller/Dansby Swanson deal.

Was at a wedding and was tracking the score and after the dinner was served I booted up Fox Sports Go. I watched the bottom of the 8th through the Moreland homer. I was hoping for a walk off with the three guys that were going up. Mitch was the last bullet in the chamber...what a line shot.

I had little interest in Shelby when I heard the asking price and then I thought Stewart was a nut job after I saw what he gave up

the Rockies are not a good team.

Maybe not, but they are playing the best ball in the league since the AS break. There is that...........

My thoughts too when I saw those rankings. Without Maz, Profar and now Gallo to me they should drop quite a bit.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

The Orioles are not throwing good pitchers at us and are on a long losing streak, the Rangers have completely destroyed the Astros this year, and the Rockies are not a good team. I don't think we will sweep the road trip or anything, but it will be better than you think.

We have been beating up on one team lately so I am cautiously optimistic. How many times has someone put out on these posts that we should easily beat some team and that not be the case. And the Rockies are back up to. 500.

I was just trying to be optimistic and put this shitty month behind us.

Indians get Andrew Miller. Wow.

Indians get Andrew Miller. Wow.

Can anyone say all in? I'm just wondering when we will do something.

And it looks like it's just a matter of time before they land Lucroy too. Talk about loading up for 2016.
