rangers trade thoughts........

[Bmurph]

If that dude expects a 60 million dollar deal he better be ready to step in and be a #2.

Yeah he better have TORP stuff and have considerable experience

I heard Cuba is hard on Pitchers but not sure

He actually has hardly pitched the last few years because he was suspended for trying to leave the country. I heard the Dodgers may be in the lead for him because of Puig but that may just be pure speculation.

I won't be broken hearted if we don't sign him. At that price tag he's quite a risk.

Reports are the white sox have been quite disappointed with what they've been offered for rios. I'm curious to know what they've been offered and what they expect.

That's obviously a significant amount of money on what could be considered a prospect, I'd rather focus on getting the Garza deal done

Leonys Martin played with Puig, maybe he played with Gonzales. Maybe that will help, but $60 mill, no.

He pitched in Cuba's top league for 3 years.

Yeah, I think he played with Martin like you say and Cespedes and Aroldis Chapman.

Those stats don't jump out at me but at 26 he may be a much better pitcher now. Scouts will know best.

Matt Garza and Zack Greinke: a Trade Deadline Comparison - Beyond the Box Score

Great article here comparing the Garza eventual trade to the Greinke trade from a year ago. Saying Greinke is a better pitcher practically across the board and that the Cubs shouldn't get anything like what the Brewers got for Greinke. Zack's one of my favorite pitchers, so even though I was very bummed out we didn't get him, the fact that the angels gave up their future at short stop was a good trade off. Anyway's back to the point, does anyone have a comparable trade that the rangers could make that isn't as good as what the angels traded last year, but should be good enough for the cubs?

I believe some combination of Ramirez, pimental, Sardinas, Garcia has beenentioned.

@espn_durrett: #Rangers Colby Lewis line: 2.2 IP, 4H, 4ER, 1BB, 1K, 45 pitches (27 strikes).

Main thing to me is the 45 pitches. He still has to get his arm strength back. But if he feels good and is ready for another start that will be a great sign.

That's what I'm saying. I want to see him feeling good after his outings and his velocity up around 89-90. The rest will work itself out.

All the people swearing he'd be back in may/June, I tried to tell you but y'all didn't want to listen.

 

[Bmurph]

About to sit down and watch 42 for the first time, hope it is worth the hype

 

[romeo212000]

I haven't seem it, but I'm told there's a lot of not quite truths to make it a feel good story as opposed to the incredible struggle it was.

He hit 88 and gave up a 2 run homer on his 45th pitch. Lewis said he feels he will be pitching for the Rangers in a few weeks.

I hope so, but I'm not counting on it.

Because its a really good offensive league

 

[Hambombs]

I will feel good about the signing if Rangers feel he's at least a #2
