rangers trade thoughts........

[romeo212000]

We could've asked for price or lee. We could've asked for a bumgarner, or someone from the blue jays or the yankees. Garza is fine dont get me wrong, I just think the cubs used the down market to their advantage. I feel like this is a deal that is like what the angels gave up for greinke last year, and greinke is much better across the board

Doesn't mean JD didn't ask, and just because you ask doesn't mean you'll get.

Maybe HR/RBI wise.......but I dont consider a .259/.288 slash to be that great of a season.

Still helps the team though. Can also run

 

[terpsfball09]

I sorta feel like we're gonna find out what the trade actually is and we're all gonna be relieved. JD is one of the best in the biz

 

[romeo212000]

It's not stupid, he's not a significant upgrade. You talk big on here huh?

David Murphy: .219 avg/.651 OPS/10 hr/30 RBI

Schierholtz: .268/.825/11 hr/34 RBI

Looks like an upgrade to me. You can talk big when you've got numbers to back up your statements. You should try it some time.

Yeah but he is no Brian Sabean! (Giants GM)

You're right. JD has never turned a blind eye to blatant steroid use.

Those are not career numbers, its called the average of large numbers in statistics, look it up smart guy. Murphy has been productive in his career, and we know what kind of player he can be. Sherholtz has proven nothing more than Murphy has throughout his career. If you were not so defensive we could have had an intelligent argument about this instead of you getting butt hurt.

You can't provide one link twitter or anything.

It was on rant sports, and trending all over twitter. Look it up, I never said it was happening, in fact I said if it sounds too good to be true that it probably is, but it would be nice. Never confirmed anything. Move on.

I don't give a rat's ass what Murphy has done for his career. He's killing us right now and we need better. Schierholtz has been better. Nearly 4 months is long enough to pull the plug on the guy. I'm perfectly aware of the issue of small sample size. 3.5 months of garbage is plenty.

Want to talk about an intelligent conversation, try supporting your stupid statements with facts and numbers. Butthurt? Looks like you're the butthurt one once I posted the numbers showing how stupid your statement was.

Chicago Cubs Rumors: Matt Garza And Alfonso Soriano To Texas Rangers?

Sidenote - ESPN Radio is going nuts.

"Ohhhh if they get Garza... they should go out and get Cliff Lee ASAP."
"Have a rotation of Darvish, Lee, Garza, Holland as your playoff rotation."

Stupid statements? What so you can judge my statements because you think you know baseball? Numbers are there, Sherholtz is not a significant upgrade, and is not worth the prospects. If we give up prospects we can do much better. I never said Murph doesn't need to be replaced, but it shouldn't be Sherholtz. Stop being a douche, and if you disagree thats fine, but there is an intelligent way to go about an argument. You wouldn't talk shit to my face, I'm sure of it.

Hey there Internet tough guy. I bet you drive a big jacked up truck and your dog cowers when you enter the room right.

Can't talk numbers so you turn into a mouth breathing philistine. Thanks for playing.
