rangers trade thoughts........

Please tell me youre not comparing Trumbo to Harper and Trout?

Thats what you got from that?

No genius but the point is its a trade that would never happen. You need to improve your reading comprehension.

Well I only brought it up cause angels fans have brought it up.

 

[Swangin]

Yeah that's why I think its unlikely. Trumbo doesn't bring any value besides offense, which is what we need.

Trumbo is a 27yo that hits 30 HRs and makes around 500K

 

[romeo212000]

Yeah, from what I've seen they're a modicum of baseball knowledge. Doesn't mean you should parrot it.

 

[Hambombs]

Trumbo is a 27yo that hits 30 HRs and makes around 500K

Yeah I know

 

[Swangin]

Yeah I know

Well what do you think it would cost to get a player that hits 30+ HRs only making 500K+ from a team within the division

 

[Hambombs]

Probably 2-3 good prospects. But he is only a 2-3WAR player

Jason Cole

Going to watch #Rangers RHP Neftali Feliz throw a live batting practice session later today. He should be out of here in about a week.


Hopefully Neftali gets well soon

 

[romeo212000]

Probably 2-3 good prospects. But he is only a 2-2.5 WAR player

Try 3 of our top 5 prospects.

 

[Hambombs]

Well if they were so Keen on trading him for a starter during the offseason then why would it take that much? I don't know if I agree with that

 

[romeo212000]

Because we're their division rivals. The only way they trade him to us is if they fleece us.

That's awesome for someone making 500K. that's as good or better than Cruz and 8 million cheaper. Actually, 10M less than Cruz this year

 

[Hambombs]

That's awesome for someone making 500K. that's as good or better than Cruz and 8 million cheaper

Yeah this is true

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Seems like the sellers are fewer this year or maybe it just seems that way. There are teams you would think are sellers but are holding on to what they have.

Yeah, Gm's were talking about this including Daniels. There is a article on it too. Less sellers and Less Impact Players on the market

There are fewer sellers and its because of that stupid second wild card.

 

[Hambombs]

Exactly. I'm also kind of Glad there is because rangers are right there for the 2nd wildcard

 

[WastinSomeTime]

There are fewer sellers and its because of that stupid second wild card.

And the teams that are sellers just don't have OFers that really grab you. Then you have teams like Miami and Seattle who are not playing the selling game. Then a sorry NL West that will Keep the Rockies and Giants possibly from selling.

 

[romeo212000]

Exactly. I'm also kind of Glad there is because rangers are right there for the 2nd wildcard

Who wants a 162 game season to come down a single play in game? All its done is lessen opportunities for real contenders to improve.

And JD is having to wait to the last second to see if there will be more sellers.
