Seems like Jack's ERA has been steadily declining for a few weeks
The good thing is that Lowe would pretty much rank out as a top three DH if you go off of OPS.Seager’s defense is middle of the road. There’s about 14 guys better and 15 guys worse.
I’ll take his defense and .800+ OPS all day..
Lowe on the other hand.. is 39th out of ranked 1B defense.. love his bat, but he needs to be full time DH. Love to have him stick around as part of the future.. at DH
I said many times during the off-season I thought he would be a very good hitter with a .800+ OPS.. he was my “rangers surprise player this year”
In his last 3 starts his ERA is 3.60. Not great, but definitely a step in the right direction.Seems like Jack's ERA has been steadily declining for a few weeks
Matt Bush trade looking good so far...Brilliant lineup with Mark M clearing the bases
9-0
We have had some possum and armadillo visitors which fascinate my young grandkids
Glad they get to experience a bit of nature
Nice dog
I think he makes the club him and Miller next year as utility bench roles. Complementary pieces. Injury may have hurt Miller. I don’t want him starting but don’t want to throw him a way and doubt if he blocks anybody even rule 5 from the bench.Matt Bush trade looking good so far...
don't agree about Miller not blocking anyone next season.I think he makes the club him and Miller next year as utility bench roles. Complementary pieces. Injury may have hurt Miller.

CF Eli White might become expendable since we have Bubba who is a better base runner all things else close to equal
Did not think I would get a consensus especially re a block of a playerdon't agree about Miller not blocking anyone next season.
also think we go with Garcia, Taveras, Thompson and White as our 4 outfielders next season until at least the trade deadline
yes i would prefer White over Miller. White will have value later on if we decide to trade.Did not think I would get a consensus especially re a block of a player
So you would rather have White over Miller?
Would have though some other prospect would have been projected over White if we are protecting players rule 5
We shall see
This might be the foundation we need to begin to decide who we would like to keep.So at some point we will need to list our list of rule 5 guys we must protect
plus Mathias will also fill Miller's spotyes i would prefer White over Miller. White will have value later on if we decide to trade.
Miller would clear a roster spot as would Howard, Allard, Solak, Ibanez and several others. with the Free Agents (Culbertson, Moore, Calhoun (pass on option), Leclerc (pass on option) & Arihara) plus those above we clear between 9 and 12 spots for adding those we need to protect + 2 or 3 pitching Free Agents
Garrett Richards was DFA'ed so no need to have him on this list.This might be the foundation we need to begin to decide who we would like to keep.
With Mitch Garver and Eli White on the 60 -day DL we effectively have 42 guys on the 40-man roster.

King is guy the Yanks likes. He can be moved. If we move Lowe to DH then unless Garver is healthy maybe we move him. He had a good eye at the plate and has more value as a catcherGarrett Richards was DFA'ed so no need to have him on this list.
don't think Garver, King, Mathias & White are going anywhere in the off-season
He will be part of one of those type of decisions that I have said before will determine if we simply have good teams over the next 5 or 6 years, or if we have great WS caliber teams eventually. At times, that will require the Rangers to part ways with adequate to good performing players in order to make room for a player that they feel could be a good to great players.Still wondering how Duran fits on the everyday lineup next year
Well, they liked him 13 months ago. They like Joey Gallo 13 months ago too.King is guy the Yanks likes.
Kelly I would put higher. That to me means you clear 10 spots at a minimumAt this time, I think this is the order I would put the guys who are under any level of consideration to be added to the 40-man. A lot could happen between now and November though.
