Series Thread: Rangers Travel to Houston For Three Games July 12-14

[DT LUNA]

Eric Loomis is the 16th round pick. He checks both boxes. He is a relief pitcher and he has a very high ERA.

I think one of our biggest needs are scouts.

Joey Danielson in the 17th round checks both boxes, as well.

Texas Rangers Odds to Make 2024 Playoffs​

Make Playoffs: +500

Not good. Number should be negative. Time to sell if you believe those odds.

They could unload Heaney and Lorenzen and keep Yates as a hedge.

Kaden Leon, a high school pitcher from Lake Travis, is the 18th round pick. He seems to be very highly regarded. He was named as one of only 4 pitchers as 6A All State.

From Twitter:

"Leon, a 3-sport ATH, has been up to 94 MPH; 2803 RPM CB spin; flashed a new, promising SL; and has CH feel, too. Performer and competitor."

I wonder if he will be a tough sign.

I think one of our biggest needs are scouts.

And coaches that can make prospects into major league players.

If both Moore and Janek had been taken, do you think they would have taken who they thought was the third best catcher or reverted to a draft the best player available philosophy?

Ha valid point but perhaps there is not much separation between the two catchers
Maybe they would take both but re Janek no argument re arm

I think unless we spiral Into a black hole we are not selling to big extent. Sure we could move someone for a need but we have Seager Ana Marcus in hopefully peak years.
Too early to throw in the towel

The veteran for veteran trade is something that you rarely ever see any longer.

As fat as selling goes, unless we show we can make the playoffs, selling is the smart thing to do. Other than winning 82 games versus 72 to 75 games, there would be no reason not to sell, if we cannot be in the postseason.

Corey just missed one at 410' marker

Ragans faced some tough batters.

Glad ASG is over. Horrible product. If players don’t care, why should we?
