Spencer Howard is the starter in the last minor league game of the year for the Rangers.

Last chance at redemption?

Ready for season to close out and move forward

He even needs an opener in AAA. Yerry pitched the first 2 innings.

Pretty messy

And thus should end the great Spencer Howard experiment. The trade was a failure. It is time to move on. We just make matters worse if he has a roster spot going into the Rule 5 draft. If they really want Howard, they could probably release him and sign him to a minor league deal.

For the record Bubba may never long term be a 4th OF but it might be a vote of confidence to him if he for to lead off once in a while

From Jeff Wilson:

Catching coordinator Bobby Wilson has been pleased with how well Sam Huff has been catching since returning from Round Rock. There are teachable moments and Huff gets a steady dose of reinforcement, but he’s a better catcher than he was earlier in the season. Wilson came up with the Angels and remembers manager Mike Scioscia carrying three catchers on the roster. It’s possible the Rangers could carry Jonah Heim, Mitch Garver and either Huff or Meibrys Viloria or a Kevin Plawecki-type veteran next season.

A really bad trade. I have no faith in the Rangers organization to do the right thing and release him.

Kyle Cody got in 2 scoreless innings in the final game of the year for our system. He gave up 3 hiys and struck out 2. He finishes up AAA with a 3.60 ERA.

i'm ready for him to be dropped from the 40 to clear the way for one of our prospects

The lineup seems a little late today. Wonder if a roster change is responsible.

Other than Calhoun, I like the lineup.
