Rangers V The Clock - draft and trade deadlines approaching as ARI comes to the Grill

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Oh please don't let them have fucked this up...

Narrator: they did.

 

[saddles]

Well, I hate losing Hans Crouse. That ruins the whole deal for me. This front office is good at that though.

 

[saddles]

 

[darrylgann]

Not Hans!

 

[DTC]

Why in the hell would we include Hans Crouse who is young and pitching well and right in line with our time line in a package of veterans to get back what we did??
I’m beyond pissed.

 

[saddles]

 

[saddles]

Uncle.

I give up JD. You have completely lost me as a fan until you and the rest of management is gone.

 

[DTC]

Let’s add to our top 10 prospect list by trading away these veterans!

ok so trade away our #9??

Face palm

 

[scotsman1948]

knew JD would screw it up. Crouse WTF

 

[darrylgann]

You had time to lateral, JD. Another hour to go. Why throw in Crouse. Hope this Howard kid is worth it.

 

[DTC]

I’ll have to give the benefit of the doubt to the professionals on this one I guess.
Maybe they see something in all 3 of the guys we’re getting and maybe they’ll be great.

maybe they see something in Hans they don’t like.

time will tell

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

All things considered, that might be the worst trade in franchise history.

That Kindler for Fielder thing is up there

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

That Kindler for Fielder thing is up there

What I mean is, the Rangers had players basically every contender could have used. They didn't need to throw in any prospects. You can make the argument the return they were getting for Gibson/Kennedy was already on the light side. Tossing in their own #9? Absurd.

oof…… not only did we bring in a damaged goods Prince Fielder, but it also got rid of Kinsler at 2nd base and paved the way for ODOR to become the front offices favorite player for about 5-6 years.

 

[DTC]

Oh and we included $4 million in the deal

I’m a smooth brain ape so maybe That’s why I don’t understand the trade

 

[scotsman1948]

You had time to lateral, JD. Another hour to go. Why throw in Crouse. Hope this Howard kid is worth it.

and to add to it we're giving them $4M

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

And Bryant goes to the Giants.

Congrats, Rays. You deserve to stay at home in October.

I agree with you but that Kinsler/Fielder fiasco has stuck in my crawl about JD ever since.

Well in all honesty I was a die hard Fielder fan so I'm biased on that one.

he was a perfect fit for this team at the time and our old ball park. The front office screwed up by not discovering the past tense or the “was” part of it.
