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

[DTC]

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

I didn’t mind the kinsler/fielder trade at the time.
Fielder played in every game for years and had some pop and played 1B. We had odor ready for 2nd and kinsler popped out too much lol

because of what happened with fielder it looks bad but had fielder played a few years with an OPS over .800 it would have worked out

I think at the time, the intention was to move kinsler out to make room for profar.

Yeah I was never much of a Kinsler fan either.

I think they opened up 2B because of Profar, Odor and Luis Sardinas we’re all almost ready.

With Crouse and the money included in this deal, JD got fleeced again.

I have not seen any mention of money, is there a source on that

And we would definitely seen more playoff years if he stayed healthy. That’s why I’m a little concerned on this Howard kid. Check his medicals. Don’t let him be a TJ victim ready to happen.

I am split on whether our front office guys are morons or imbeciles.

It’s about half and half I think. Either way we’re down a good pitcher regardless

Just got back from the dr's office. He put me on a anxiety pill. Guess he knew I was watching the Ranger trades.

 

[DTC]

Maybe next year Spencer Howard will go 12-8 with a 3.50 ERA and we will all be happy for his trajectory

or better yet maybe Howard will out pitch Gibson over the next 2 months

According to multiple reports we are sending them $4M

Again, I have yet to see anyone outside of this board say that, so if you have a source that would be great.

 

[Nightcrawler]

This front office throws money around! Only during the trade deadline.

Thank you.

Also, JFC Rangers.

Flip a coin, both apply.

On the surface it sounds bad but let's give it some time to see what develops. Howard may be much more than it seems at the moment. Hope Gibbs does well but he had been less than great the last few outings. Crouse still has to prove out too.
