Series Thread: Rangers Visit Diamondbacks With Draft Implications September 22-23

And not without notice

IMO Oder and Joey should sit out the remainder of the season. We don't need Joey getting hot and driving in runs and Oder just doesn't deserve it. Play Solak at 2b.

Is Guzman injured? He was doing pretty well and all of a sudden he vanished.

think so. I was starting to think he deserved another shot. Bummer.

Seems like we have had several injuries lately.

I hope I eat these words, but my concern is that we should have sold high on Joey a year or two ago.

I think you are right on. I too hope I'm wrong but he appears to be walking in Oder's foot prints.

Let's hope he gets turned around before he walks as far down that road as Odor has.

Yes lets hope because while we have some young talent we have little or no power bats

well we still have 2 years before we have to think contract. he's a ARB2 player so sign him to the minimum he can get at arbitration and give him 1 more year to save his Rangers career

Hope he gets going again and trade him for prospects. He has not been a consistent hitter and we need someone more reliable.

Same here and anyone who never saw him really missed something special. RIP

Apostel and especially Huff should provide us with power bats eventually.

We will have to spend big money for one or two at some point as well.
