@si_mlb: Adrian Beltre leads the list of players having superb seasons for cellar-dweller teams. Adrian Beltre delivering again despite Rangers' abject 2014 season - MLB - SI.com http://t.co/9ljEaYDpIO

......thank you Darryl

Good read and shows the respect many in baseball have for AB.

For those interested in Evan Gattis. Cannot imagine anyone wanting BJ Upton. I loved it when he was coming to bat for Tampa in those playoff games because you just knew he would do nothing.

Those games Cliff started...I just expected them all to strike out. And they really did...

Gattis could be a potential catching bridge/future DH.

Mid 90s teams were the ones that got me to fall in love with baseball.

I was four the last season Sundberg and and Bell played.

I am surprised Rev that you included Cruz. That does not mean I am disagreeing with you. I loved Palmeiro at one time but his debacle when he took the stand on his drug use soured me on him.

Pudge
Beltre
MY (stuck with us when we were bad)
JuanGone
Bell (he was all we had for a while)

If I could throw in a ship passing in the night favorite it might be Napoli. What a half a year he had.

I loved Palmeiro too. Actually I might have him over Cruz, because of how much I liked him.

I believed in Nelson the first time I ever saw that dude hit a homer in a Ranger uniform. Made me so proud when he finally got more playing time and became such an offensive force. I wish he had stayed a Ranger, but I totally get why he left and don't fault he or the Rangers for it. I also have never blamed him for Game 6.

I loved Koji as a pitcher too. Also loved Joe Nathan in his short time as a Ranger.

Love to give Mr. Beltre another chance at the WS before he's done.

Got my vote on those two

we've got our DH in Fielder. he ain't good for anything else

i would too but without going after at least a couple of SP's this off-season it could be 5 or 6 years or more before we even sniff the playoffs again and AB will gone by then

He's going to be playing first. Don't know what to tell ya.

Splitting time with Rangers and Cowboys. Hate having them at same time.

I am with you on Cruz including the game 6 play. That was just one play of many that affected that game.

Same here. SC down 10-0 just hit a 69 yard TD pass.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

you may be right but you may be wrong.

We may have a DH by committee.

 

[RevSader]

That is some real heady stuff there. If the guy is healthy the probability of him playing first base everyday is pretty high. They didn't take on his contract to watch him sit on his ass half the game.
