Rios and Murphy?

Sorry guys, but you can't make me believe that Wash deserves it. His in game decisions are atrocious. He is a fantastic clubhouse guy, and the players love him. That's where it ends

Ask other fan bases about their manager and they'll say the same things. I can't see how you don't think he deserves serious consideration. Not sure he'll win it but he has done a fantastic job with this team this season.

If the Rangers get the West, Wash will get it, and he will deserve it IMO. With the losses at the plate and the injuries to the rotation, he deserves a lot of credit

Martin is going to be a star. I think this year is only the sneak preview. Next year is going to be his break out season. He's not going anywhere.

I wouldn't mind having Cruz back. Yeah, he cheated, but he never claimed innocence, confessed guilt, accepted the penalty, and expressed deep regret. He handled it like a man. He seems to love it in Arlington, and the Rangers might get him back a little cheaper because of his screw up.

I hardly know anything about Rios, but he's an upgrade over Murphy. I don't think Murphy is coming back unless he is OK with being the bench guy.

Martin is going to be a star. The kid doesnt always show it, but when he wants to really hit the jets, he has a 2nd gear that maybe 4 or 5 players in the game can match

Also looking at some other reports martin is scouted as a very good all around player not a superstar

Those would be accurate, thats what I've always read about him, don't forget he's already 25

Yep I really like what he brings.

He will get some consideration, but to this point I think Melvin would have the same case and that's just a team in the same division.

Absolutely. You can even make a case for Joe Maddon and if somehow they can sneak into the playoffs Francona should get a look as well.

Sure, and Farrell as well. While I think most thought the Sox would be better this year, they have 17 more wins than they did at this point last year under a new manager.

There was a bunt he beat out in the Oakland game, and we rewound it four or five times because it looked like the Bo Jackson play against Seattle on MNF when it looked like the tape had been sped up. When he kicked it it, he was a straight up blur
