Seattle coming in 7-31 thru 8-2.

I wonder who blinked.

Meanwhile I guess we are hanging on to Gomez, Cashner, and Napoli for some unknown reason.

Would've thought we'd get something worth while for those first two. They still seem like prime waiver candidates.

So far I haven't liked a fucking thing I've heard.

 

[Duane1952]

It's being reported that Willie Calhoun is one of the prospects.

Willie Calhoun to Texas.

According to Morosi

He is a really good hitter, but will have to be converted to an OF.

 

[Bmurph]

A 2B prospect, Odor you hear this

 

[saddles]

They have 2 really good catcher prospects.

 

[darrylgann]

Probably corner.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Buehler or Alvarez better be in on it

[romeo212000]

Calhoun is a good start.

Buehler or Alvarez better be in on it

Nope. Thanks for playing.

 

[saddles]

Probably corner.

If I remember correctly his arm translates to LF.

Rangers' return for Darvish is Willie Calhoun, A.J. Alexy and Brendon Davis.

Alexy made headlines for all the wrong reasons when he threw a nine-inning, 164-pitch complete game at Twin Valley High (Elverson, Pa.) in May 2016. A month later, the Dodgers selected him in the 11th round and gave him $600,000 to pass up a commitment to Radford. He pitched sparingly in his pro debut last summer, then made such a good impression in his first Spring Training that he earned an assignment to Class A at age 18.

Alexy's best present weapon is his curveball, which has depth and could become a true plus offering once it adds more power. He usually works at 88-93 mph with his fastball and should add more velocity once he fills out his projectable 6-foot-4 frame. His changeup is more of a work in progress, but has some potential.

He didn't become a full-time pitcher until he was a junior in high school, so Alexy still has room for lots of growth. He has a quick arm and his pitches should continue to improve as he gets stronger and refines his delivery. Club officials praise his competitive nature.
