Mr Bean says lets trade with the Rangers. They're kicking our a$$.

I don't know what his future is with the Rangers.....but Odor is one hustling little SOB isn't he?

He plays the game the way it should be played, and has got to be a positive for the coaches/team overall to have on the squad.

One of those kind of players you don't want to play against.

From Calvin Watkins:

"The Texas Rangers will be among several, if not all, major league teams watching the workout of Cuban defector Yasmani Tomas in the Dominican Republic this weekend.

With the Rangers in need of a right fielder if they don't pick up Alex Rios' $13 million team option for 2015, Tomas could be a fit for the future.

Tomas, 23, was recently cleared for employment by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets and Control.

According to Baseball America, during the 2012-13 Serie Nacional regular season, Tomas had a slash line of .289/.364/.538 with 15 home runs and 34 walks in 81 games. He ranked fifth in slugging and sixth in home runs. In the 2013-14 season, his numbers slipped to .290/.346/.450 with just six home runs and 46 strikeouts in 257 plate appearances.

Baseball America reported Tomas injured a shoulder during the season after crashing into a wall."

I've come to the conclusion that Elvis should just bunt and avoid automatic DP's.

I am afraid we might have to settle for the 4th pick the way we have been playing.

Anyone notice what's missing from our offense. The constant use of the sacrifice bunt. Not just giving outs away. It serves its purpose when used appropriately but not when used all the time.

I thought the observation on TAG & Buzz's part about the calls Choo has gotten this year pretty revealing.

They said Choo has had 30-40 pitches "well outside the SZ" which have been called. Most of them on the outside part of the plate.

Wonder why that is?

Umps trying to show up his OBP

Oh I have no idea, that was just a conspiracy theorist guess by me
