Scotty will love this.

As long as the team is trying to get better in their eyes I'm going to be happy

Any legitimacy to this report? The Rangers maybe the front runners for Castellanos
All I could find was this link and 2 more links in Spanish..
If anyone can read Spanish do these articles look like good info?

Welcome to the board...re Castellanos.. maybe too pricey for Rangers until they get 3B figured out IMO. Wonder if we wait out until end to pick up another RHB

Looked good second half. Thought was to let him take some 1B because no defense

You never know when a window or door is going to open

I think someone could guess pretty accurately the past couple of seasons if they were the least bit objective. There have been quite a few seasons where that has been the case over the past couple of decades.

Open windows don't come as a surprise too often. Sometimes they come a year earlier or later than expected.

You can always kick out a closed window to force it open. Of course, you usually get your foot and leg cut up on the glass from the window. Then you may find yourself on the other side badly hobbled. You could bleed out. Gangrene could set in and you might have to have part of your leg amputated.

One thing that was very obvious was that the Rangers window of opportunity was closing and the Astros opening. Everyone could see that happening as we depleted our farm system to try and win a World Series and the Astros were rebuilding while taking it on the chin.

Haha let’s hope we don’t hurt ourselves Maybe past neck damage (Prince?). Or worse some calling for a current amputation at the neck? Surely not!!


Yes there are 3-4 holes in this lineup minus great improvement and/or additions.

he will be here opening day. Just gotta accept it as a fact of life.

I’m just hoping we can make first base and 3rd base better or deeper somehow.

You never can be absolute sure about a window. Sometimes adding that one player either through FA, trade or bringing up a prospect can make a major difference. Sitting and waiting for a perceived window to open while waiting for prospects to either develop or not could cause a delay of years

Or you could just open it without the drama. Waiting for the window to open itself could result in a long wait

You can be fairly accurate and you have to make guesses at times.

There is a difference between patience and inaction. To some preparation looks the same as inaction. And to some, any action is seen as favorable, while some actions are bound to backfire and set you back a lot. Discernment, patience and wisdom is a great combination.

A window that is nailed shut is hard to open without some drama.

He will be there until is contract is up.

I highly doubt the team option is picked up tho.

I guess that still leaves 20,21, and 22.

If he has a good month in Sept of 2022 they might pick it up.

Hurry please

Oops last message meant for wife. On the road to Austin and she is in the black hole also known as BUC-EE’S

There is no way you can be accurate about most prospects. You are shooting craps with every one of them as to whether they are going to be major league material or not

There are the black holes at C and 3rd that have to be addressed and we have to hope CF and 1B are handled by Santana and Guzman and that Solak bumps Odor
