At least we have a GM who isn't a NY Giants fan now. Lol

I’m not sure what to think of this. I mean JD is still here and has the final say on everything.

Strange to say the least. Good to hear from you.

You too man. Hope you are well and an early happy Christmas to you.

would you do this trade:

Yankees get Lance Lynn

Rangers get Estevan Florial OF, Miguel Yajure RHP & Trevor Stephen RHP

I don’t know much about the prospects, but we need to get younger and more talented. We aren’t going to be winning anytime soon so I hope they can flip Lynn for something good that is likely to pan out or actually help us.

still hearing Rangers are in on Ha-Seong Kim SS if he gets posted bt his KBO team. if they get him what does that do to the IKF move to SS

every move is a gamble

None of those prospects are in the MLB top 100 so I would imagine the Yankees would do the deal.

I would rather have Luis Gil by himself than those three. He is their number 5 prospect and also not in the MLB top 100.

I thought you take whatever. Now you want quality. If his contract was for more than 1 year

Key words:

"I would rather..."

Demanding quality would be asking for one of their top 3 prospects.

Rule 5 Draft names to watch 2020

Which we did prior to the trade deadline and if I remember correctly you basically complained that we should have taken what they were willing to give

Lol.

What happened then and you asking a hypothetical question now are two different things. Me giving an alternative trade opinion to yours does not equate to the Rangers not getting a trade done.

From a Jeff Wilson article:

But the overriding sense here from Tuesday’s news drop is that the wrong player lost his job. Rougned Odor has been told (again) that he must win the job at second base, with Nick Solak his main competition, but Odor wasn’t pushed aside as Andrus was.

That might mean more about the Rangers’ stockpile of second baseman than it means Odor has compromising photos of Jon Daniels.

The Rangers still aren’t sure if Solak’s defense will be reliable enough to handle second base over a full season. If the Rangers aren’t convinced that Solak is a better defender than Odor, who’s not exactly Bill Mazeroski out there, then that’s problem.

Daniels said that Justin Foscue, the 2020 first-rounder from Mississippi State, likely won’t make his MLB debut in 2021. Considering Foscue has yet to play as a professional, well, that makes sense.

But there is a growing caucus in the organization that believes Foscue will be a star. When Baseball America, MLB Pipeline and the sort reveal their organizational prospect rankings a year from now, Foscue could be the Rangers’ No. 1.

I wonder how many erroneous personnel decisions will be made around MLB based on 2020 performances?

i would think NONE but who knows

I think there are bad decisions every year, but I would imagine the 2020 numbers, which were really skewed die to the unusual situations, will serve as a temptation to be over valued by some, either in a negative or positive way.
