Texas Rangers 2020-2021 Offseason Thread

I don’t think Dunning will but think the other 2 will. I don’t think they get too much time in MLB this year. Hopefully the others make some positive strides

Of the three, I think Huff has the least chance of significant playing time in the big leagues this year. I am thinking Jung is up here by late July and Dunning is here from Day 1, unless another young starter moves past him in ST. Huff's time up here may depend on Trevino's performance and health.

I can see that but even after July they may keep their prospect status next year. That is ambitious for Jung but doable

DeShields has been signed. It is a minor league deal with a ST invite.

Kluber trade looking fantastic

I would venture to say that if DDJ is not rostered by end of ST whenever that may be he seeks to be released but guess he has a shot with our newbie needing to be tested a tad

What a bad take by Evan. Either Taveras has earned it or he needs more minor league time. That decision needs to already be decided. ST numbers are meaningless. What happens in ST should not be a deciding factor, unless it is a work ethic issue or something non-production related.

It was a fantastic inning that he gave us.

Extrapolate it out over a full season and that's a guaranteed Cy Young award

Desperation? lol

Yep, if everyone pitched like that for us we could go undefeated.

I almost responded to him but was working. “Legitimately competition”. I almost choked. Tavaras starts or is in the minors but if he is not starting in the Majors something seriously went wrong.
He should be penciled in at this point

In another tweet he acted as if we have given positions to several others before and it backfired. I can't think of several others like that. Even Odor earned his position in the beginning.

How are things sizing and shaping up for the 2021 MLB Draft? Our draft staff sits down to discuss who’s rising, who’s falling and what teams may surprise this July.

www.prospectslive.com

This mock draft has us taking Florida OF Jud Fabian. I wouldn't mind that right now. Let's see how things shake out over the next few weeks.

I kind of like Adrian Del Castillo
I’m no scout though lol

I agree 100% as soon as I read what Evan had to say.

Commish will likely now got to at abst for owners. The next CBA negotiations will be a blood bath

I will try to not make any plans to go this year. It got canceled last year the day I was supposed to go.
