Yeah I noticed the low average but very high .438 OBP. Figured maybe he needs to face pitchers throwing more strikes
Dustin Harris hit .301 for Down East before being moved up. Zavala hit .302 while he was there.

Free agency is nearly upon us. I hope the Rangers look to get their guy early. Especially if they are not going after Corea and Seager. No reason to wait until these sign especially if we get an overpay early

There is no way we can one of these guys at huge discount so I hope we don’t over negotiate
I hope we land our guy first. Strike quickly.

I seem to be one of a few who belives in salary caps.
One of the reasons I am against them is because it severely limits trading. There are other reasons as well.

I never learn from my mistakes, haha.

I should clarify: I'm not saying the Rangers shouldn't do it. It's more about being pissed at the market in general.
I get that. Baseball is not the same as it was in our youth and when I was able to do the season ticket thing. Now not so much

I’m wondering what kind of trades the Rangers will make to get their 40 man roster in check.
There has to be some movement.

I am not against them but we may be seeing salary floors in the near future

I feel really bad for DT having to cover everyone's dogs and beers given what concession prices are these days.

Or a lot of releases and non-tenders.

But maybe some trades if we are fortunate. Maybe some rule 5 guys we leave unprotected or marginal roster guys for younger prospects

If we only attempt to trade the guys we are about to have to release then we won't get much of anything offered back. No one wants to give up anything for this team's rejects.

Now, if we attempt to trade IKF or Lowe we might get something.
