Good riddance.

 

[scotsman1948]

Well yes regardless who is at 2B after ST. I doubt they are a future winning piece and at best a bridge

exactly

 

[scotsman1948]

He details it out pretty well but there are some choices I agree and disagree with.
I just think you try to keep high ceiling players and cut losses on MLB fringy players.
Doubt we are huge players in rule 5

Like to see more on this. Also thought maybe we trade some prospects for other prospects so not to expose them kind of like the Yankees did a few years ago.

there are choices some will not agree with some and cry about others

I would keep Anderson, Sborz, Santana, Patton, Evans, Bush and possibly Allard and Cotton.
Everyone performed decent besides Allard and Bush is coming back, possibly.

But yes to the other 16.

Evans I don’t think any one would take. He can’t throw a strike I want to keep Bush but he will probably sign a MILB contract coverting to MLB. Is not Patton a FA. He is fine to sign later

I saw Santana pitch. He is ok but no where considered a great pitcher. Anderson sis not look that great to me.
Allard would not be a huge loss

Bush looked dominant but yes only one outing

Truthfully none of them are all that great. But I would imagine they will retain some of the pitcher.
Wouldn’t be sad if anyone on the list went lol

Some of them can be non-tendered and re-signed to a minor league deal.

way too easy for you. not as easy for CY and the team on some of those

 

[scotsman1948]

A whole lot of fodder.

again to you not all of them are

 

[True Rangers Fan]

Postseason baseball begins tonight, fellas. Nothing better in the sports world.

 

[scotsman1948]

doubt the budget will anywhere near top 10-12. more likely the budget will be closer to 80-90M with the biggest number of players of it being on prospects with maybe 2-4 Veteran FA's. i thought you supported the rebuild and this sounds like the old JD plan. 1 SP, 1 SS, 1 OF and possible a 1B if the team moves on from Guzman and/or Lowe. the rest of the 25/26 would be 4/5 prospect SP's from Allard. Hearn, Alexy, Dunning, Otto and possibly Winn and a couple of others, Huff, Heim, Jung, Solak, Garcia, Peters, Ibanez, Y. Hernandez, Taveras, maybe Walker as DH, and a reliever corp of 7

Evan Grant's very early prediction about the makeup of the Rangers roster in 2022:

Catchers (2): Jose Trevino, Jonah Heim

Infielders (6): 1B Nathaniel Lowe, 2B Isiah Kiner-Falefa, SS Trevor Story, 3B Josh Jung, INF Andy Ibáñez, INF Nick Solak

Outfielders (4): OF Adolis García, OF Michael Conforto, OF DJ Peters, OF Willie Calhoun
INF-OF Chris Taylor

Relievers (8): RHP Joe Barlow, LHP Brett Martin, LHP John King, RHP Jharel Cotton, LHP Kolby Allard, RHP Nick Snyder, RHP Dennis Santana, RHP Spencer Patton

There is a lot to not like about his ideas.

Compare to what Jeff Wilson said a few days ago.

What he sees in the lineup next year if no FA are signed..
Huff will catch in the minors next year. Heim and Trevino will be the catchers next year.
He goes with Lowe and Solak at 1B and 2B. Jung at 3B. He thinks if Jung had not gotten hurt that he would be up here already.
Peters in LF. Leody in CF and Garcia in RF.. A platoon with Ibanez and Calhoun at DH.
Leclerc at closer.


If they sign free agents and/or make trades he goes with:
Dunning, Hearn, Arihara, Sonny Gray, and Otto in the rotation.
Same catchers and same at 1B and 2B. Solak keeps seat warm for Foscue. Still Jung at 3B.
Trevor Story at SS. He already lives in Colleyville in the offseason.
IKF is a utility player.
Same players in the OF and same at DH and closer.
