With no more shift, look for this player to rake

On Sept. 25, Corey Seager stepped to the plate against Cleveland’s Aaron Civale, and laced a hard-hit line drive to right field at 108 mph off the bat. This particular combination of exit velocity and launch angle has been a hit nearly 90 percent of the time since 2015; throw

Best thing about this is not the money but the team he is with. It is not the Rangers as some thought it might be.

Thank goodness. I guess Newberg will be a Twins fan now.

Gallo making $11m is insane.

Gallo making $11m is insane.

For a fact. $5.95 is too much but at least it is not Ranger money we can use for a better use.

Benitendi to CWS. 5/75

Damn.. was hoping the Rangers would get him.
Oh well.. maybe the can get a 1 year guy for a holdover for Zavala/Carter.. they’re coming quick.
Or maybe Smith and Duran can cement themselves as big leaguers next year.
Time will tell

Well we sure know Gallo was not offered 11mill from the Rangers or he sure would have taken it

that's only $74 million less than what they did offer him and he turned down.

I actually wouldn’t mind picking up Hosmer.
He has been above avg with the bat still and has good defense. May Benefit from the shift ban as well.

Can he still play 1B? If we do that I think we need to move Garver But I think there is more topside for Garver bat wise. But obviously injuries are an issue. I say we pass.

If we fill another spot I think it is via trade or maybe a Nelson Cruz

Here's Pipeline's first full 2023 mock draft

if this got posted before, I missed it.

4. Rangers: Paul Skenes, RHP, LSU
The last two years picking this high, the Rangers went with college arms in Jack Leiter and Kumar Rocker. Skenes, who transferred from Air Force and got scouts in Louisiana buzzing with his work in fall ball, could make it three in a row with his power repertoire.

Yep, I got it yesterday, I think, but that's okay. If you missed it, others probably did too. They are the first ones to list this guy anywhere near the top.

I would just as soon not take another pitcher in the first round next year. Hopefully a great hitter will be taken by us, and not a SS. Lol
