Texas Rangers 2022 - 2023 Offseason Thread

[Kelleyman]

Ok will play devils advocate. Some say batters may level the swing a little and try to be more into contact so the supposed new approach lessens strikeouts

Some may have also been more conducive to letting the shift get into their heads as well. The question for those cases is what else can get into their heads more easily than others?

If the Rangers were going to add a hitter, he would have been the one I most wanted to pick up for a year.

Thinking @Duane1952 was making a joke lol

Yes I was. I wasn’t serious.

Haven't checked the math, but I think the Yankees may have broken our offseason spending record.

Rich hill is solid

He is, saw him pitch when he was with the Dodgers but he will be 43 this Spring.

I should have caught it. It's on me.

No biggee i don’t catch things regularly

With DeGrom and Semiens contracts being up in 5-6 years that will give us some room to extend our homegrown superstars Josh Jung & Evan Carter

No thanks. Need to go younger not older.

No problem.

I’d have Owen White above Kent?
Nice deep starting pitching depth

White has no experience at AAA and Kent does. At some point during the season White might pass him on the depth chart, but not to begin the season.

This depth is only good if the Rangers commit to not robbing it for the bullpen. Come on CY, go get us some bullpen pieces.

It’s not robbing if you own it. Broken record here Would not be surprised if Otto takes a prominent pen role. What about Burke? Maybe he starts maybe he does not.

It will be interesting to see if Kyle Cody eventually enters into that starting pitcher depth.
