Texas Rangers 2022 - 2023 Offseason Thread

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

I don't think we need Perez and a #1 starter. I think Perez, if signed, should be the #1 starter. So, right off I disagree with his first two steps when presented as 2 separate steps. The one exception for me would be Kershaw on a very short term deal.

There are parts of step 3 that I am very much against.

I completely disagree with his step 4.

In theory, I agree with his 5th step because I like the idea of pursuing a closer. It would be higher up the list for me and I wouldn't go the cheaper route he proposes.

ah, I've misunderstood where you've been coming from then.

I would be happy with Perez ($14) on 3 years, Nick Martinez ($8)on 2 & Kershaw($20) on 2.
That would allow our top pitching prospects to come up in due time while solidifying our current rotation.
I would then resign Moore @ $5 million & Andrew Chaffin @ $9 per yr
I would try to pick up Hunter Renfroe from the brewers as well. He’s a non tender candidate, mainly bc of the brewers finances.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

personally I would like to acquire a pitcher that easily pushes a re-signed Perez to #2. I don't really want Kershaw though.

I don't mind going longer with Nick, because he is a natural candidate to move to the pen when a prospect shows he is ready to take Nick's spot in the rotation.

Boch interview. Pretty certain about getting new pitchers

Just before Rocker takes the mound I am going to guess at what he will do today.

3 ip
2 hits
1 walk
5 strikeouts
0 runs

He starts with a 1, 2. 3 first with no strikeouts.

He starts with a 1, 2. 3 first with no strikeouts.

In the 2nd he strikes out the side after a leadoff single.

For the first 2 innings:

27 pitches with 17 strikes

A clean 3rd with 2 more strikeouts.

A total of 45 pitches with 30 of them strikes. Not sure if he is done or not, but very impressive either way.

 

[saddles]

His final line was even better than I had guessed.

Yeah looks like Rocker had a very encouraging outing. He looked comfortable and was throwing strikes and without max velocity

I wonder of there is any chance of a reunion for the Rangers and Gibson.

We should be striving for better than Gibson. And I say that as a fan of his.

One of the best seasons by a pitcher that I can remember.
