Texas Rangers 2024-2025 Offseason Thread

[DT LUNA]

Father Time exacerbates injuries and prolongs them. He also slows bat speeds.

Prince Fiellder had a secret injury as well. Those kind tens to be the career threatening kind, or at least the kind that begins a career decline.

It appears obvious in Garcia.

Our difference re Cole R fix. I agree with velo increase but the slider I give credit to KC

Yeah, even though Cole talks about Zombro and Tread working with him on his slider in the article in The Athletic, and about them givng him feedback during the season. He definitely improved as he went along in 2023, but being in a rotation greatly facilitated that. That part KC definitely helped, but then again, that is where I always claimed the Rangers failed.

I am not sure if it was injury that slowed his bat. Maybe neck but age surely was a factor
