Texas Rangers vs Milwaukee Brewers (8/13-8/14)

[Hambombs]

Isn't his salary 20 mill. Even though paying just the remaining part of it but that is a lot of money.

Is his contract up after this year?

 

[TDs3nOut]

Barry zito anyone?

I don't think so. Afraid he'd get lit up in the AL at RBPIA. He can still pitch effectively in SF, though.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Is his contract up after this year?

Yes because he would need to pitch 200 innings and he has pitched less than 90.

 

[RevSader]

Ogando's numbers as a reliever are a bit better than they are as a starter. He seems to me to get in trouble with his pitch count too often to pitch deep into games. His best year was 2010 when he pitched only out of the pen. I've always wondered whether stretching him out to become a starter the next year might have hindered his development, since he's never been dominant since then.

No his best year was when he started in 2011.

Ogando hurt again? Trade this guy for a solid bat in the offseason. Let the guy go pretend to be a starter and spend half the season on the DL for another club. Either stick him in the pen or time to move on. Could be a great set-up guy for Schep or Soria next season if Nathan isn't resigned, but I really hope his SP days with the Rangers are over.

I wouldn't mind him as a 5th starter here if khan do goes down

Well that's not reasonable.

Well that's not reasonable.

Sure it is, for the exact reasons he just listed


I just agreed with jaar...

 

[Hambombs]

When does the game start?

 

[Hambombs]

Well that's not reasonable.

You know what I agree with jaar too

You know what I agree with jaar too

You like me! You really like me!

The year in which his ERA was highest was his best year? I don't think so. He was dominant out of the pen in 2010. Never has been since.

I never hated you lol

Time to move on? That's ridiculous. He's under control, VERY CHEAPLY, until 2017, and people are willing to just be done with him?

You are using ERA to make your argument....I am going to ignore it.

Not be done with him. Trade for a solid bat...

I hope that doesn't happen. You don't trade away quality arms that are locked up until 2017 for a "quality bat." What does that even mean?

His advanced stats are bad. He's extremely lucky this year.

Well if they are that bad, how can you expect to get good value for him in a trade?

So ogando is injured again?
