Series Thread: The annual Silver Boot series kicks off tonight - Rangers in Houston May 1-4

It won't hurt to shop them. I would have shopped Beltre in 20014 when we could have gotten something very nice for him, but that is a whole different discussion. We would have to include some money with Cole, but if that is the case then so be it. We would have to include a ton of money at this point for Choo, but if we could get a GM dumb enough to bite then take the plunge. If we trade Yu I would still like to see us go after him in the offseason.

100% on Yu. Get a nice haul, then take a shot

Cardinal idea there.

Ironically, this idea was being bounced around at the Offshore Bar in Lake Highlands just last night.

I bet JD is delighted to be getting all this " If it were me stuff" but if it were me, I would want to know who is replacing all the people I'm trading.

Banny indicated just now that Joey Gallo will hit higher in the lineup tonight.

Some of those replacements will come back in those trades on a delayed basis. Some of the replacements might be gotten via another trade where we flip some pieces that we pick up. Some of the replacements will come via free agency. Some will come from guys like Mendez, Trevino, Guzman and others already in our organization.

I might be the biggest Roogie fan on this board, but holy shit:

"Since the start of the second week of the season, Odor ranks last in the AL in batting average (.145), OBP (.193) and OPS (.422). And right now he's hitting fourth!"

And why not? We have to do something to kick start the offense.

Thanks Eph. Good read but no surprises.

Rangers put Hammels on the DL, expect him to miss 8 weeks.

Darvish Perez Cashner and who? Martinez for sure. Griffin and Ross when off DNL. Looking bleak.

Odor #2?

I'm predicting a multi-hit game.

Yea, Nap is batting 7th today.

The lineup is so terrible that Elvis is hitting 3rd. That's not a knock on Elvis, he's one of my favorite Rangers, but he always hit at the bottom of the order when this team was good.

He was primarily the #2 hitter in 2011.

Yep and that was when Wash almost ruined him by bunting and hit/run
