The FO has a giant decision on their hands and the Rangers have the M's for 4: SEA @ TEX 7/14-17

He is always going to look lost the way Woody plays him. Almost every single young and inexperienced hitter does poorly when sitting so much. It is almost like it is planned failure.

He needs to go back down until, he has to be played everyday or he can fix the holes in his swing in the minors and gain confidence. Zero point in him being up, the way he is being used and all the strikeouts. Destined to be Gallo 2.0 with no real spot to play. Gallo at least turned out to be a good right fielder. Huff may could be a DH but dont know if he will ever hit because this organization doesn't develop players to their potential.

The only way he would have to be played everyday is if Heim is injured or hurt, or if Woodward and the front office were all fired. Let's hope Heim isn't injured, but that would be the only realistic way, so Huff has virtually no chance to play every day on this team.

Unfortunately, we can expect a lot more mistakes along the way, just like this one with Huff.

I thought he was brought up to replace Garver. But our idiot manager was playing Duggar more than him. Today was the first time he played in 3 games. And he didn't get to play the whole game.

Yep, planned failure.

Kershaw made it into the 8th with a perfect game.

Kershaw made it into the 8th with a perfect game.

I am surprised at how well he is pitching this year. I figured based on his age and how long he has been pitching including many post-seasons he would decline.

Staying healthy is his big issue, and he's missed some time this season

The impatience and lack of common sense is astounding sometimes.

we need to fire Woody and bring a manager who understands that when we bring up a prospect to the team that someone needs to be immediately benched and that prospect needs to play every day. Woody should have benched either Lowe or Heim and put them at the end of the bench

Lowe is one of the best hitters on the team, no manager past, present, or future would bench him so a rookie can get ABs.

well Heim is one of the top catchers in the league offensively and defensively but some sacrifices must be made so that the kids get playing time. the only other option is to bench Calhoun and play Huff at DH every game and play Elier in LF permanently and Smith at 3B permanently with Miller & Culberson welded to the bench

 

[DT LUNA]

Duran with three gits tonight and another HR, but can this team figure out how to use him?

Thinking the same thing. Hernandez, Leody and Smith makes for a nice problem.

Then there is Duran. What are you going to do with him?

Now you're onto something. Miller, Culberson, and Calhoun don't need ABs.

 

[DT LUNA]

The FO has got to be making some serious moves. It is getting crowded and somebody has to go if we are to play all our prospects full time.

 

[scotsman1948]

then you have to consider possibly moving Garcia or even Semien to give Duran max playing time. it is never-ending conundrum of scenarios

but that only takes care of what prospects we have on the ML roster right now, what about Duran etc? who do we drop to the bench to make sure he geta max playing time?

Semien isn't going to be moved and Garcia not likely either.

i think that will be impossible until the next off-season
