Chirinos and.the Rangers avoid arbitration. He signs for $1.55 million.

Read the article twice, saw nothing that resembles a slight towards Profar in any way.


More in the header, we should be so lucky. Fraley IMO has shown bias in past.

What exactly was the dig?
Most reported it saying how much he signed for. Fraley had to mention the percentage increase and remind everyone first that he hadn't played the last couple of years. This is his tweet to link to his story. Classy guys like TR Sullivan and Jeff Wilson didn't see fit to report it that way.

His article about Wilhelmsen has the same note about % increase in the title. Is he being a dick? Debatable. But he's certainly not "getting a dig in" with Profar.

Well I guess we disagree then. Then we have disagreed about Profar before so that is nothing new. The phrase, "How to get a raise without playing" is the clincher for me.

It isn't just using the percentage increase. If he didn't have a history of this kind of thing with younger players I might be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt as well.

Then, he has been dead wrong about veteran players as well like when he thought Pudge was washed up and not worth re-signing when Pudge left the first time.

More drivel

Now this from a guy who is clueless about our Rangers.

Actually, I wonder how many people they have on that station who have a clue about much really? I know Chris Arnold couldn't think his way out of sack.

I don't see that phrase in Fraley's article. I do, however see the phrase "Highly regarded infielder."

Yes, I am sure Fraley realizes that many hold Profar in high regard. You can see from what he writes that he doesn't regard him very highly though.

She probably played her college ball as a Longhorn as well.
Only Longhorn Romeo ever liked. You can bet he will roll out the red carpet for the first lady of MLB.
