I'll take the blame for this one. Happy D-Day everyone!

Good to see one David Murphy this weekend. Hope he's doing well, but not against us!

Glad to see Murph playing for the other team. Throw the ball in the Murphy zone.

Would like to see some offense in this series. It will be nice to see David Murphy get a big round of applause from the Rangers fans. Let's win this series

DOH, I deleted the other one. Will have to roll with this one, unless you guys want to start a third one and I'll delete this one

I can't believe it. The line-up produced so Wash left it alone. I'm glad Choice is back out there.

@JeffWilson_FWST: Derek Holland says he will have another test on his left knee Monday and hopes to go on rehab after that. #Rangers

Need some good news on this front

This from Buster Olney:

• Teams can now sign Kendrys Morales without surrendering a first-round pick as compensation, and the Mariners still make the most sense of any team, given their recent performance (24-15 since April 22) and need for offense.

The Rangers have money to spend, given some of the insurance money recouped because of all the injuries they've had, but they have been using the designated hitter spot to rest players such as Shin-Soo Choo.

I put a couple of things about our first 2 picks on the minor league thread earlier today in case anyone was interested.

We've offered morales, but my friend made it seem like he wasn't very confident in the $ amount. Ya never know I guess.

Rangers In The Mix For Kendrys Morales ? MLB Trade Rumors


looks like we have at $8M in insurance money for Harrison and Fielder that could be used

This from Chris Crawford of ESPN:

30. Texas Rangers: Luis Ortiz | RHP, Sanger (Calif.) HS

The only reason Ortiz was still on the board because of his injuries. When he's healthy, only Holmes and Aiken have better pure stuff than he does. He can touch 97 mph with his fastball, and he has underrated feel for pitching. His delivery is somewhat similar to that of Josh Beckett, and he's got similar stuff to a younger, skinnier version of Freddy Garcia. I think the Rangers just got their best pitching prospect with the 30th pick, and he could be in the Texas rotation by late 2016.

Looking forward to seeing Murph...he deserves a big hand from the crowd..

Man, we could really use the pre-2013 Murph in this team...really miss his production. Will always be one of my favorite Rangers...

Don't be disappointed if we hear if he needs some additional time to rehab...this is a slow healer...

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Derek!!

Good to see Moreland giving ole Murphy a hug and he chating with Beltre.
