Series Thread: There's no place like home: Rangers host A's 7/25-7/27

Must C: Beltre leads comeback
In case you missed it and Nadel with the walk off call

 

[Kelleyman]

I just don't see them sticking choo at DH when he comes back.

Perhaps a platoon and Rua loses ABs. But I think Choo gets most of RF with some DH against LHP. Maybe Profar sits then or Mitch

So trade deadline is approaching soon, do any deals get done? If so what would you prefer to see the Rangers add and at what cost?

I still think we get a starting pitcher.

That's my hope or at the very least a good long reliever which is still probably a starter in our current rotation. With them calling up Gallo, do you think it makes it less likely for him to be used in a trade (doesn't this use an option on him)?

I think we get a starting pitcher along the lines of Volquez or Cashier and a relief pitcher to help out in the 6th and 7th innings. Probably neither would be very costly.

We already used an option on him this year and only one is used per year no matter how many different times they come up.

I'd take Voquez, certainly wouldn't require the package Sale would and has $10M option for next year. Not really sure if he is an upgrade over what we would get back in Cobra or Holland though. Probably a step up from Holland I guess.

 

[TheRangerDude]

Does Holland have any trade value? Wonder if Profar/Gallo, Holland, and some mid-to low level prospects could bring Sale? Probably not and really, as much as I like em' I would rather part with Rougy over Profar.

Just stop....

Just stop....

LOL, OK

 

[Kelleyman]

Heard Gallo callup still does not lose us one year of eligibility

 

[DT LUNA]

RAIN DELAY

My main thing with Volquez is Houston torched him.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Probably not. Unless Andrus has been traded.

Anything involving Andrus would cause the clubhouse to be off limits. Not saying anything is happening but if it was they would have to speak privately to the entire tean.

From what I read, that's what was happening (clubhouse was closed).

Seems like something else might be up.

For sure, some valid concern there IMO ... I'm supposed to stop though.

Heard Cashner is close to being dealt. Hopefully not here.

He started tonight. Can't imagine someine that would require a private team meeting being dealt for cashner. Plus, I don't want him. Ross, yes please.
