Your Texas Rangers are 2015 AL West Champions!

Here is a different take on it. Let's go with what got us here. Derek and Perez were not here much of the season and Colby was and quite successful I might add. So my vote for Colby is in place. The choice between Derek and Martin is the tough one. I vote for Derek because of experience. If Martin gets the nod, not bad for sure.

I feel the same way about Hamilton. Let's go with what got us here and leave that guy off the roster.

Which LF got us where we are?

 

[WilltheThrill]

For me, the starting rotation for the playoffs is a pretty easy call- Gallardo, Hamels, Holland, Lewis.

Perez might have more upside in terms of "shut-down" stuff, but he has the mental makeup of a 12 yr old. As long as things are clicking for him, he's great. But the slightest thing can rattle him and set off a complete meltdown. We saw it in Houston when Elvis botched that grounder. I can just see an error or a bad call by an ump or a few walks making him completely lose his focus and his cool. Colby is unflappable and if he were to encounter any pitfalls like those I mentioned, he would just keep battling.

The playoffs really are a different animal. That's why you see some players elevate their games, some star players tail off, and other random mediocre dudes become October legends. Colby is built for the playoffs, both physically and mentally.

DeShields

DeShields

DeShields was not our primary LF. In fact we didn't have one.

But your response was to post re: Holland and Perez and had nothing to do with LF to begin with.

I don't think most of us have an issue with Colby starting a game but Holland and I did not see anything positive on here about him. I actually think Perez is rather mature out on the mound and I really do not like Holland's stuff right now.

We have no better option. You cut your nose off to spite your face and that's stupid.

Dude has no idea what he's talking about.

Holland had a damn nice start in his last start. There's nothing wrong with his stuff. The issue was his location. Holland should and will get the start.

Deshields is the better option in LF. And he's not a scumbag.

He's the starting Cf, numb nuts. Who plays CF if you move him to LF?

My choice would be Martin, doofuss. He's much better at assists and he's not a scummy doosh.

Dude, just stop. You literally have no clue what you are talking about. Martin was sent to AAA because he couldn't hit his way out of a wet paper bag. That's the whole reason DDJ took over CF and the lead off spot to begin with. Martin hadn't been part of this team for literally months. He also happens to be coming off a wrist injury which required surgery, and he's dumb as a bag of hammers. Seriously, just accept that you're ignorant here.

Your preaching to the choir, coach, I know all about who took over what and such. Now that Martin's wrist is better, he doesn't even make the playoff roster and instead that doped out freak Hamilton gets a chance to do what we all know he'll do and that's suck in the playoffs. I'm not gonna say I told you so when it happens.

You're in luck. He'll pitch 5 or less innings tonight.

Son quit taking a crap so close to the house! You're tracking it in.

One of his strong points during his Brew Crew days was eating up innings. Haven't been keeping up with his stats that much this season - is he not giving at least 6 innings per outing?
