Okay, since I'm going to be sans internet access tomorrow morning, I'm throwing up the game day thread tonight...

I'll be at the game tomorrow, and will post my thoughts on Newberg Report Day tomorrow evening...

Ask Daniels this...

...if they take some of your most important responsibilities away from you, would you quit or stay with the team at a much diminished role?

Yesterday

Scott Lucas put up on his web site a short article about Drese's departure.

"Ryan Drese Is Responsible For EVERYTHING"

Edison Volquez

TR Sullivan had the following note this morning. Since Adam's away, I'll post it right here. I do not think this would be a good move at all:

"Double A Frisco right-hander Edison Volquez is one of the pitchers the Rangers are considering in their second-half rotation.

They have talked about at least using him while Kenny Rogers is serving his 20-game suspension.

"I wouldn't preclude anything," Buck Showalter said.

The Rangers are still unsure about their fifth starter. Juan Dominguez is a candidate to replace C.J. Wilson, but John Wasdin or Joaquin Benoit could get a shot.

The Rangers expect Rogers to make at least one start before his appeal is heard, Volquez has to be put on the 40-man roster after the season anyway."

@ The Newberg Report

MJ Hindman adds to the TR Sullivan report:

Volquez is profiled by Baseball America's John Manuel as the top breakout candidate among players on the World Team roster in today's Futures Game which will be broadcast live on ESPN2 at 3:00

at least it looks like added info when comparing your post to MJH's post.
