Per Galloway Botts is DH tonight

by Taylor on Aug 1, 2007 3:38 PM CDT

Assuming Sammy grabs a seat, Salty plays at first and Gabbard is inserted into the rotation. If we're lucky he'll have the same kind of production that Cruz is giving us.

So far this is turning out to be a great week!

300 character filler...CJ can make money on the side buying smokes for Beltre, Hilary Duff sucks

Botts-Salty-Cruz in the lineup

is something i greatly anticipate.

sure, they could all three suck. but its something I want to see for myself.

by DShep on Aug 1, 2007 3:31 PM CDT reply actions

agreed....

its going to be lots of fun watching these three for the rest of the year

Great news!

I hope we see a lot of Byrd in CF and Botts in the lineup the rest of the year.

Dan with a happy note

maybe it's the Santana pipe dream but today must be a good day in Rangerland to see Dan break out an exclamation point that wasn't used in sarcasm.

And, my friends, it truly is a good day.

Yeh...

Agree. Completely.

Does anyone

have an up to date 25 man roster?

by DJCahill on Aug 1, 2007 3:36 PM CDT reply actions

Hrm.. per Galloway??

..we should probably wait to see the official lineup. ;)

by mattrpav on Aug 1, 2007 3:37 PM CDT reply actions

Exactly...

what I was thinking. How does Randy know before Grant, etc.

i have a question about murphy?

i know we werent impressed with him, but he seems to be a way better looking prospect then say brandon boggs and we all love us some boggs on this site, so doesnt murphy have to get a shot sometime this year in either CF or LF?

by weslyenkid01 on Aug 1, 2007 3:37 PM CDT reply actions

Murphy

Why is he way better looking than Boggs?

by Adam J. Morris on Aug 1, 2007 3:41 PM CDT up reply actions

Why?

Because weslyenkid01 likes him some white man meat.

by tlt29 on Aug 1, 2007 3:46 PM CDT up reply actions

i could be wrong

isnt murphy younger than boggs and in triple-a putting up pretty much the same numbers as boggs in double-a...hes already had some major league AB's and more of a safe bet to be better than boggs

by weslyenkid01 on Aug 1, 2007 3:52 PM CDT up reply actions

Murphy

He's a year and a half older.

by Adam J. Morris on Aug 1, 2007 3:54 PM CDT up reply actions

no kidding

well then i could be def wrong...do you guys think boggs is better than murphy?

by weslyenkid01 on Aug 1, 2007 4:02 PM CDT up reply actions

I think so

but not everyone does I guess. Boggs looks to be at least a good 4th outfielder right now, and possibly a decent starter. Murphy is likely to be a good option for 4th outfielder for a few years, so he has some value.

by t ball on Aug 1, 2007 4:34 PM CDT up reply actions

when did heget called up

botts that is

by M_Y_isDANK on Aug 1, 2007 3:38 PM CDT reply actions

Nice

Something definetely to look forward to down the stretch is CJ at closer, McCarthy and Gabbard, and our young hitters Salty, Botts, Cruz, and Murphy along with Byrd in center.

by slimshadty12 on Aug 1, 2007 3:39 PM CDT reply actions

Don't forget

Victor Diaz.

Diaz, Bryd, Bottsy, Salty and Cruz in the same line-up? Now thats what I want to see!

its christmas.

by DShep on Aug 1, 2007 3:57 PM CDT reply actions

YES

This is the most excited I've been to watch a Rangers game all year. It's kind of sad, but so what? GO BOTTS. GO SALTY. GO RANGERS.

by dieselT8 on Aug 1, 2007 3:59 PM CDT reply actions

Suckers!

Did Galloway say that Evan Grant is reporting or T.R. Sullivan is reporting that Boots has been called up? Or did Galloway pull this out of his bottle?

by RangerMad on Aug 1, 2007 4:00 PM CDT reply actions

yay!

And the LSB-ers rejoiced... Come on Bottsy, don't make us look bad.

But that river of tears has dried for all of us.

botts

i'm not getting excited until i actually see the lineup with botts at dh and sosa on the pine

I'm wondering if Galloway was incorrect

or if he said Botts was on his way up, sounded like he said Botts would be playing at DH tonight.

by Taylor on Aug 1, 2007 4:21 PM CDT up reply actions

yeah

i don't exactly trust much of what galloway says.

you mean to tell me grandpa urine doesn't know what he's talking about half the time and isn't on life support? But seriously If this isn't true i will be very dissapointed.

well even if botts isnt in

salty and cruz will be

by weslyenkid01 on Aug 1, 2007 4:03 PM CDT reply actions

Salty Botts

has an interesting ring to it.

by kwellborn on Aug 1, 2007 4:05 PM CDT reply actions

excitement

Salty, Kinsler, Young, Metcalf (Hank when back)...solid infield

Cruz, Byrd, Wilkerson/Cat, Victor Diaz...exciting potential in the outfield

BOTTS!!!

we just need a more exciting catcher if Salty's not going to do that regularly

even our starting pitching looks pretty good on paper - Millwood, McCarthy, Loe, Gabbard...ok, ok, Rheinecker

Wonder why Salty's hitting 7th? Who cares......

tomorrow will be even better, with Gabbard taking Wright's spot!

by tklawless on Aug 1, 2007 4:55 PM CDT up reply actions

Botts is in the lineup

Yes, it is about time. Now if we can get rid of JHJ and Sosa everything will be great.

by ranger1161 on Aug 1, 2007 4:48 PM CDT reply actions

I don't like

how they brought Botts up. Anyone else read TR's column this morning? They hid him in the hotel so that they could tell Sammy??? And they had Metcalf out there for BP even though they knew they were sending him down??? That's a bit disappointing to me.
