I know some of y'all have seen them, but they've gotten better and better. If nothing else check out his rediculous OBP, you gotta love it. Just thought id throw out some more prospect related fodder for the community to drool over...

Bring up Matt West '09

Only 1 HR

What a bum! :)

What are the odds of him starting 2009 in Frisco?

Nolan Ryan should be the Rangers president, GM, manager and pitching coach.

by RangerMad on Nov 18, 2008 9:10 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

i hope he does

i definitely think he can more than handle it. Alot of those pitchers he’s hitting against were either in Double AA or will be Double AA next year

Better question:

What are the odds of him being in Arlington next year? I know the 40 trumps all and such but we could be having the Davis-Smoak question come up a lot sooner than we expected….

Zero

Unless several players go on the DL.

i wouldn't say zero

i have a feeling he will hold his own, at least, in Frisco. If he puts up numbers similar to what Teixeira did in Tulsa in ’02, then he could get a September call up, depending on the 40 situation, to see if we can count on him in 2010.

by clark on Nov 18, 2008 11:04 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

Yeah i would say zero

is rather bold however it may not be great. Ill go out on a limb and say he is a lock to make the opening day 2010 roster from what I saw of his swing in college when i got to see him. Book it…

I captured a tiny lizard that was hiding next to my bed yesterday.

I put it in a can of eucalyptus leaves and put it under observation.

The situation is under control.

Did someone change the spelling of ridiculous?
I could not stand it, and had to comment.

trza is correct you cannot be ridiculous until you are diculous first.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia is Back...

Jarrod Saltalamacchia, who ended the 2008 season with an injury, is playing in the Dominican Winter League for the Leones del Escogido. Saltalamacchia played his first game on November 17th as the Designated Hitter, going for 0-for-3 with a walk.

I used to believe that violence never solved any problem. That was unitl I got acquitted of murdering my pregnant mistress.

good

now the Bosox can see that he’s healthy and we can really start talking trade

by blalock84 on Nov 18, 2008 11:46 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

yeah

They wouldn’t want to deal one of their young arms unless they were confident he was back. Not that I think anybody was under the impression his injury was career-stunting, but it probably does help to see him on the field.

geez, so we're going to have to watch our salty comments around you too?

we know what salty meant. it’s even ok for him to say he would like playing for the sox if given the opportunity. Most here probably wouldn’t mind it either if we got the right return.

My reply was to chrisR. Making comments like that is how sh_t gets started. Not everyone visiting this site knows what he meant.

arias also debuted yesterday

i had forgotten how high of a batting avg he had, and how many ML ABs he got this past year.

how did he look

behind the plate? is he fully recovered from his injuries?

by clark on Nov 19, 2008 11:11 AM CST up reply actions 0 recs

He is

fully recovered and looks good. IIRC he caught 9 different pitchers last night. Crazy.

Nice, nice, nice!

Thanks for the update. Whether he stays or goes, I truly do wish him success.
