We have great leadership on this team from some solid veterans. You start mixing in young players, and that makes me feel excited about the next few years.”

No doubt Pedroia is a fine player. I have nothing against him, but it’d be awful if Ian didn’t start. I have to watch games on mlb.tv, so I watched tonight’s on YES.

he looks really good with his just above average performance. When I think really good, I think .347 OBP and .440 SLG. He was really good last year when he is a rookie, but instead he has taken a step back this year as a second year player.

Yeah, his offense isn't that high above average.
But it is well above the expected level for a second baseman, and he adds good defense to that. I don’t think he’s taken much of a step back at all, though he hasn’t made much of a step forward, either.
He doesn’t deserve to start the All-Star game, or probably even make it (if I were assembling the roster he wouldn’t), but he is really good and I’m interested in good players.

JD trades for Sabathia. He’s done something pretty big every year he’s been GM, why should this year be any different.

yeah, i might have to rethink my stance on him
im mr. fat people now. him being nasty, k’n everyone in sight helps as well. if it’s a trade and sign that would be perfect. But, let’s say we need to trade 3 top prospects and another lower tier prospect. IF we don’t resign him, we get 2 1st rounders for him and then the 2 for Bradley and we replenish our farm system fairly quickly.

that is, if a decent offer is made.

We don’t have to trade anybody.. Bradley needs to be our right fielder for the next 5 years..

2 games over 500 please.
by DSheppard on Jul 1, 2008 10:25 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
so do I
but then i …....
1) see how often he is hurt
2) see how far above his career numbers he is playing
3) see that he keeps getting banged up this year even though we are protectiing him by playing him at DH 85% of the time
4) want to make sure davis continues to get regular playing time the rest of the season, and think clearing the DH role will assist that as hank comes back (hence the hank/davis comment). and also allow more playing time for maxram if we do trade one of the catchers and he stays up.
5) know that we could really use one more high ceiling arm to help us next season (well, we could use 10) and bradley may not even be here next year regardless.
6) and that even if we do trade him, its still possible to re-sign him next year.
im not going to say you cant think we should keep him, hes been great and I like how much he cares about the game and seems like a good teammate, but there are just so many reasons to sell high I have to think we should.
2 games over 500 please.

If the Team is playing well.
And Davis is on fire, Blalock will find himself riding the pine most of time.. with the Cat being traded.
I know the risks, but Milton fits here, this is his home. He needs to be a Texas Ranger. We can afford the risk.

Are you sure?
All I’ve ever heard on Broussard was that Wash kept talking him up and saying how this guy was going to be his special player and he was going to be great. I thought he would be a nice stop-gap, but it looks like Wash was expecting greatness from Broussard. I don’t remember reading anything about Wash saying the same about Bradley and again, Bradley’s main question has always been health and not talent. Even without Wash here, there is a good chance JD strongly considers Bradley as a good buy-low candidate ala Gagne and Lofton.

just say the Rangers went a game over .500 through the first 27 games instead of .333 at 9-18, and that would be 14-13 in that span. That’d put the Rangers at 49-36 right now which would put them 1 game back of the Angels who are 49-34 right now.

Good point brought up by a caller on the radio post game show
If the Rangers sweep the Yanks tomorrow, the national media is going to be saying, “What’s wrong with the Yankees?” instead of saying “Look at what the Rangers are starting to do”. The Rangers will not get any mention of having great young talent and help take a .500 team into a 4 games over .500 team. Instead, we’ll here about the cellar dwelling Ranges were able to sweep the unstoppable Yankees who have a basically identical record. It doesn’t really effect the team much, but I really hate ESPN and the national media when it comes to even looking at any positives the Rangers have.

I heard that too and agree...
then again I’m used to it as a TCU student and athletic supporter.
When the TCU football team goes to Norman and beats OU, the press immediately says OU is in a rebuilding year, or some such, not that TCU went in there and dominated. Same with any number of other games TCU has played since being a student there in 2003. It’s always “What’s wrong with such and such team” or “Such and such just had an off night tonight” instead of “TCU played a great game and were the better team”
Much the same as we have seen with the Rangers over and over.

...too much. Keep playing and winning and they’ll change their tune. Their playoff woes aside, they said the same thing about the Mavericks when they transitioned to a consistent winning team. We can only hope the Rangers make the same sort of long-term transition, but with postseason success. Remember, making the playoffs in baseball is like skipping round 1. If only the Mavs had that luxury the last two years…

even if it doesn’t improve our standings positions much, Angels/A’s splitting or A’s going 2-1 is probably for the best. Helps on gaining on both teams if we’re winning and they’re trading punches.
