Though, when I did my first-half MVP ballot, I don’t think I even had him in the top five.

I don’t see putting him in elite company as a stretch, though. And that was almost two weeks ago, for all know he could have improved his production since then.

Cat = a failing prospect out of options but with potential….much like Nelson Cruz is what we are look at.
Hank= he is a tough one….I am guessing a decent A prospect.
Eddie= bullpen help is always needed…he could land a solid prospect (much like Max)
Bradley= nobody will give a bluechip prospect for him. At best we are looking at one so-so prospect and then young kid with potential (think Gabbard and Beltre)
Padilla= probably one starter thats a solid prospect (matt Harrison)
Cruz = a player in his same situation or a lower level so so prospect.
Byrd = same as Cat.

Given that….

If texas could get a Matt harrison for Padilla I would be willing to move him. I probably would hang on to Bradley and try to re-sign him. Everyone else I have no problem dealing.

at the end of spring training…

Once nobody claimed him off waviers, the only way he was getting here was a series of injuries. Now he might as well stay in AAA till the deadline so that maybe we can sweeten a deal with him to get us a better prospect.

No one is going to trade you anything of any value what so ever for Nelson Cruz.

Erin Andrews.

i can’t help but to think back 1/2/3 years ago when the subject of trading blalock inevitably came up and i was always opposed. now we have an oft-injured guy that has contributed very little the last few years, and we will get nothing in return (especially relative to what we could have received).

went from a 1-2 count to a walk.

Mr. Obvious states that the Palestinians and Israelis will never like each other without both sides learning to accept the differences of each other and stop blowing each other up.

...and here we are, four games over, with the worst ERA in the majors… 7.5 games back, but in the playoff hunt nonetheless…

that’s just ridiculous.

there is the worry that his value will drop and that the Rangers would rather get on with the future and not take playing time away from Davis

His value is never going to recover, and the team cannot afford to hold onto him, exercise an option that no other team wants to pay and then deal him. Best bet is to find someone willing to give him a chance, pick up most of his salary and get some prospect that has a chance to contribute down the line.

I’m pretty much out of patience with him too.

...talk to the Mets.

is the word that comes to mind every time I think about Millwood. I am weary of his suckfest.

I’ve also reached that conclusion. Especially with his last 3 or 4 starts. I’m just sick and tired of him not getting his shit together.

At the beginning of the year he looked as if he cared and was pissed when he gave up 1 run. Now he goes out there looking like he is half-assing it, and could give a shit less if he gives up 4 or 5 runs. I’m tired of Millwood.

Yes, yes, yes. He still young and confident. OBP??? Yeah, you know me.

Yep, I’m for trading both. As we’ve seen, AB’s and Innings for the kiddos allows us to find new blood. Who cares what we get for them? As long as we don’t pay their salaries elsewhere, I’m in.

I’d rather spend the next couple months wishing we had another good arm in the bullpen then spend the next couple of years wondering what we could have gotten for the future for Guardado.
