Teagarden has gunned out two basestealers and walked...
...in the Futures Game. He’s the only Rangers guy I’ve seen.

Here's the question, though.
Obviously, we have four “plus” catchers: Laird, Teagarden, Salty and MaxRam.
I think MaxRam projects best as a DH. The question now is, who do you hitch your wagons to?

Has Texas won more games than Boston, LA, and most everyone else in baseball since April 24? Mmm hmmm. That’s why they still have a chance. Does their pitching overall suck nuts? Sigh, unfortunately yes, but they are getting McCarthy back and the young guys have shown some flashes. I don’t think you can dismiss them right now as done for the year.
I’ll stop speaking now before you tell me they don’t have a chance next year either.

Ian's a sabermetric hero, too, Josh.
Or I guess Rob.
Most people who spend their time looking at sabermetrics also belive Kinsler is more valuable because his position is hard to play and thus his offense is even harder to replace.

From ESPN:
AL MVP of the half year: Ian Kinsler, Rangers
Ian Kinsler
AP Photo/Gail Burton
If you’re one of those folks who hasn’t paid much attention to Ian Kinsler - which at least puts you in a group that includes just about everyone in America except Mrs. Kinsler - it would probably come as a shock to hear he’s even the MVP of his own team. But while Josh Hamilton is a more charismatic story and Milton Bradley’s 1.033 OPS makes him a sabermetric hero, it’s Kinsler who has really been the centerpiece of one of the best offenses in baseball.
You’ll undoubtedly be stunned to learn that Kinsler leads the league in batting, hits, runs, total bases, extra-base hits and multihit games. He’s in the top five in the league in nine major offensive categories. He has stolen 23 bases in 24 tries (with the only caught stealing on a pickoff). He’s hitting .397 with men in scoring position. Only three of his 14 homers have been hit in that Texas home run paradise. He has run off separate hitting streaks of 23 and 19 games just since mid-May. And he has reached base in every game but one since May 16.
The only arguments against him come down to defense (16 errors) and the fact that his team hasn’t been closer to first place than six games since June 1. But the Rangers actually have more wins since April 24 (42) than the White Sox (41), Angels (41) and Red Sox (40). So every number on Kinsler’s stat sheet is relevant to his club’s revival. And that’s good enough for us.
Apologies to: Hamilton, Bradley, Alex Rodriguez, Carlos Quentin, Kevin Youkilis, Joe Mauer, J.D. Drew.

I love how Kinsler and Bradley could both break their legs tomorrow.
And they’d still both have career years.
Pre season I ranked Kinsler as a top 5 first baseman, based on a combination of past season and expectations. I was one of the only people to do so.

I stopped watching wrestling when I was 12 years old and I saw a match where they buried the Undertaker alive and his manager was all creepy and upset and I thought it was the stupidest thing I had ever seen. I had taken the red pill on wrestling and never looked back. But boy did I hate Rick Flair when I did give a damn.
It probably doesn’t hurt my hatred that I met the man in a casino in Shreveport, Louisiana and he spilled his jack and coke on me.
Now when I see him associated with the Rangers I get sad.
