Talking about the NY Post & Nolan Ryan

Hindman allows for the possibility of a difference of opinion. Ryan is in charge of business operations so wants to fill seats while JD wants to build strong franchise for next 5-10 years. Says if opportunity comes along to trade Milton for a near quality ACE, it will set us up for next 4-5 years. Ace Quality starter is missing from our franchise for the next 2 years.

Summary

Talking Nolan vs JD a la the Post story…

MJH mentions Nolan’s task is to put butts in seats, ie the “business side.”

JD is prob thinking deal Bradley to get a significant young pitcher, an ace if possible, “that’s what’s missing.” Two months’ consequences be damned. (Hear hear.)

Now talking about intangibles/clubhouse role of Bradley, Jamey chiming in.

Go Strangers.

by hightowersmith on Jul 16, 2008 5:02 PM CDT up 0 recs

Jamey says

clubhouse reaction is a factor JD needs to think about when making trades…Example: Gagne was a glue piece for CJ Wilson. Saying the same thing about Milton (trade him now and bring him back in the winter)

Hindman says we are 3-4 pitching pieces

away from being seriously competitive this year…and if we wanted to do that would have to sell off the farm and that’s going against the JD plan.

Our bullpen is insanely overworked now and will be overstretched even further as the season goes along so very hard for offensive lineup to overcome.

Calero

has looked pretty good so far in AAA and has a solid track record. he could be a solid piece, right there.

by clark on Jul 16, 2008 5:07 PM CDT up 0 recs

Jamey

talking about getting a guy like Greinke instead of Sabathia via trade. Compares situation of potentially getting Greinke to getting Hamilton.

I have to wonder why KC would want to trade Greinke though

trade him for multiple quality prospects I suppose.

I could see them making a deal

for a basket of high level prospects. Their team is so devoid of talent they probably should consider something along those lines. Davis or MaxRam/Andrus/Mayberry/Harrison? All four of those guys could probably start for KC right now… May not be enough, but I’d do that…

by JBImaknee on Jul 16, 2008 5:25 PM CDT up 0 recs

Yeah I think it would be a package

probably has to include Max Ram or Davis and one or two other quality prospects (one would have to be one of our top young pitchers)

Commercial break...

when they come back will discuss what the Rangers are going to do with Blalock/Davis.

call me stupid but...

if people are reading your summary it stands to reason the are already listening online…I’m just sayin’

by Goyogringo on Jul 16, 2008 5:18 PM CDT 0 recs

Why?

People could be at work and can’t listen to it but want the summaries. Isn’t that plausible?

...reading the summaries because my company has blocked the ticket website.

hey stupid

this post remains online after the interview is over. I just saw it, missed the interview entirely.
but instead of asking what was said, Its pre-sumarized for me.

(just joking about the stupid part)

the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is

by DSheppard on Jul 16, 2008 5:22 PM CDT up 0 recs

You're stupid

Kidding.

I’m on location and I have no headphones on hand, making discreet listening at work quite difficult.

by LiamP on Jul 16, 2008 5:22 PM CDT up 0 recs

I'm reading the summaries

and I don’t care to listen.

Thanks, though.

Jamey thinks

Davis will be sent down and Blalock will play 1B everyday and show he is healthy…this will increase his trade value and the Rangers will move Blalock and bring Davis back up.

Hindman thinks that

Blalock can’t throw right now. Otherwise why wouldn’t they tell Ramon to sit for two weeks while they sport Blalock at 3B…He says this because no contending teams need a 1B but the Twins need a 3B desperately (running out Mike Lamb and his .213 BA right now)

Now they're talking about how incredible

the Tex trade was. Perfect timing because their GM was just rolling the dice trying to win then with getting Tex.

Asking if the Rangers could get

Phil Hughes for Milton Bradley and Milly. (HAHAHAHHA).

the Rangers can be buyers and sellers as the same time (whatever that really means)

I think they were trying to say

if you can get a top prospect pitcher like Hughes, you have to trade Bradley right?

Now they are "getting the audience excited"

by talking about Feliz and Andrus.

but introducing people to them.

prompted me to check andrus's stats

.897 ops in july, nice.

Each month

Higher OPS than the last this year…

Hindman:

Projects Andrus to be ready opening day 2010. Jamey says that eventually MY moves to 3B…Natural fit, just slides over when Andrus comes up.

Hindman:

If JD looks for a young pitcher entering his prime, the other team will probably be asking for Andrus. Good thing for JD is that we have more depth at SS..mentions Marcus Lemon.

not Andrus

Lemon, Vallejo, Osuna, Whittleman, JMJ, a catcher, and of course low level pitchers. Plenty of prospects to deal this off season for a #1 SP.

said that, not me…he said teams will ask for Andrus.

misunderstood

I misunderstood what was said. They can ask for Andrus but he and Feliz are untouchable. I would accept a trade of anyone else if it brought back a true #1 SP.

If you were trading a true #1 to the Texas Rangers

wouldn’t you ask for Andrus?

Same here

But I am going to catch one of these Frisco games when he’s starting.

Plaschke: Scioscia, the former Dodgers catcher, is the model manager who has created an atmosphere of winning.
Junior:It's that simple. Mike Scioscia brings a Glade Plug-In labeled "Winning™" into the clubhouse and everyone who breathes it in gains 15 points in average.
