A few transcriptions

As close as I could get:

- talking about how things had changed on the team, and mentioning a few dates -

July 07-implying Teix

“Some of these dudes where just straight up not good for chemistry.

Alomar was amazing. (he named many other players, this one stood out to me)

Big name guys were not interested in being part of a team…just their bank account.”

Dec 06-implying Buck. Said that rooks were not allowed to be happy/celebrate/have personality. CJ says young guys have alot more confidence now.

I hope this shit doesn’t come back and bite him. BaD Radio may have a transcript posted over the weekend. That should be a laugh riot.

Yeah

he really made it clear that Teix and Buck didn’t make it easy for other players.

Teixiera is a douche, glad he’s gone.

weird...

...Buck wasn’t the first person I thought of when I heard “Winter ‘06”...

i thought of Carlos Lee and Adam Eaton.

listening to that interview...

...makes me proud to be a Rangers fan.

i know i knock our boys every now and then… but, i can honestly say that this is the most excited i’ve been about a Rangers team in a very long time…

the chemistry that Ceej talked about… it really does make me believe in this team.

people talk about wins and loses… i don’t think you can measure a team’s chemistry… you’ll never find it in a stat-sheet…

but… there it is in the standings… take the Rays for example… a group of young guys who have played alongside one another for a couple of years now… gotten to know one another… survived the bad times… and they’re right on top…

and then look at the Mariners…

i’d like to hear Ichiro’s take on the different teams he’s played for…

Right there with 'ya

broseph!

Agreed

He was mentioning how some people on here and newbergs boards say to dfa this guy, or why’s that guy on the team. Well some of those guys are important role players. Such as byrd and vazquez

this years team seems to have much better chemistry than i can remember in recent years

i'm just a kid when i say this...

...but, i hope they don’t trade anybody.

by oc on Jul 3, 2008 6:39 PM CDT up 0 recs

i hope they can make a run with this same core of players...

...Marlon…Cat…Milton…Salty…Milly…Vinny…

i guess these are the guys that get talked about most when it comes to trades…

but, these guys need each other if we’re gonna keep it interesting.

favorite part:

on Milton…

“people in Anaheim were booing the crap out of him… but he feeds off that… he just waves at them… he took his cap off and gave them a bow.”

by oc on Jul 3, 2008 6:44 PM CDT 0 recs

yeah

that’s pretty funny.

also liked how he was talking about him and hamilton just chillin playing xbox on the road. I figured those two would gravitate to eachother since they live a clean lifestyle

Wilson

Wilson lauded the arrivals of players such as Milton Bradley and Eddie Guardado for their influence in the clubhouse. But he also said there were key players on last year’s team who were more interested in money than in winning baseball games. He also said an unnamed key veteran was "mean" to younger players.

"I can’t even begin to tell you how much better it is now than it was two years ago," Wilson told KTCK’s Bob Sturm. "And the most obvious thing I can say is, you look at the roster, the guys that we have now versus the guys that we had then."

...While Wilson didn’t name any departures directly, he told Sturm a "dark cloud" was lifted from the club last July. He also said a "big" and "medium-sized" cloud disappeared after the 2006 season.

The Rangers traded Eric Gagne, Kenny Lofton and Mark Teixeira in the final week of July 2007. Wilson cited Gagne as an excellent teammate but made no mention of the other two players.

"They weren’t interested in being part of a team," Wilson said of the unnamed players. "They were just interested in bank accounts."
