is right. The fans are assholes. By the way where are the fans this year? No one is showing up to games. I have been to two games and I live in LAS VEGAS!!!

He hasn’t played enough the last two years to qualify as a Type A or B FA.

I don’t think MJH was implying that it would take all three to get Greinke. One of the three plus some other prospects would do it.

plus any of the high ceiling young guys (Beavan, Font, etc). Not Feliz though

everyone else is available in such a trade.

If KC called you and said “Grienke for Chris Davis and Gerald Laird” – who would do it?

I think I would…

he wrote back saying this:

“I do think that the Rangers would have to part with a ton to get Greinke. A 24 year old with success like he’s experienced who is still two full seasons away from free agency is the single most expensive commodity on the baseball trade market.”

A professional athlete should never call out the fans like he did. We have the right to cheer or boo at our pleasure. He has a sense of entitlement and cannot leave this town soon enough.

but I’m on Ramon’s side on this one. He’s the better defender between him and Hank, the team’s been absolutely dominant winning percentage wise when he’s started, and despite having his mind out of the game for the past two evenings, on the base path 2 nights ago and on the field last night, he came out with 4 hits, including the make-up 2 run game winner last night, and the team went crazy with him. they still love him. I am beginning to love him even more. and even though his .320 average right now is an obvious aberration, he’s getting the job done at a very high level.

if the fans were booing him, great, it probably got him fired up and made that game winner even more sweet. if we can get something of significant value for him, fine, trade the guy. he is what he is. but if not, don’t just cut bait just to cut bait, especially with Hank out AGAIN.

I’m tired of your shtick already.

the “Decider”.

They replaced DeRosa with Vazquez and they’ll replace Vazquez with some other spare.

A professional athlete has to believe they are the best player for the job or they will not be a professional for long. They have to have an ego. I would hope that Vasquez thinks he should be playing instead of Blalock. I don’t necessarily agree. Blalock’s last two should be proof that he is still a viable big league hitter.

Again, The Stache is professional athlete and as a paid athlete the fans have a right to boo you when they don’t like what you do between the lines, in interviews or in your personal life. Most of us get yearly reviews. As a teacher I get observed by my principal and sometimes she tells me things I don’t want to hear. She has even told me negative things that I didn’t necessarily agree with. The fans can’t fill out an evaluation for the players on the team that they just paid for a ticket to watch, so when they see something they don’t like they can boo, heckle, hold up funny signs, start chants, etc. I have noticed what seems to be a growing number of people, mostly women, who think that booing and heckling is wrong. It is wrong to boo any person/athlete that is not being paid for their performance. I would not boo kids (obviously), college students or anything in between, but if they are drawing a paycheck for the performance that I am paying to watch you better believe I have a right to boo. I generally avoid booing the players on the team I am rooting for (I don’t want to act like a Yankee fan). I think silence in your home ballpark is a lot worse than booing. You better believe I boo close umpire calls that don’t go our way (even if I thought they were correct) because it is the opposite of cheering. I boo Big Bad Vlad every time he comes up because he is a beast and I want to do my part in helping the Rangers win. :) I also think it facilitates questions from the younger newer fans. Example, “Dad, why are they booing that player?” “Well son, that guy is what we call a ‘Ranger Killer’. Except he is the Ranger Killer of Ranger Killers. That guy got a base hit in the first 49 games he played against the Rangers.” Etc Etc. It serves to indoctrinate new Ranger fans. Just like the “Booooooooo-schelle” thing.

3 errors in one game, picked off at third in a one run game, and you think you shouldn’t get booed? It is not like the fans knew you would get the game winning hit. Take as motivation and move on, buddy. You just made it harder for the Rangers to trade you. I think most players would boo themselves if they had a night like that.

I have said too much.

He had a .673 ops last year and his counting numbers arnt very high. 13 HRs and 63 RBIs over a 1 and 2/3 seasons?
