oh man
this seems like a tossup. a bad pitcher vs a pitcher not really ready for the big leagues
rangers win 3-2
not really great pitching or stellar defense. just bad hitting.

NIXON: NOW MORE THAN EVER
Not really ready?
Try tomorrow night with Hunter!
"Sooner or later, prospects kill you, because you hang onto them." - Greggo, 11/22/2005
8-5
that means we see CJ….
"Sooner or later, prospects kill you, because you hang onto them." - Greggo, 11/22/2005
that means it's 1-0 heading into the bottom of the 8th
CJ is warming up, then we score seven, but they send CJ out anyway because he’s warmed up and he gives up 5 and loads the bases before a popup, and two strikeouts end the game.
;)
Lineup
2B Ian Kinsler
LF Frank Catalanotto
SS Michael Young
DH Josh Hamilton
CF Marlon Byrd
RF David Murphy
C Gerald Laird
1B Chris Davis
3B Ramon Vazquez
we have the most runs scored in baseball
how can you complain about offense
Feliz and Hurley. The 1-2 punch of the future
considering
considering that bradley’s still out, i think you cant be too upset with this lineup. good to get Josh some rest before the Toronto series.
Seattle lineup
RF Ichiro
SS Bloomquist
LF Ibanez
DH Beltre
2B Lopez
3B Cairo
1B Lahair
C Burke
CF Reed
Wow. That’s not very good.

I'm tired of bradley being bangedup.
Dont get me wrong i appreciate his great season but i would not resign him. I would take the draft picks and let max take the dh spot.
agreed
and remember…..this is the healthiest Bradley’s ever been. In no way do I see him as a dependable part of our future. Say no to Bradley ‘09
It's easy to lie with stats, it's even easier to lie without them......
by red shoe ranger on Jul 31, 2008 6:30 PM CDT up reply actions
He's on pace for about 460 AB's
You wouldn’t pay him to hit like this for 400 or so AB’s? I mean the alternative is likely more Byrd…
I'm undefeated in fights. Have I been in any? No. Thats because people know my f'ing status. Don't mess with the elite. - Miles

There's room for both on the team no doubt
I doubt max can put up a .320/.444/.592/1.036 line in 300 or so AB’s next year…

well look how many times gameboard is out
there will be plenty of opps to rest Hamilton as the DH (like tonight) or whomever. That would mean Byrd in the OF.

I'd rather see Nelson Cruz
After what he’s done in the PCL… It couldn’t hurt. Byrd certainly isn’t a part of this team’s future.
How about a lineup next year of:
Kinsler
MY
Max
Hamilton
Cruz
Davis
Murphy
Laird/Salty/Teagarden
Vazquez
Wow
A rookie hitting #3, a career ML flop hitting 5 surrounding Hamilton. He will be lucky to get any pitches to hit at all
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Was just trying to make it R,L,R,L
If Cruz and Max are able to produce like their minor league numbers suggest, there should be no problem with that batting order.
Cruz
When has he ever produced like his minor league numbers suggest. This isn’t the first time he has crushed minor league pitching ya know
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
He deserves one more chance at the MLB as soon as possible
We’re not trading him, so… it couldn’t hurt. Give him one more try-out. I don’t see what it is so wrong with that.
I don't disagree with that
But to pencil him in 5th and expect him to produce is a pipe dream I think. I am just basing that off his previous ML stints
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
I'm just saying it's a possiblity
I’d rather not re-sign Milton since he’s more likely to be a Type A free agent this year than next year.
Cruz
However bad you may think he is, he is the best RH power bat in the system. And that ‘marginal’ increase on walks is significant, indicating much better plate patience. AAA pitching isn’t exactly dogmeat.

Thank you!
As his problem in the bigs was not being able to lay of off speed outside of the zone I am psyched about his increased BB%.
No
Like red shoe said, this is the healthiest he has ever been and still won’t sniff 500 ABs and he’s now on the wrong side of 30. Re-signing him would be foolish IMO.

Hopefully JD doesn't feel that

I so wish there was video

JD was doing an interview on Rangers Live just now
said that Eddie is apparently big on the clubhouse pranks. So, Wash pulled him aside at 2:58 this afternoon and told him he’d been traded to Washington.
JD said the reaction included some words that couldn’t be repeated on TV.

I think Minnesota’s gotta get Liriano back in his 2006 form to have a chance at that.

"Sooner or later, prospects kill you, because you hang onto them." - Greggo, 11/22/2005
it would have done them a world of good
to bring in a RH RF or 3B, but they’re still a good team. Especially since Dennard Span replaced Carlos Gomez
Seeing the product of his work past 4(?) seasons
he should sound depressed…because he SUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Chris Davis reminds me that I'm a woman as well as a baseball fan."
I'm confused...
Dodgers traded Laroche and Morris for 2 months of Manny and they are going to get 2 draft picks if they offer Manny arbitration and he rejects it?
"Sooner or later, prospects kill you, because you hang onto them." - Greggo, 11/22/2005
And he has said
He will reject it so there you go.
"Would you mind walking a time or two so I could drive in some runs"? Milton Bradley
So that's amazing f or the Dodgers
"Sooner or later, prospects kill you, because you hang onto them." - Greggo, 11/22/2005
i really think
it’s a deal in which no one loses. Every party gets what they want.
Except for Neil Walker, that guy can’t buy a break
I thought part of the deal was
that the Dodger had to give up the ‘09 + ‘10 club options, so he could take FA in October
thats right
and they off arbitration, he will turn it down, and that’s how they get the draft picks.
No.
No, no, no, please God no Manny.
"But the point is, [Jeff] Mathis is a bush-league uber douche." -lonestarJon
don't worry we won't sign manny
Why would we sign a guy that doesn’t try and is a cancer in the clubhouse when we could sign MB instead for much less.
"Sooner or later, prospects kill you, because you hang onto them." - Greggo, 11/22/2005
Why would we give Manny 20+ mil
a year instead of giving it to Sabathia?
"Sooner or later, prospects kill you, because you hang onto them." - Greggo, 11/22/2005
I can.
And I can imagine hating him by game three. And I can imagine Josh Hamilton wanting to, um, pray for him.
"But the point is, [Jeff] Mathis is a bush-league uber douche." -lonestarJon
OK
I thought they got those if he FA’d…of course another Boras client will cost somebody a fortune!!
tex just stole second base on a botched play by pudge
Then Torii Hunter just hit a 3-run jack
"Sooner or later, prospects kill you, because you hang onto them." - Greggo, 11/22/2005
Hate to say it...
...but the Angels are really…really…really good.
"But the point is, [Jeff] Mathis is a bush-league uber douche." -lonestarJon
We have a big 4 game series coming up vs. NYY next week
we’re going to have to split at worst.

He was wild in a rehab outing the other day, but supposedly has regained some velocity as a tradeoff. I’ll try and find the link.

His stance looks different to me since the ASB.
It seems to me like he doesn’t seem to have the same rhythm before pitches and it looks like he’s dropping his back elbow early. I haven’t look at footage before the ASB to say for sure though.
he had an ice old week after the all star break
then he had 5 consecutive multi hit games up until a couple days ago. past couple days hes just missed about 4 extra base hits…
