From BA's Dailly Dish segements

PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE

Prospect Nuggets

In his fourth game back since missing three weeks with a hip flexor, Oklahoma C Max Ramirez (Rangers) went 2-for-6 with a home run (two) and two RBIs . . . Oklahoma RHP Tommy Hunter (Rangers) tossed 6 2/3 shutout innings at Round Rock. He allowed four hits while striking out five and walking four.

TEXAS LEAGUE

It’s getting repetitive to say, but Frisco shortstop Elvis Andrus is tearing up the TL in the second half. Yesterday Andrus went 2-for-4, drew a walk and stole a base, his 51st of the year. At least we can start writing something new about Andrus: he turned 20 today …

California League

Bakersfield first baseman Ian Gac was 1-for-3 and went deep for the 12th time in the Cal League.

Midwest League

Clinton (Rangers) center fielder Engel Beltre went 3-for-5 with a double in an 11-6 win over Peoria (Cubs) …

Short Season

Prospect Of The Day

Seventeen-year-old lefthander Martin Perez (Rangers) finally won his first game in short-season ball. Perez went five shutout innings, holding Tri-City to four hits and two walks. He struck out four. Add his name to the deep list of quality pitching prospects on that Spokane team

A lot of mentions for the Rangers organization with only the Rookie league team having no representatives

Salty is actually

hitting .320 his last 10. Seems like they are out on him though. Granted he has underwhelmed me up to this point, but I don’t see why they can’t run him out there at least 2-3 times a week.

Although in retrospect I’m happy with where I am now…I had the test scores to get into an Ivy League school, or Stanford (which was where I really wanted to go), but couldn’t even get into Rice (I got wait-listed there) because of my GPA.

Then, as an undergrad, I was a big screw-up and got crappy grades, which limited my law school choices.

Here’s a link.Things have been like this for a long time," McRae said later after regaining his composure. "It’s changing gradually. But I know how things are, so I can accept them. … It’s too bad things like that have to happen in 1976.. …

"If the shoe was on the other foot, I’m sure they wouldn’t let the ball drop for me. I know what happened, but I don’t think everybody else is going to find out."

McRae, surrounded by a huge gathering of reporters, said repeatedly that he didn’t want to get specific because "it wouldn’t do any good."

Many of Kansas City’s other black players also were resentful over the home-run play but refused public comment.

"I don’t think he lost it in the sun. You can say that," said Dave Nelson seated next to Amos Otis, who expressed similar skepticism.

Semi-funny story from yesterday I forgot to include in my recap

My brother and I were standing near the Rangers’ dugout along with about a dozen other people, trying to get players’ attention. I heard a guy behind me yell out, “88! 88! Can I get your autograph?” I looked around to see who 88 was. It was a “BB” not an “88.” So, he wanted the bat boy’s autograph. Awesome. Although the bat boy did look a little like Max Ramirez.

I turned around to see if the guy was serious.

Unfortunately he was. And I couldn’t stop my laughter. And I didn’t feel like correcting him. If he wants to be an idiot, go ahead. And I was already annoyed at the “Scott Feldman sucks” girl next to me who was bragging about the mix CDs she made for Kinsler and Hamilton.

Annoying "Scott Feldman sucks" girl and her boyfriend were Twins fans

They were excited to have Eddie back.

For the record, she was decked out in a hat and a Hamilton jersey, but she was only a half-hearted Rangers fan (she saw Nelson Cruz and asked if he was a pitcher….as he was taking batting practice.)

I will add this about Kauffman

They have some of the funniest between-inning entertainment I’ve seen. They did a “jaywalking” like segment with a guy asking people around the stadium basic questions they should know. But they didn’t. They also do a “diamond talk” game where they throw out an obscure baseball term and have a fan try to decide what it means. Last night’s term was “frozen rope.”

To me, it is the anti-Turner Field.

Turner Field is a carnival. It’s not a ballpark. It’s a total disgrace to the game.

The K is a minimalist approach to baseball, which I adore. No frills. No crazy special sections for kids. Just freakin’ baseball. The closest thing to frills are the fountains, which just add a touch of class. I love it.

He’s the only big time free agent pitcher out there this offseason (Sheets doesn’t really qualify).

There are a bunch of teams out there who want a front-line pitcher and have money to spend.

Unless Texas wants to go, say, 7 years, $160 million, I don’t think they are in the hunt for him.

There's why he has no legitimate trade value:

He’s a veteran… he shouldn’t have to be putting things together, particularly with his tenure in the majors.

He’s finally healthy… because he has been everything but for the majority of the past two seasons.

Joaquin Arias

It’s good to have the type of player that always rakes against the Rangers actually on the good side….If i were an opposing manager, he would drive nuts.

also reminds me of alexei ramirez

There is no one automatic in the bullpen

and it has been wiped out this year. Even before that happened, I still take the risk that he loses the game. 93 pitches, pitching good throughout the game, a couple of bloop shots hurt him there but he was still the same as he was throughout most of the game.

yeah a .372 BABIP this year and a .348 last year

Heres another idea of how bad Millwoods luck has been the last few years.
Millwood had a 67% Left on Base % last year

Yeah a crazy 67% LOB% for Millwood last year…. Or more better said, 33% of the time last season an inherited runner scored for Millwood.

his Fielding independent ERA this year is a 4.30, last year a 4.55

I try not to get into the numbers for guys cause most people get angry when people use #’s to explain luck, but Millwood is the anti-Gallaraga

Meh...

“he’s pitched well all year”. Look at his WHIP. No one is that unlucky.

He really hasn’t pitched that well with the exception of 4 or 5 starts including the last 2.

I'd take Cole Hamles all day,

any day. he actually strikes batters out, and he’s a lefty. and he has a 1.04 WHIP. did you really say that Millwood’s numbers are better than Hamels? I’m confused…

Here's the link

Milwood strikes out more, walks less, and surrenders less home runs. What more is there to say?
Note: My mistake; It’s Floyd, not Hamels.
