So the lack of offense has been blamed on injuries
and I agree that is certainly contributing. But with that in mind, would it hurt to shuffle the lineup a little bit? Like maybe moving Kinsler into the three hole, Young to the five and maybe either Byrd or Cat into the leadoff spot?
Just a thought.

with out paying attention
to righty/lefty if i had to redo a lineup i’d probably go something like this:

R. Vazquez 3b 320
M. Young ss.287
J. Hamilton dh .300
C. Davis 1b .283
M. Byrd cf .272
J. Saltalamacchia c .235

Not a terrible idea
But I wouldn’t advocate moving Kinsler out of the spot he’s done so well in. I think it’s a better idea to move people who are struggling around, not those that are doing well, especially in such a difficult spot as leadoff.

Ugh...
Not a pretty lineup at all. At least Salty and Davis are hitting a spot higher.
So I assume Boggs’ shoulder still hurts and he is day-to-day. Or is it more serious than that?

Yeah
I’m sure Bradley isn’t playing because he’s a wimp, not because he’s actually hurt. Because there’s nothing in his history that suggests he has a history of injury problems.

Now it makes sense:
OF Brandon Boggs is not playing today. HIs right shoulder is still sore from a head-first slide he made into second base on Thursday. He was supposed to play left field last night, but manager Ron Washington moved him to DH at the last minute. Boggs’ absence puts OF Jason Ellison in right field.

So when everybody saw the first episode of Hard Knocks
Did the Rangers season start its final death knell like it did for me?
Because that Hard Knocks got me pumped up.

Ellison
He of the .301 career on base percenteage. Can anybody think of a good reason he got the call instead of Nellie Cruz?
by sggut95 on Aug 9, 2008 6:05 PM CDT 0 recs
I imagine
Nellie Cruz being on the DL had something to do with it.

Why?
Whoever gets called up is likely just sitting on the bench and playing once a week, if that. What’s the point of calling JMJ up if that’s all you are going to do?
Particularly given that Ellison is someone who can be removed from the 40 man roster once his time up here is over, so you’ve got some more flexibility.
