Question
What would you do about the catching situation next year?
by Adam J. Morris on Sep 6, 2008 7:46 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well, a lot of course depends on how Salty recovers
And how Tea hits this month. But assuming Laird is gone, and everyone is healthy, I would like to see Max as the DH, and either Salty or Teagarden (whichever one wins the job out of ST) going full time at the start of the year.

The other one stats in AAA
I’m not really all that keen on trading any of our young catchers until the deadline next year really. Each one has something to prove, and each one could be the starter of the future. I think trading one just to trade one would be akin to trading AGon myself.

Really?
Because it wasn’t all that bad when it happened last year.
All-D, no hit catchers are vastly overrated IMO – if you’ve got big bats that can catch, I don’t see why you wouldn’t want to get that extra sock into the order. Unless of course you think both Salty and Max are busts, which of course I don’t think will happen.

Bats
Even with Saltys recent hot streak he still hasn’t shown me enough to think he is as good an offensive threat as he is made out to be. Max either. I think Max needs at least another couple months possibly a full year in AAA before coming up for good to the bigs.

Well, the same can be said about Teagarden
Irregardless, we’ve got to give at least one of these guys a real chance in the majors next year, without the distraction of Laird and his whining. Even if they flop, I think that’s better than trading one just to trade one, only to find out we traded the best of the three.

Well, maybe if there was some kind of an at-bats clause built into it that activated the second year I’d go for that.
My guess is the Rangers will probably bring him back anyway though, so it really doesn’t matter what I would or wouldn’t do.

Well, that would make it a 3-way battle for the catchers positon
In that scenario, I guess I would go with Max or Salty as your A or B catcher (to catch 4-5 times a week) with the other one going to AAA, and have Teagarden as a backup whp catches 2-3 times a week.

If Salty hadn't have gotten injured
The way he was playing in the second half would have made him the favorite for the job next year IMO. But the injury means he’ll basically have to come back next year and prove he’s healthy before he wins anything.

the role is teagarden’s to lose right now.
by FirebatM3 on Sep 6, 2008 8:34 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
It will be if he hits this Sept.
Which is why I want to see him play as much as possible this month.
But if he doesn’t hit, and one (or both) of Max and Salty perform as expected next spring, I don’t see how they can justify starting him over the other two.

Why couldnt that get out
Hammy needs about 8 homeruns to have a shot at the mvp.

Nelson Cruz
I think part of the reason the Rangers haven’t been that interested in getting more of a look at him is that they view Hamilton is their everyday RF by the beginning of 2010, at the latest, anyway.

Wouldn’t be terrible really. It becomes a question of how much you like Murphy/Boggs and how much you can get back for Cruz.

I was making a post on a fantasy board about cruz a few minutes ago
and said the same thing with the corners being crowded once you consider hamilton probably moving to right…
but as for it being why cruz hasnt been getting a look.. personally I think wash just straight up doesn’t like him and prevented his callup while the rangers were still in “contention”. A hunch.

That really isn't the point to me
It’s about evaluating and protecting your assets. If he is on his way to becoming a good player, for one thing you find a way to get him on the field, and for another, he’s got enough upside (because of his power) that he’d have value if he could demonstrated between now and then that he’s a major league hitter.

My guess is that...
…they felt that they were going to deal him anyway, and his value wasn’t going to improve significantly if they called him up in, say, July.
Not saying it is right, just saying that I think that was the thought process.
by Adam J. Morris on Sep 6, 2008 9:21 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
That may be true
And if so, maybe they were unlucky. Either way, they’re worse off for that gamble.

I'm not sure
with Byrd having an awesome August, you upped his value as well. Right now, Laird and Byrd can probably both go for much more value than they had in July/August.

Murphy and Boggs
were both doing their jobs pretty well. I’m not sure who you send down, maybe Boggs, but Boggs offer more defensive flexibility than Nelly.
You also have to remember, Cruz was injured for awhile during the middle of the year.
by FirebatM3 on Sep 6, 2008 9:28 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
This is going in all different directions
1. Cruz didn’t have to play every game.
2. Cruz got hurt subsequent to when I wanted him promoted, so yes he misses that time and yes, he gets a lot more games in the majors anyway.
3. If we’re all into retrospeculation, Murphy’s injury allows plenty of time for Cruz to have played plenty all of the time he would have been up.
The fact is that it was the smart thing to do at the time, and they went against the grain either because they were down on him or because of Adam’s reason. And whichever it was, they are worse off for their decision, because they lost out on quite a bit of time to evaluate Cruz and wouldn’t have had to lose hardly any if any time at all pumping up Byrd’s. How much value does Byrd have anyway, at this point, since he’s almost to free agency?

by Brett Perryman on Sep 6, 2008 9:34 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I don't see that point of evaluation
at the time there was no place to play him every-day and if you’re not going to play him everyday, what’s the point of bringing him up?
The fact is that it was unfortunate that Nellie got hurt when he did, if he hadn’t we would have seen much more of him.
Byrd is hitting near .300 and has played pretty good CF defense, and he’ll still be pretty cheap next year. I think he’d have a bit of value.

his arm is more than decent, it’s a quick release and it’s really freakin accurate.
He’s probably the weakest strength wise, but it’s definitely much more accurate than Josh’s or even Nelson’s
