Andrus

so from what it sounds like, Andrus is definitely the opening day shortstop?

agree or not

JD sure is saying the right things, putting it in MY’s court…

by Ryin A on Jan 13, 2009 10:22 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

after reading JD's comments, it is really starting to sink in

that the organization fully expects Andrus to be the opening day SS, and they might not even pursue a contingency plan.

I’d really rather see them spend a couple million on Vizquel, that would accomplish a couple things: give Andrus what would appear to be a very good mentor, and at the same time allow him to start in OKC, for at least a month or two, so that the club gets another year of service time.

there has to be some type of contingency plan, right?

Surely JD wouldn’t get backed into a corner where he forces MY to 3rd, starts the season w/ Andrus at SS, reach a point where Andrus bat just won’t play, then has to demote Elvis and ask MY back to SS mid season, right?

Went to a BAL/TEX game back in 2000

Texas was down something like five runs going into the bottom of the sixth inning (courtesy of a bad Rick Helling start). They rallied with six runs in that half-inning, capped by a three-run shot from David Segui, and went on to win by one run.

The opposing starter? Sidney Ponson.

When your health gauge is low, visit a lake of a Great Fairy to restore your life. When you approach the lake, your health will slowly fill. While your health is being restored, press start to enter the item selection subscreen, and your health will continue to fill. Using a controller in port 2, press Up + A to return to the save menu. Select SAVE, and load your character’s file. Once loaded, instead of remaining at the default of 3 filled heart containers, Link will have his health fully restored at the start.

that's a really interesting question

Say they sign Vizquel as a backup, in case Andrus fails badly, it would be an odd 25 man roster with two weak-hitting shortstops. That’s why it would be better to bring Andrus up after the AS break – even if he plays badly you can ride him to the end of the season and reevaluate.

At this point, I can’t imagine the Rangers decide to send Andrus out to AAA after Spring Training and go with Arias(arm) or Duran(he’d be just as bad as Young).

having said that,

maybe they are extremely confident in his defensive ability and feel that he’s mentally strong enough to hold up if he is terrible offensively.

They really think Andrus is ready right now. I’m surprised. We need to be prepared to watch some growing pains. He’s going to be a replacement level hitter for a year or two as he grows, anything above that will be a bonus. I hope they’re right about him.

Give him a month or two or three in AAA at the very least and we get an extra year on the back end.

I also think the Rangers need to get Holland and Feliz up in September and hit the ground running next year. If they compete this year even better.

Here is what I don’t get MY says it needs to be a give and take but the Rangers gave him that huge contract so maybe he should give and move over to third for the good of the team.

Would this assessment of Young's defensive projection at third base from J. Parks make you feel any better?
I think Young would be an above-average 3B. Young’s overall defensive skill set has deteriorated some over the past few seasons, but I still think his glove would grade out in the 55 range at 3B. Young has one of the strongest infield arms in baseball, so I think his arm would remain a legit 70.

Because Josey is so good at "doublethink..."

“All nationalists have the power of not seeing resemblances between similar sets of facts…. Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them, and there is almost no kind of outrage — torture, the use of hostages, forced labour, mass deportations, imprisonment without trial, … assassination, the bombing of civilians — which does not change its moral colour when it is committed by ‘our’ side … The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them.”

Its fantasy baseball

Young is a great SS for fantasy baseball. He hits .300 in the middle of the league’s best lineup which gets him a good amount of RBIs and runs. And while he has never been a huge base stealer, he still steals enough to add some value in a roto league. With a weak offensive position like shortstop, Young becomes a pretty valuable player. None of this really matter to the Rangers on the field because most fantasy baseball leagues don’t look at other stats.

Yah, he had a really effed up childhood. Like really effed up.

Read this article, it highlights some of it.

Andersen was raised in poverty by an overworked single mom. When Chris was a young boy, his father, Claus, built the family a house in Iola. During the construction, Chris and his two sisters slept in a barn and used a bucket as a toilet. When the home was completed, Claus skipped town, leaving his soon-to-be ex-wife to raise the kids.
Much as she’s later claimed it pained her, Linda [his Mother] decided to forfeit her custody and split up the family for the sake of their financial survival. But soon Claus [the Father] tired of the kids and decided to go on the road to sell his art. He gave the kids a choice: they could attend military school or move into a children’s home. “All I knew about military school was that they expected you to make your own bed,” says Chris. “I chose the children’s home.”

Oh, and this:

The Cumberland Presbyterian Children’s Home, a Spartan complex off Interstate 35 in Denton, Texas, had a basic rule. Run away three times and you’re gone. April violated the policy after a month and was sent back to her father. Chris, then 11, was more docile. “Man, I just wanted a place to sleep,” he says. For the next four years he stayed at the home and attended the local elementary and middle schools. Though both his parents were not only alive but also living in the same state, he was, for all intents, an orphan.

It doesn’t say expressly that he went to Calhoun in the article, but there was one in the Wretched-Comical a while back where it talked about his time as an electric orange Cougar.

trza, I will give JD credit

for not hiding under a rock like his predecessor but he is full of bullshit when he says that he wants to “get all of our championship caliber players on the field together.”

When one of those players is not ready for The Show, you don’t bring him up.

I don‘t know you who you are. I don‘t know what you want. If you‘re looking for me to be a man and move to third base for the good of the team, I can tell you, I don't have man parts. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills acquired over a very long career of secretly being a pretty huge douche. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you trade me now, that will be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don‘t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will throw a gigantic hissy fit in the media.

If you really want to feel like bashing your head against the wall is the only way out, do what I just did and read a few comments on the DMN story.

Good god.

All those people are aggressively retarded.

The next time someone tells me that all lives should be treated the same and protected equally, I’m gonna send ’em over to that board and have ’em read 10 comments.

If there’s a better case to be made for napalming the nations trailer parks and monster truck rallies, I haven’t seen it.

AJM...

please get us a new thread. This one takes forever to load… and there’s nothing that can be added that will be worthy of this thread’s greatness.

Allow a paraphrase from my favorite book:

I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book thread: If anyone adds anything to them, God Josey will add to him the plagues beatings described in this book thread. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy thread, God miles will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city status, which are described in this book blog.

I guess you heard Fat Joe left Atlantic.
