Sigh

Guess not every young writer can be as charismatic and informative as BBTiA’s Joey Matschulat…

he wanted to make sure everyone knew that he was old enough to actually remember the ARod signing by Texas.

Luckily our young posters don’t pull these antics. Not that I’ve really noticed anyhow.

To whomever wants to give him the most zeros and years on his contract.

I thought he was going to be something after he had that 16/8 season during the strike season.

thats a whole lot different than 162mlb games.

i’m really hoping this is the year cruz pulls it all together at the major league level

if marlins really want a catcher that bad, choose one of the 3…

Screw you Dish.

…would have to do with spending big bucks on Manny.

I knew your point and where you were coming from. You have just as much righgt to write and speculate as we do. Some people are just mad because they don’t have their own website that people read.

Now I feel bad for bagging on you.

I see the chances of the Rangers getting in on him as being minimal. They’d only consider him as a DH, and only on a one year deal, and I suspect he’d get a better one year offer elsewhere. And really, I’m not even sure they’d want him here that badly, given the circus that surrounds him. They brought Bradley in last year, but Ron Washington had a history with him and vouched for him being a good guy who had a bad rap. I think, with the young players in place and what the team is trying to do, they’d be loathe to introduce that element into the clubhouse.

but what you did was still lazy or at the very least, you were straining.

no matter how you describe it, your rangers paragraph is bad. you don’t conclude that the rangers would be an unlikely destination (like you did with the Angels paragraph) and your ultimate conclusion:

However, if the Rangers front office decides to put all their chips on offense, Ramirez could wind up in Texas.

is just wrong.

And, again, Arod doesn’t prove anything, except that Hicks has met Boras before. However, I’m not sure how much that means since every other team in the league has probably met Boras before.

I’m sorry, I’d be a bit less harsh if I saw any sort of retraction on your part but all I saw was you still thinking that you’re right – which you aren’t at all. Your interpretation of the situation is wrong and only a few more details of the Rangers situation would have alerted you to that.

but it doesn’t make your point any better. Manny still wouldn’t be signed here to play the OF and the A-Rod signing years ago has no relevance to today,

As I mention in a post earlier this afternoon, Pat Burrell on a one year deal would be an option.

I don’t think there’s any chance that Manny’s suitors drop out to the point he’d take a 1 year deal for $8-9 million, which is the most I could see Texas offering him.

what you think about Ramirez and the Rangers can be boiled down to this?

“Over the last decade, Rangers teams have featured powerful offensive lineups and free-agent pitchers. More often than not, that hasn’t worked out well for them. So I don’t think they’ll sign Manny Ramirez unless no one else wants him, and even then I don’t think they’ll sign him. But if they decide to sign him, then they might sign him.”
