Today in LSB history

2 years ago today, we discussed a T.R. Sullivan article on the Rangers hoping that they could roll with Sammy Sosa as their DH, and Brad Wilkerson, Kenny Lofton, and Nelson Cruz as the outfielders.

Suprisingly enough, they both OPS+'d 104 in '07

Yeah. Spies. They're little guys with beady eyes and long fingernails. They plant bugs that can pick up the hush of a man's heartbeat - or the whisper of a falling hair.

The thing that strikes me is the fact that we went into that season with Jerry Hairston platooning in CF

I honestly have no idea how we ever thought we where going to contend with that starting OF.

I always thought Victor Diaz was gonna be a good player.

He only walked ONCE here however. He might be learning, got 49 BBs in Tacoma last year with 100 RBIs.

Makes me smile.

When I carefully assessed that team and said they were 75 win

talent at best, oh, you should have heard and read all the crap I took.

Rangers finished that season 75-87.

Move on and quit living in the past.

Well John Danks

was one on my favorite players we drafted and i;ve followed him for a long time. Just like Jamey and Hindman say.. it’s hard to get rid of a player you’ve loved for so long
