Thursday morning Rangers news

PrintJeff Wilson says yesterday's lineup for the spring opener is likely the one we will see on Opening Day, with Hank Blalock, David Murphy, and Chris Davis -- three lefties -- hitting 5-6-7. That would mean Marlon Byrd is in the 4th outfielder role, and Andruw Jones either wouldn't make the team or would be on the bench.
Wilson also runs down some updates on Derrick Turnbow, Jason Jennings, Kason Gabbard, and John Bannister, who are all either coming back from injury or slowed right now.
Jeff Wilson has a Q&A up with Tom Hicks. I wish he'd ask him if Hicks still thinks John Hart is the smartest man in baseball, though...
T.R. Sullivan talks about Hank Blalock starting off spring training strong, and the importance of Blalock filling Milton Bradley's DH role from last year.
Sullivan also says that Mathis, Holland, Eyre and Guardado are slated to pitch today.

Can't wait
To listen to real baseball this afternoon. I’d love to see Blalock find it again for a whole season and stay healthy. I
Repost
Since coming back from thoracic outlet syndrome surgery he has hit .292/.352/.537 with 17 HR & 55 RBI in 84 games. His .889 OPS would rank him in the top ten in the AL over a full season.
In the 84 games prior to his TOS surgery dating back to early August of 2006 he hit .252/.305/.415 with 9 HR and 36 RBI. It was in late July 2006 when he started having shoulder problems which turned out to be TOS. If you recall he got off to a hot start in ’06 after down but not bad ’05.
Being the regular DH versus right-handed starters he would diminish the chances for injury and let him focus on hitting.

DH
I don’t think he’s going to be in any kind of platoon only playing against RHP. I think hes our full time DH playing everyday if healthy.
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
for the first half of the season
I’d be willing to bet Max is called up in the 2nd half, or Smoak is ready earlier than thought forcing either himself or Davis to DH here and there…plus, if Andruw Jones makes this team, we are going to see Hamilton, Byrd, Murphy and Andruw squeeze out DH duty here and there

I disagree
If Hank is healthy and hitting well I don’t see him being squeezed by anyone. The last two years he has hit lefties very well albeit small sample size but if he continues that trend and stays healthy I don’t see anyone displacing him. Damn sure not Max Ramirez or Justin Smoak. If Davis struggles this year I could see a scenario where Hank plays 1B more and then someone like Hamilton or Cruz DHs.
I am still of the belief that if Jones makes the team Cruz won’t so that is part of my thinking.
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
I get that last bit of logic...
I guess I am saying that if he stays healthy and productive, we trade him at the deadline…if not earlier. I mean, are we going to look into re-signing him with 1st and 3rd locked up for the foreseeable future? and if not, and he’s got value, why not get something for him?
"Hang-Dai, Wu...Hang-Fu$&ing-Dai"
by Walter Sobchak on Feb 26, 2009 1:41 PM CST up reply actions
OK I get you now
I didn’t know you were meaning Hank gets traded. I think if he performs really well he will have tremendous value at the deadline. Also if hes producing he will most likely be a type B if not type A FA after this season which would increase his value to other teams.
I highly doubt Smoak would get called up to DH/1B as early as August. I just don’t see the Rangers rushing him that much
As for Max I think he would have to show a decent size regression defensively to get called up to DH. I think the Rangers front office wants him to stick at catcher as long as possible to maximize his value not only to us but to other teams via trade.
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
yeah I see that working out three ways
as far as Max is concerned:
1) Max continues to catch AAA as Salty builds value and is traded for pitching, and we call him up to back Teagarden up and DH on days that the slot is open
2) Salty and Teagarden do well enough to keep the “who should start?” argument burning, yet neither seizes control of the job; Max stays in AAA refining his catching skills and is called up towards the end of the season as rosters expand to rotate at C and DH; at which point he either enters 2010 as our DH if Smoak isn’t ready or if Davis is traded and Smoak is ready, is traded for pitching, or one of Salty/Teagarden is traded and he is promoted to backup C
3) Hank is traded, opening the DH slot for Max after he spends half a season at AAA refining his catching skills
And as far as Smoak goes, I didn’t think he’d be up as fast as I am now saying, but you certainly can’t say that it won’t happen…just that in ordinary circumstances, it isn’t likely. I can see him blowing up AA pitchers and forcing his way onto this roster.
And that’s my dream for this year: Andrus, Borbon, Smoak, Max, Holland, Feliz, Madrigal, Diamond, etc. playing so well that they force the issue and continue the trend set last year of bringing up younger guys to play meaningful innings

Starting lineups
If we open against a LHP and David Murphy is starting in LF and a fully healthy Marlon Byrd is on the bench there needs to be some serious questions asked

is MLB got hip and put the kibosh on it, because it was working earlier and just stopped. It makes sense too since it would be giving out free what they want us to buy in their Extra Innings iPhone app.

the OF
that doesn’t seem like a very good defensive configuration
"To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant."
lets see if
Holland has what it takes to bounce back with a strong performance today
Outfield
I am really hoping Jones has a strong spring and wins the CF job. I would love to roll with Hamilton in Right, Jones in Center and Cruz in Left. The pitching staff could potentially benefit tremendously from the combo of superior OF defense and better defense from 3rd and SS.
Fire Ron Washington
From yesterday's Jim Callis chat:
Chris (San Diego): Do the Rangers have a shot at the AL west crown this year. I know the pitching isn’t predicted to do muich this year but the Offense is a bright spot.
Jim Callis: It may not take more than 85 wins to take the AL West. The Rangers look like the third-best team, behind the Rangers and Athletics, to me, but they do have a ton of talent in their farm system. If a couple of pitchers jump up to the majors and exceed 2009 expectations, they could win it this year. I think 2010-11 is more realistic, though.
John (Chicago): Uh, no – only 4 1/2 minutes have passed us by. You can keep chatting for another 55 1/2 minutes! Would you rather have Martin Perez or Ross Detwiler?
Jim Callis: Perez, but it’s close and Detwiler did come on in the second half last year. Perez is intriguing, but I think he’s getting a little overhyped (partially BA’s fault!) considering he hasn’t even made it to full-season ball.
Steve (Los Angeles): Heyward or Rasmus? B. Anderson or D. Holland?
Jim Callis: Rasmus (and that’s a very tough call) and Anderson.
Scott Ames IA: Which minor league system would you choose if you had to put together a complete major league team from it? And what would be the lineup?
Jim Callis: The Rangers. C—Teagarden, 1B—Smoak, 2B—Vallejo, SS—Andrus, 3B (the weak spot)—West, LF—Bianucci, CF—Borbon, RF—Beltre, DH—Ramirez, SP—Feliz/Holland/Perez/Main/Boscan, CL—Beavan.
Jason (Bmore): Does Neftali Feliz project into a #1 starter?
Jim Callis: Yes.
Matt (Vermillion): Ramos or Teagarden because Ramos was higher in the Top 100?
Jim Callis: Personally, I like Teagarden more. But I’ve always been high on Teagarden.

Just a hunch
He seemed to have a little something last year before his injury and being a college guy I think he could shoot up charts and levels this year. I wouldn’t be suprised to see him in Frisco by the end of the year, maybe only a cameo but nonetheless
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Wrist Injury
Don’t be surprised if his bat gets off to a slow start. Usually hand or wrist injuries linger a bit into the following season, mainly in the power department. Bianucci broke his wrist diving for a ball right at the end of the year, so he might need some time to get back on track.
That being said, I’m a big fan of his bat if it comes back strong.

Power potential.
Likely won’t hit for a high average, but really has a chance to hit some balls out. Walks enough, not a lot. Will strike out his fair share of times. If he turns his doubles into dingers, he’s going to be a good power bat.

Thursday spring update, a.m. news:
<>Outfielder Marlon Byrd (knee) expects to be cleared by team doctor Keith Meister on Friday to start playing games. He said his knee has responded to the warm weather and is running at 95 percent.
<>The Rangers will watch right-hander Chad Cordero throw off a mound Friday, the first time they’ve seem him pitch this off-season. They no longer have no interest in signing lefty Odalis Perez, who was released by Washington after not honoring the minor-league contract he had signed earlier in the month. Kris Benson’s presence also has cooled the Rangers on Perez.
<>The MLB Network will air a documentary on Josh Hamilton at 8 Friday night. Josh Hamilton: Resurrecting the Dream is an hour-long look into his comeback from drug abuse.

I thought he was one of the more interesting NRIs out there.

Actually,
in double-negative mumbo-jumbo, I think that means that they now do have interest in signing him. Although talking about how Benson has also cooled the Rangers’ interest makes it likely that the Rangers no longer have any interest in Perez.

I'd actually be happier
with Mark Connor throwing the first pitch than W. Although it would afford the opportunity to boo ol’ George in person.
Nah. Mark Connor wont throw the first pitch out
but he will change W’s arm slot which will result in him needing Tommy John surgery
Considering...
Lee will be pitching on opening day, wouldn’t Byrd be in LF and hit between Blalcok and Davis if healthy?
Looking forward to seeing how Holland looks today.

Noticed the other day that the network was profiling each team, one per day for the next 30 days. Anyone have any idea when the Rangers’ day comes up?
Im not positive
But the couple ive seen were teams in the grapefruit league.. i’d guess they will go through that half of the league before coming to AZ.
But maybe they have teams in both places, I dont know.
