I like this quote
Catalanotto was a little more upbeat about his experience with Italy than Cruz was with the Dominican Republic.
Well, duh. Italy won a game, something no one thought they would do. The Domincan was epically pathetic. At least Cruz had a few good plays during the series. I don’t think he did anything to be embarrassed about, other than failing to score runs off of a low-A quality pitching staff from Holland…
Today's starter?
Other pitchers expected to throw today?

Brandon McCarthy, Jason Jennings, Willie Eyre, Eddie Guardado, Neftali Feliz

was poking aroudn fatwallet
and found this deal for rangers 2009 mini plans with this comment at the bottom
Nice deal OP. Too bad its so hard being a Rangers fan. Every year we hope to finally have some decent pitching in Arlington to go with the hitting. As much as I love having Josh Hamilton, it would have been nice to have a front 4 rotation of Chris Young, John Danks, Edinson Volquez, and Armando Galarraga.
just glanced at it and the username was “phatkid” – i thought it was philkid3 and about flipped my shit — thought he was really JW in disguise lol
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.
Eh
Does anyone know whether today’s game will actually be webcast for free on the Rangers web site?
Per the Rangers release: “The eight free webcasts on texasrangers.com Gameday Audio begin on Thursday, March 10, when the Rangers host San Francisco at Surprise Stadium at 2:05 p.m. CT.”
There’s a lot of incorrect info in that statement. The broadcast wasn’t free, March 10th was Tuesday not today and the game was at 3pm not 2, but that’s straight out of the Official Release.
Just wondering if any one knew for sure how the “free” webcasts are supposed to work?

I don't know what to make of JPark's Smoak answer
I guess it assumes an injury but if he really is that good, are you looking to have Davis play a different position already?
"To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant."
Mid-season trade.
Some team, some where will need a left-handed bat.
JD: Adamant about 78 wins in 2009. Go Rangers!
i don't like the thinking
that he can be this year’s Matt LaPorte. He is simply too valuable, in my opinion, to trade for 4 months of any human being because a) he is a far more complete player than LaPorte and b) there is no realistic scenario that even the most rose-colored glasses, coolaid drinking Rangesr fan in the world can dream up in which this team is legitimately one player away from winning a championship this year.
If Smoak gets traded, it needs to be for a young, top of the rotation pitcher who we can control for many years on the cheap.
sometimes I forget that Hank is on the team
but I would be on board with trading him to promote Smoak if performance warranted.
hmm
so here’s our glut of 1b/DH:
Hank
Davis
Max
Smoak
You are saying, if they trade Hank, that Davis is the DH and Smoak plays 1st? Wither Max?
"To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant."
splitting time with teagarden behind the plate
+ getting some DH abs?
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.

wait
right now we just have hank and davis. you are saying by trading hank, we can also bring up max and smoak? something doesn’t compute there
"To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant."
One of these guys were gonna have to give up for Halladay.
Along with Martin Perez..
"My mother always taught me that if the only thing you have to say is,

im ok with that
trade hank and perez in a heartbeat ;)
now, is a trade of say davis/maxram/neil ramirez or beavan/boscan or kennil gomez something that you would do?
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.

if your saying in general
i think there is a small chance of him being here in 2 years unless he plays 3b again
this year:
Hank – MLB
Davis – MLB
Max – AAA
Smoak – AA? AAA?
i see no problems there (this year) – maybe they move blalock at some point in the year and you bring max up as your most of the time DH, part time catcher?
that said, going into next year you should have max/blalock/davis all at the ML level…and going into 2011 you have all 4
now that said, you almost HAVE to move davis off of 1b (is he really going to be THAT bad at 3b or in the OF? worse than dunn bad?) because its aweful hard to justify making a player that young be a full time DH imho
then you have maxram/teagarden/salty at C going into next year – i think there is about a 1% chance of them keeping all of them all year long, i think its a forlorn conclusion that the rangers trade one of those guys (to florida for SP? i love josh johnson!)
teams with a long term hole at catcher:
TOR
KC
Angels (out of the equasion imho)
NYY (dont tell me montero is going to stick at C, hes not)
CWS (flowers=not a ML catcher imho)
florida (unless you are sold on john baker)
cincy
boston
NYM
DET
philly
milwaukee (depends on what you think of salome)
san diego
theres a lot of value to me in the glut of guys we have at 1B/DH/C – and not that you HAVE to make a move, but i think its gonna become problamatic going into next year with that same glut of guys – thats 3 catchers, 3 1B plus whatever other guys that do well in th enext 2 years…

KG: Oh yeah.

Catchers
Toronto has JP Arencibia, rated a 5 star today by Golstein.
The Angels have Mike Napoli through 2012. Hank Conger, with questionable defense coming up soon.
Florida has Baker for the short-run, Kyle Skipworth for the long-run.
Detroit has Laird for the short-run, Alex Avila for the long-run.
Philly has a stack of Carlos Ruiz, then Lou Marson, then Travis D’Arnaud.
Milwaukee has Salome, as you mentioned, and then Jon Lucroy, who it underrated by most.
San Diego is debuting Nick Hundley this year.
On top of that, some team will get Austin Maddox, Max Stassi or Luke Bailey, prep catchers, in the draft, and the college prospects are Josh Phegley, Robert Stock, and Ryan Ortiz. So there’s talent out there.
I know Todd doesn't like hearing this
but I think the Rangers are hoping Max continues to put up monster numbers in AAA this year so they can trade him. I think he is the guy who fits our long term plans the least.
that said, he will have a ton of value (esp if he continues to develop as a C). He and one of our young pitchers could be enough to land Grienke by themselves by this deadline, especially if this year goes as poorly for cash strapped clubs as I expect it to (thereby making young, controllable prospects even more valuable than before).
Greinke
They’re not going to trade him at this deadline unless they’re getting a Teixeira-like return. KC successfully signed him to an affordable extension, so they’re not going to let him go unless they get a franchise-type prospect.
I won't be heart broken if he is traded
if we get a front line pitcher back.
I think Max as a DH would put up comparable numbers as Smoak or Davis, but those latter two probably have a lot more trade value, so I’d rather one of them be moved and get the best pitching return. Anyways, if the end result is a TORG, I’ll be happy. OTOH, if we trade Max for some fringe ML starter then watch Max put up several years of 900+ OPS, then I will be pissed.
Doctor please. Some more of these.
one more thing
you say that Max is the guy who fits our long term plans the least, and I don’t understand that. We need a 1b (either Davis or Smoak) and a DH (Max). Why would Max be a less viable option for DH. Seems to me he is the best fit for DH because with either of the other 2, you would be wasting some defensive value with them at DH.
Doctor please. Some more of these.
the quote btw
Brian: Smoak could hold his own at the major league level right now. If the opportunity is there, I think Smoak is up by the end of the summer. He’s that good. – JPARKS

Anyone get the feeling that the Rangers' marking thinks

JD: Adamant about 78 wins in 2009. Go Rangers!
i have 2 quetsions
1>> WHAT exactly is it about melo that people like? all ive seen is stats…looking for more indepth info
2>> between macumba and teagarden, what really is the “main” differences between how they project as major league players? i mean i know both guys value will come from their defense, and the clear difference is that one is at the AAA/Majors level and one is at the AA level — but is teagarden THAT much better of a hitter than macumba?

From Evan Grant:
No radar gun visible in stadium. He had swings and misses on some good offspeed stuff and seemed to really command the outside lower corner of the plate against right-handed hitters.
When I go down to the clubhouse, I’ll see if anybody there has radar readings. I would not bet on anything above 91-92 mph. He’s never going to have overpowering stuff. Not below average either, but not overpowering. Think is, he looked like a pitcher today
Check the stats, absolutely, but look at the face.

i know they aren't really competing
but Jones striking out with the bases loaded juxtaposed against Byrd’s 2-2 with a walk, SF and 3 RBIs is probably notable.
Maybe Nolan could tell us.

i wish melhuse would suck in ST
It diminishes other players doing well.
the preceding post was a great success.
Man, McCarthy's high 80's...
straight as a string fastball looked pretty good today, I guess.

OT: I left the TV on mlb channel
its so weird to see really smart GM’s (Josh Byrnes) giving John Hart so much credit

Feliz' final line:
2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 SO, 1 HBP, 2 GO-3 FO
30 Pitches, 16 Strikes, 14 Balls
that tim lincecum commercial is pretty good

The 2k9 commercial?
Yeah, it is.

No idea
They don’t give us enough of it for me to make an ID, at least.

Yes, I'm old
It’s Dance Hall Days by Wang Chung. The 80’s were awesome!

Well, I totally missed the game again
But let me just say that I’m extremely encouraged by the box score. Particularly where it pertains to Brandon McCarthy.
