Today's lineup up

Today's lineup is up.

I would love to know what the justification is for hitting Vizquel leadoff and Davis and Salty 7-8.

Vizquel needs the ABs.

I am guessing decision time is coming soon on the UIF position. Maybe Arias does have a real shot at winning the job.

This could be it

If not, and if you really do think that Vizquel belongs in the first spot and Catalanotto, either you should not be managing or Cat should not be in the organization.

Also, I guess Vizquel is playing 2nd?

Probably true for this game

But does anyone not believe that we’ll see something similar during the season?
When Kinsler is out, we’ll be treated to Arias, Andrus, Vizquel, or some other guy that’s stolen a base or two. For Wash, speed at the top of the lineup is key.

1 – speed
2 – batting average (and veteran)
3 – Best Bat
4 & 5 power and protection.

We should all thank our lucky stars that Kinsler will take a bag or two during the season. If he didn’t he could put up an OBP of .450, and still be relegated to hitting 6th.

Kinsler

I think if Kinsler wasn’t a base stealer we would see him hitting either 2nd or drop down to the 5 or 6 spot and let him focus more on slugging the ball. In fact next year I wouldn’t be suprised with Borbon here to see Kins in the 2 hole and Young drop down to the 6 spot

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.

that's what I'd hope for...
ith Borbon here to see Kins in the 2 hole and Young drop down to the 6 spot

- but I doubt that’s what happens for another 2 years…

yeah

if you want to make sure you see some real ABs from Vizquel, this is how you do it. Davis and Salty’s jobs are pretty secure.

Its spring training, they’re really not trying to win games. Focusing on lineups is kind of weird to me at this point.

by JBImaknee on Mar 19, 2009 1:07 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

True, all the angst over ST lineups is silly.

I do think that is the reason for batting Vizquel 1st, though.

Sometimes I think he puts 9 names into and ashtray and pulls them out to get his lineup.

Well, that's just the kind of player he is

What should concern you is how well he’s making contact, not the K’s themselves.

Sort of

But I mean otherwise, when he’s not striking out. He’s gonna strike out a lot, that just seems to be the player he is – therefore his LD rate and such is probably going to be pretty important.

So far:
Nathan (Columbus): Neftali Feliz: Is he going to see an MLB roster this year?

Kevin Goldstein: Yes, but I bet Derek Holland gets the first shot from the Triple-A roster.

Ira (North Texas): I have a projected rotation for Hickory, in the Sally league of: Martin Perez, Carlos Pimentel, Neil Ramirez, Wilfredo Boscan, and Richard Bleier. Bleier is the granddaddy of this rotation at 22, the rest are teenagers. How ridiculous is this rotation?

Kevin Goldstein: Utterly ridiculous. What might be more impressive is that the Rangers had the best pitching staff at Low-A last year, and this year they’re lined up to repeat that with a whole new group.

jadelman (NY): I’d say there’s a __% chance that Neftali Feliz ends up in a bullpen and not a rotation.

Kevin Goldstein: 16.831

Mike (Tx): What’s up?

Kevin Goldstein: Not much, chatting, doing lots of booking signings and radio shows. Dealing with drama, trying to find time to pop open some imported video games for a PS3 that is seeing precious little on-time lately. Also this is the last day of my 30s, and my girlfriend is asking me if my mid-life crisis begins tomorrow. That’s about it — how about you?

fellajsmall (ATL): Am I stupid as a Braves fan to not mind the deal for Teixeira? We obviously gave up most people thought we had the best team on paper going into last year. Satly and Harrison seem to flattening out and we know what Andrus is. I think that trades winds up being Feliz for Tex.

Kevin Goldstein: Glasses . . . meet rose colored. That trade is a nightmare.

More from the Law chat
jack (texas): A’s the best farm system, are you delusional. inoa has never pithed in a game and carter will struggle to hit .200, my rangers prospects are much better

Kevin Goldstein: You own the Rangers? That’s fantastic. Glad to have you aboard. I heard from a ton of Rangers supporters after that ranking came out and I can’t believe how mad some people are that I ranked their system as the SECOND BEST IN ALL OF BASEBALL.

I really do want to see the answer to this question. BA for instance rates the A’s as having the 3rd best system and Goldstein seems extraordinarily high on Carter. Ynoa is also something I’m curious about since he doesn’t have a single pro inning yet is the A’s top prospect according to Goldstein.

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

and more:
Or (Dallas): On behalf of all readers in the Dallas area, I’d like to thank you for doing that interview with Bob and Dan. We are an area sadly deprived of baseball talk; the Cowboys dominate the airwaves even in the heat of summer. With that out of the way, if Chris Davis still qualified as a prospect where would he rank on the list? Above or below the Smoak Monster?

Kevin Goldstein: I had a good time with them on 1310-am the other day, and hopefully we’ll do more. Make sure to let them know as well. If forced, I’d probably take Smoak, but that’s more because of my love as Smoak as compared to anything against Davis, who I like plenty.

too bad Corey Young pitched yesterday. I already emailed Evan Grant to ask about the possibility of Young being our 2nd lefty in the pen this year, depending on Guardardo’s injury status. He said that Ballard is probably first in line but that he would look into it.

he'll probably

come back out and pitch three effective innings, and we’ll be treated to relatively positive stories about how he “battled” and saved the bullpen despite not having his best stuff, or, as the local media calls it, the “Millwood”.

Hey, BBIMBF...

My company just blocked all the webmail (gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc.) youtube and myspace/facebook, but did not block here or some other bulletin boards I go to. Does your paper block some sites?

What’s really fun… sometimes the local school districts’ e-mail servers block e-mail sent to our paper’s domain. It hasn’t been a problem in a while, but it has been in the past and I had to use my yahoo mail address to get something important a couple of times.

I actually had the G3 server because it was sitting around collecting dust and I know enough about computers to get it back running to replace my iMac G3/333 MHz/256 MB RAM that was my computer when I started here.

One method used to bypass Websense is to use a web-based proxy site. With a proxy, Websense sees you browse to the web proxy — not to the web site you are actually browsing to. You browse to the web proxy, and then the web proxy browses to the web site you want to visit. The reason that these web proxies are able to bypass Websense is the the ‘S’ in the HTTP address (https://) stands for secure connection and Websense does not block such secured connections. This is probably the simplest way to get around the Websense program as it takes little time and no one will wonder what you are up to.

From EG:
Moments ago, he went chasing after a foul pop and ended up crashing against the railing in front of the Oakland dugout. His momentum sent him tumbling into the dugout where he appeared to hit head. Blalock got up, but left the game, dabbing at his forehead with a towel. Couldn’t tell if he opened a gash or not.

The Rangers aren’t the only club interested in finding out if Blalock can still play the position. The New York Yankees could be in the market for a replacement for Alex Rodriguez while he recovers from shoulder surgery. The Houston Astros could use somebody to replace Aaron Boone, who underwent open heart surgery this week. Both clubs have had scouts around the Rangers this week.

Buzz did see blood, however.

Tight Right Rhomboid muscle according ot the broadcast

Quick diagnosis. I wonder why they have had such problems diagnosing shoulder problems here in Texas.

I thought I heard one of the Athletics say something about “If we can’t get at Francisco, then you’ll do”, but I could have misheard.

Geez.

Say, anyone got the gameday link? I can’t seem to pull up the MLB audio… which I’m wondering if that has anything to do with the flashplayer update I kissed off when I started up my computer today.

Got the 2008 book from the library this week and it’s got a shitload of practice tests in there to do. I’m gonna step things up a little more once I finish out my blogging duties this week.

yeah

none of the proxies I’ve found work. The IP address thing works sorta — I can load the main page but any link I click won’t load (but not because it is blocked).

I would be interested in the flash drive idea.

Could be a cheap, portable work around.

Rangers Won’t Add Andruw Jones to 40-Man Roster By Friday
SURPRISE, Ariz. – Rangers general manager Jon Daniels acknowledged the team will decline to add non-roster outfielder Andruw Jones to the 40-man roster by Friday, thus giving the 10-time Gold Glove winner a chance to take free agency.

Woah.
