I like Andro
And he is a good writer but he is no Evan Grant.
Keith Law on Greg Golson, "He's similiar to Cameron and Hunter in that all three are black."
Why can't
we ever get one of our games televised to watch it on the damn MLB.com media center thing. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh’s game gets televised so its not just the usual big name teams.
On another note, is Andrus arm not coming back because he is afraid to test it or because it really went to hell after he hurt it?
Please tell me
you meant to type Arias instead of Andrus and I didn’t miss Elvis getting hurt.
Please.
I think....
He meant to say Arias. And i think Sunday’s game is on FSN if that’s any comfort to you.
Please tell me Feliz or Holland is pitching tomorrow?

Minor league game.

If he can get close to
Harrison and Bmac’s last 2 starts each would be huge.
Keith Law on Greg Golson, "He's similiar to Cameron and Hunter in that all three are black."
OT: Aaron Crow
If Aaron Crow is still on the board when the Rangers turn comes do they pick him?
Keith Law on Greg Golson, "He's similiar to Cameron and Hunter in that all three are black."
I'd certainly hope so
I think that would probably quality as the best case scenario that might be plausible.
Doctor please. Some more of these.
Ok that said Adam
Do you think Crow will be there when the Rangers pick?
Keith Law on Greg Golson, "He's similiar to Cameron and Hunter in that all three are black."
what about Tanner Scheppers
I saw a mock that had us taking him in the first.
Doctor please. Some more of these.
I've heard the name
Is he a pitcher? Is he in HS or College?
Keith Law on Greg Golson, "He's similiar to Cameron and Hunter in that all three are black."
college pitcher that held out last season, like Crow
I think going into last season he was viewed in a similar light as Crow, but some type of injury scare knocked him backwards on draft boards. He was selected outside of the first round and held out, didn’t sign, and is supposed to play indy ball like Crow until the draft. Not sure if he is a Boras guy.
Others can probably fill in the details, but that is what I remember about him. Supposed to be very talented and a possible fast mover.
Doctor please. Some more of these.
Sounds like a very nice player
What college did he go to?
Keith Law on Greg Golson, "He's similiar to Cameron and Hunter in that all three are black."
sickels has a note about him
he had him as the third ranked college pitcher on last year’s board:
He’s made huge progress refining his talent this year, and pitching in a context with a composite ERA well over 5.00. He still has some work to do with his command, but I think he has a shot to be an outstanding pitcher, and I’ve had fleeting thoughts of ranking him first overall ahead of Crow and Matusz. I like the fact that he is a great athlete with a reasonably fresh arm in particular.
Doctor please. Some more of these.
to answer your question
Tanner Scheppers, RHP, Fresno State University: 8-2, 2.93 ERA with 109/34 K/BB in 70.2 innings, 54 hits allowed.
Doctor please. Some more of these.
Came out of Fresno State
and to answer my question below he failed to sign in the second round last year with the Pirates.
He signed on with the St. Paul Saints of the Indy league instead.
Fresno State
And it was a shoulder injury that was called a “stress fracture,” though some speculated it was worse. And yes, he’s a Boras client.
Nope, that was Gerrit Cole.
He’s now a freshman at UCLA and the odds-on favorite to be the top college player selected in the 2011 draft.
I think it was the Buccos that drafted Scheppers and couldn't ink him.

I think
that the draft position is a huge question mark outside of Strasburg, Grant Green and Matt Purke, who I think are top 5 locks baring injury.
Don't forget...
Dustin Ackley and Alex White. That’s your likely top 5 right there. My far too early guess:
1. Nats – Stephen Strasburg
2. Mariners – Grant Green
3. Padres – Dustin Ackley
4. Pirates – Alex White
5. Orioles – Matt Purke (maybe Tyler Matzek or even Donovan Tate)
Yes.

+1 and +1
Road to the Show is so addictive and they added the 40 man roster and rule 5 draft to Franchise mode (although it’s a little difficult to figure out at first)
Only major qualm: No Elvis Andrus, but I assume that they’ll add him once the regular season starts
yeah
once he’s added to the 40 man

According to Peter Gammons
Boras could demand $50MM over six years if Spephen Strasburg is drafted #1. If this is the case How far does he fall. If the Nats were not willing to pony up for Crow I doubt they will give Boras and Strasburg what they want. One can only hope the price tag is to steep for the M’s.
Keith Law on Greg Golson, "He's similiar to Cameron and Hunter in that all three are black."
I think it will end up at $20 mil.
And Strasburg is a different animal from Crow. The Nats will pony up the money.
So, the current trend is for clubs to buy out arbitration years plus a free agent year.
$50M over six years is taking the place of 3 yrs at $400-600K, plus as much as ~$10M/yr beginning the second arb year, IIRC the current arbitration contracts. That’s probably about $10M or more than a club would have paid had they given him a 3-yr ML contract with a $10M signing bonus.
JD: Adamant about 78 wins in 2009. Go Rangers!
Built in opt-outs are usually in draft contracts if they reach arbitration, too.
And he still might not reach arbitration until the 5th, maybe even 6th year, depending on if he gets hurt in the minors, etc.
With the way our pitching is coming along
I would definitely give Strasburg 6 years 50M. Am I crazy or just too caught up in all of this?
Can you imagine a future of Strasburg, Holland, Feliz, Main, Perez???

"AMMIITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABHH!!!"
Could happen to lots of people...
Doesn’t mean you don’t draft and pay for the talent (not that I think he’s worth $50 mil). Aaron Crow, discussed above, has many more mechanical issues documented than Strasburg.
#P/GS
2002 – 106.8
2003 – 113.4
I’m sure that’s a big part to his injuries.
Then again, Ryan said he wanted his starters to go deeper in games so who knows?
i think Prior's mechanics
had a lot more do do with this injuries than that…
And by the way, Prior’s and Strasburg’s are quite similar…

Jindal - 2012
"AMMIITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABHH!!!"
The workload was the killer.
There’s really no way you can dispute that. The mechanics weren’t great, but he was left out to dry. No matter how good your mechanics are, throwing that hard for that long at a young age will get you almost every time.
It would seem like...
…the way our pitching is coming along (in terms of high-upside young arms) would make you less likely to break the bank for a Strasburg, rather than more.
by Adam J. Morris on Mar 21, 2009 2:32 PM CDT up reply actions
I'm not saying there is
However, one is going to be more likely to overpay to shore up something that there is a lack of in the system, rather than a plethora of.
by Adam J. Morris on Mar 21, 2009 3:01 PM CDT up reply actions
Pick the best player on the board.
I wouldn’t give him 6/50M, though. That’s pretty much saying he’s a ML pitcher right now, and he needs to spend zero years in the minors. It’s basically Matsuzaka’s contract, but no one would argue that Strasburg is as far along as Matsuzaka was when he signed, except Boras, of course.
So, anything beyond a three-year contract just doesn’t make sense, but it’s possible to think he would be worth the dollar amount from his first arbitration year… something like 3/24, including a $12M bonus.
JD: Adamant about 78 wins in 2009. Go Rangers!
While I generally agree...
…with picking the best player on the board, if the best player on the board wants a major league deal worth $20 million over 5 years, and the second best player on the board wants a minor league deal with a $2 million signing bonus, doesn’t that have to be taken into account?
Particularly if we assume that one does not believe the difference between 1 and 2 is vast?
by Adam J. Morris on Mar 21, 2009 2:37 PM CDT up reply actions
If the difference is that close
Then yes you do take the second best player.
Keith Law on Greg Golson, "He's similiar to Cameron and Hunter in that all three are black."
In this situation...
Strasburg probably is worth the difference over anyone else in this draft. It’s just not a great draft behind him.
As a general principle, sure it's a consideration.
As it applies to Strasburg, it’s not a consideration.
So, I see no reason that a ML team would give a draft pick a 5-yr or 6-yr contract. If that’s what it comes down to, just don’t sign the dude and redraft the next year. There is no such thing as too much pitching, but a deep stable like the Rangers have can allow them to negotiate a hard line.
JD: Adamant about 78 wins in 2009. Go Rangers!
Let's use your numbers
If the second best player on the board is a guy expected to sign a minor league deal for $2mm, we’re assuming Strasburg’s fallen to the teens, where guys like Matt Davidson/Scheppers/Mychal Givens/Robbie Shields are expected to go.
If the difference between Strasburg and Grant Green is vast…imagine the difference between Strasburg and the 2nd best player in your scenario.

Heh - Festival Of Bunting Continues
With two outs and nobody on base in the first inning of Saturday’s game, Colorado, an NL club, put three players on the right side of the infield and pulled its third baseman way off the line with Josh Hamilton at bat.
So, Hamilton tried once again to bunt for a hit. He rolled one ball up the third base line foul and squared twice – with two strikes – before taking a called third strike.
I’m not sure which is stranger, the sight of Hamilton attempting to bunt or the Rockies shifting a player they won’t face this season in the first inning of an exhibition game
From EG.

Maybe Rohn told them to shift on him the first time up, to see if he could lay it down?
The worst thing about being a Rangers fan.....hope.
Its the exact situation I would hope Hamilton would use the bunt in
If he uses it in a game
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.

Buzz thinks playing better small ball would’ve put us 3 games over .500 last year? I think my ears are bleeding.
Now blogging again (temporarily) at "Hello Win Column".
Is that that big of a reach?
Thats only 4 or 5 more wins.
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 don't think more freaking bunts and hit and runs would give us that many more wins.
Maybe a manager who knows how to use them, and at the same time manage his bullpen… but even that seems like a stretch to me, considering how bad our pitching staff was last year.
Now blogging again (temporarily) at "Hello Win Column".
If anything, more bunts and hit and runs might've cost us 4-5 wins with the way Washington uses them.

I can’t freakin’ stand Carlos Baerga on BBTN…wtf is he doing on here? You can’t even understand a word he says.
The worst thing about being a Rangers fan.....hope.
not to mention
how hard it is to even look at him

i think that is it
i couldnt exactly figure out why it was so difficult to look at him
he’s really ugly but i didnt think that was it because i can manage to look at john kruk without punching a wall
but baerga has a certain thing that drives me crazy

but the remote is across the room and I don’t feel like changing the channel.
Hahaha, Baerga just said about 300 words and I maybe understood 4 of them.

Byrd with 12 RBI this spring,

OT: MLB '09
omg.
So yeah, i went and got it…started a franchise, started a season…started paying my first game, and right before the game starts vs. Cleveland, I get a message saying something like, “Trainer does not recommend Millwood to pitch tonight because of a sore elbow…”
I have Bmac starting my first game…
By the way, graphics are awesome and the gameplay is great…so far.

Urgh
I was playing my RTTS guy a week ago, I simmed mostly and he got called up to the majors to make a debut in Game 6 of the 2010 ALCS at home against Boston after David Murphy broke a finger. Got two hits, drove a run in and gunned someone down at home.
So Rangers ahead with a 7-4 lead, CJ Wilson comes in to save the game and promptly blows the lead, Rangers lose 8-7 then face a Game 7 mismatch with Mendoza against Dice-K. It’s a blowout loss, 8-2. Not cool.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
Either way
greatest baseball game ever? I’m actually thinking about placing it above MVP 05.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
oooo
That was EA’s last MLB game right?
I’ll give you that MLBTS 09 is more realistic game play and a better franchise mode, but MVP 05 had the most fun baseball gameplay ever
that made me real mad
2k should be making football and EA should be making baseball
dood
just finished my game, 3-3 going into the 9th, i bring in CJ…he gives up 3 runs…i lose 6-3. Time for a DFA.

I can't believe Hammy
is hitting .404 in the spring….wow.
The worst thing about being a Rangers fan.....hope.
Yeah, and he says he's not happy with his swing, too.
Kind of insane even though it is ST.

Thats not as unbelievable as Arias hitting 0.500
And Kins is not slouch at .390

No. 200 is more notable

The key though
6 innings pitched
If all our starters could give us 6 innings and 3 runs or less we would be a playoff team
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.
4 of 5 hits for extra bases
1×2B, 1×3B, 2×2HR
I do like the 5K against 1BB, though.

1B with Bakersfield last year, I think.
Now blogging again (temporarily) at "Hello Win Column".
Yes. 1B for Frisco (last year)
Anyone know where he will be this year? He wasn’t at Frisco very long.
by NorCalRangersFan on Mar 21, 2009 5:35 PM CDT up reply actions
Probably OKC.
Especially if Justin Smoak starts at Frisco. They want Tracy to get regular reps at first.
He should be at Frisco
though in the OF again with Smoak likely being there as well. I have got to make the drive to see that team.
Yeah, it's this Chad Tracy:

that ball will be on his mantle for a while
if he can catch the kid who ended up with it…
CJ throwin' smoke.
94mph is really strong for a lefty. Glad he seems to be back to his previous stuff.

making the trip, unfortunately. I already have my cable unhooked to move, so I’ll be catching it on radio.
