New T.R. Sullivan mailbag up

T.R. Sullivan has a new mailbag column up...

He is bullish on Ben Sheets ended up in Texas, calls Andruw Jones making the team a "dubious" proposition, and talks about Derek Holland and Neftali Feliz's potential arrival dates, among other things...

Check it out...

I love the smell of T.R. sarcasm in the morning.

It smells like baseball season.

Signature! I don't need no stinking signature!!

He's got to get worn out with stupid questions.

I like it when he gets snarky.

Better than normal

I’m sorry though Hamilton’s negotiations and Hanley Ramirez’s have very little in common.

What do voluntary mean?

by JKolar on Mar 31, 2009 9:38 AM CDT reply actions  

I know

that is so stupid for TR to use that as a comparison

one guy is one of the most talented young players in baseball entering his prime soon….the other is a player getting older with too many frightening wild cards in his corner

im all for signing josh but that comparison is silly

This snide question had to have come from someone around here...
Please explain how in the world the Rangers are going to fit John Lackey and Ben Sheets into their newly proclaimed $50 million payroll limit.

I am encouraged

by his feelings on Ben Sheets. Very encouraged.

I'm a fan

it’d be nice to trade Millwood and/or Padilla and start the second half of the season with a rotation with Sheets, Holland, McCarthy, Harrison and the remaining Millwood/Padilla or Feliz

Really? You probably shouldn't be

if sheets is thinking clearly he rents himself to a team that is sniffing a nice playoff run. That won’t be us.

by Goyogringo on Mar 31, 2009 12:51 PM CDT up reply actions  

Well, obviously

Sheets has lots of time to change his mind and see where the Rangers and other teams are when he’s ready to pitch. First he has to be able to actually pitch.

Josh Hamilton puts his pants on one leg at a time just like you but once he gets his pants on he hits baseballs 420 feet.

Charles
Why don’t y’all move Chris Davis to third, Hank Blalock at first and move Michael Young back to shortstop and put Marlon Byrd at DH?

Stupid is as stupid does

What an idiot does he even follow the Rangers? Go back to the pig farm fucker!

How stupid indeed

That said, i do wish that TR would actually answer questions like this to inform idiots like the person who sent it

obviously we know the answer is b/c we dont want our D to suck all kinds of ass…but does the average jackass know that?

by Horns130 on Mar 31, 2009 11:59 AM CDT up reply actions   1 recs

no

If by average jackass

you mean columnists from the FWST or DMN, then, of course, the answer is no.

by BEW on Mar 31, 2009 12:17 PM CDT up reply actions  

I know

But i continue to hope that they will eventually become educated…clearly an egregious oversight by myself

it looks like ill have to continue with plan A…ignore them…

by Horns130 on Mar 31, 2009 1:09 PM CDT up reply actions  

geez people

it was the starting lineup to end last year aside from byrd dh’ing

i don’t want it and if it was going to happen it would have had to have been a long time ago, but its not like the guy suggested salty at 1b, davis at 3rd, MY in CF and arias at short or something.

the preceding post was a great success.

by DShep on Mar 31, 2009 12:07 PM CDT up reply actions  

The question is

Why does he want to do that and why at this point in ST. Did he not see the train wreck on defense that the rest of us saw last year? I think that is the real question.

No crazy trade ideas

I am saddened. I look forward to those every mailbag.

Yu Darvish

Yet again, can TR not explain to people that ML teams have no chance to sign him until he wants to come to america

furthermore, can he not explain that he has publicly stated that he wants to win 200 games in Japan…

that said, he is filthy

by Horns130 on Mar 31, 2009 12:00 PM CDT reply actions  

That would take much more effort than TR...

…normally puts into his answers. TR’s mailbags would be more informative if he forwarded the questions to an LSB poster picked at random and let that poster answer them.

One of us just gets picked blindly.

Ok minus a few.

Don’t forget the Outlaw can you imagine him answering questions what a train wreck that would be.
