Wednesday a.m. Rangers news

PrintAnthony Andro notes that this was Kevin Millwood's first win since Opening Day, although Millwood says that the important thing is that the team win, regardless if he gets the win or not.
Evan Grant says the Rangers don't have an ace, but they may have a horse in Millwood, who told Mike Maddux that he still had something left after 7 innings and wanted to go back out there for the 8th.
Josh Hamilton's exam came back good -- Dr. Meister says that Hamilton just has a strained muscle in his rib cage, and so while he is in "extreme pain," it doesn't sound like he'll have to go to the disabled list.
Marlon Byrd will be playing center field while Hamilton is out, and there are some additional notes on some pitchers in that item as well.

I hope they don't rush Josh back
I really don’t see much point. He seems uncomfortable enough with his swing, I can’t imagine trying to get back quickly with bad ribs will help much.
4/10/09 - Josh Hamilton's last walk.

I was just going to say that
Facing a lefty-heavy A’s rotation while in an offense that is very strong even without Hamilton – no reason to bring him back.
It seems like one of the toughest parts of managing a MLB team is figuring out when your players are injured and keeping them on the bench long enough to heal. It isn’t enough for Hammy to say he’s ready to play – of course he wants to play. They should start poking his sore rib and watching him grimace. When you can hit him there and it doesn’t hurt, he can play. Hamilton rushing back while injured does no good for himself or this team.
I think I'd put him on the DL
as a precautionary measure, if nothing else. As both of you say, there just isn’t any upside at all to him coming back too soon, and there is no need to play multiple games short handed.
If you take the worst pitching staff in baseball, then add Kris Benson and Jason Jennings, what do you have???
surprise!!! You have the worst pitching staff in baseball, that's what.
I had enough of that last year with Bradley
If Hamilton isn’t going to be able to contribute anything past a PH appearance in the next week or so, just put him on the DL and let him rest and get back to 100%.

Agreed.
At worst, he gets healthy early and spends some extra time recuperating. Not the end of the world.
it's going to be difficult to just bench Millwood
when he gets close to 180 IP if he’s still our best pitcher.
Even if he keeps performing the way that he has, he’s not worth keeping around at next year’s salary that would become guaranteed.

He is if he
stays consistent like this and at the very least he’d be trade bait next year as well.
After the show I want Greg Oden to tuck us both in and tell us stories about the old days. - Will Ferrell
Yeah
If Millwood pitches well enough for his extension to vest, he’ll have at least enough value for someone out there to be willing to take on his contract for a cheap prospect or something, probably even more if he’s been really effective. I doubt the Rangers are going to be stuck with him. That was a pretty smart structuring…
I think the Rangers would like to keep him though
I don’t know if Millwood will pitch this well next season or even if he’ll keep it up for the rest of this season, but our rotation is too young and questionable to go into next year without a veteran like Millwood.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
They may
I’d say that depends somewhat on what Millwood’s value looks like, whether a certain Ben Sheets is with the Rangers and healthy, and how our young pitchers are doing.
If Sheets signs with the Rangers, and four of B-Mac, Holland, Feldman, Harrison, and Feliz look solid, then you don’t need Millwood (though you would have a pretty nice rotation with him in there). But those are big ifs…
I don't know
You’re in that mindset that we’re all in – that any Ranger-developed pitcher can’t help front the rotation. I think the fascinating thing about the guys I listed is that one or two of them may yet develop into front half of rotation guys (Holland and BMac particularly) by next year. We’ll see.
You’re probably right. I just don’t want you to be :)
Feliz
I think that by next year Feliz might be ready to be our number one starter. if he conquers his current command issues at AAA, then he’ll be up by August 1 (especially if we deal Padilla at the deadline) (or if we’re in contention, then we leave him on the farm and do something else).
I think Holland makes a great number 2 starter.
Imagine Feliz throwing 95 to 100 MPH with sink as our ace (Kevin Brown with an extra 5 mph), then having to face Holland and his 96 MPH cutter, then Millwood’s collection of random pitches, then BMac’s heater and curve, then Harrison’s left handed slop, then back to Feliz.
I like that rotation.
If Feliz straightens things out and comes up by Aug 1....
there’s no friggin’ way he’s the #1 next year. That’s a whopping 1/3 of the season to acclimate AND seize the #1 spot.. Nuh-uh.
The Texas Rangers have been synonymous with explosive firepower ever since they emptied 130 rounds into Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow in 1934. - Alyssa Milano
pessimistic
I am pessimistic right now on Feliz. I think the best he could do is harnest his FB this year and be on the Holland plan next year.

Yes he would
If he keeps pitching like this and stays healthy he is worth keeping next year.
So I guess if you were the GM or the manager and the Rangers are rolling along in the playoff race you would just bench one of your best pitchers? Sorry but that is just stupid. You would be telling the rest of the team that winning is top priority and what kind if message would that send to the young kids?

Next year even with Millwood our payroll is around 50 million
If he keeps this up it would be stupid to let him walk or trade him away
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.
honestly
if he keeps pitching like he is and even if he regresses back to his FIP so far, the guy would be a steal at the 12 Mil we’d save by letting him go
Chris (NJ): I am personally offended at how you ranked a prospect from my favorite team, even though I do not know said prospect, nor have I ever seen him play. In my opinion you only have your job because, like your employers, you have an unholy bias towards my favorite team’s rival. Also, you’re short.
Keith Law: You’re right. I am short.
Depends on what you'd get in return
If the BoSox, Rays, or someone gets desperate and wants to overpay for him, you have to listen. I think it’s win-win: If he’s still here next year, it means he pitched the requisite innings. If he’s traded, hopefully JD can pull a couple prospects for him. I say trade him.
So long, MIllwood and thanks for all the fish.
That's why they call them business sox
only problem there is we really dont need more prospects
i know you can always get more prospects, but what we really need is starting pitching. In that simple way, trading Millwood is illogical since we dont need to bulk up the system at all. Furthermore we have no need positions at the big league level
OF is full, C set, infield set…what would you trade for that actually makes you better than what Millwood provides…if millwood is as good as he is in this hypothetical scenario
The only way I trade Millwood for next season
Is if we need the spot in our starting rotation. So that would mean that Millwood would have to finish the season as mediocre probably while Feldman, McCarthy, Holland, and Harrison impress a lot this season.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
I can't imagine why they would
if he can pitch like that, they have him for one more contract year.

Really?
I think anybody who can post a sub 4.00 ERA for us and give us 200 IP is more than worth the 12 Million that we’d save if we let him loose… Well, well worth the money, Im not sure were you are getting that thought from. There are guys worse than Milly getting more guaranteed money

well if the economy still sucks next offseason...
I could see guys like John Lackey or Rich Harden signing for $12M (maybe slightly above those amounts).
I’d much rather have either of those guys than Millwood…even if it takes $15M.

the only way those guys
sign for under 15 mil is if they continue to prove that they are injuries waiting to happen. As of right now, that looks ilke its gonna be the case, and I have a really, really hard time as a GM investing over 10 Million towards a pitcher who is an injury waiting to happen. Milwood can at least be counted on to give us 150 solid IP and right now, Id count on him to go 180 to 200 IP next year again.

Keith Law: You’re right. I am short.
What are our chances at either of those guys?
Serious chances? We’d have to seriously overpay to get either of them IMO which makes Millwoods 12 mil look really good, if he keeps this up.
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.
it just seems like to me that $12M is better spent elsewhere
than on a pitcher who will give you 180-200IP of 4.50-5.00 ERA ball.
Do you really think there is $12M difference between Millwood and Matt Harrison even? Right now perhaps with Millwood pitching fairly well, but we all know that Millwood will regress back to being an average pitcher (yet still our best one).
He’s obviously better than Harrison and others like him, but I’m looking for difference makers in my pitching staff…not people I’m indifferent about.
Greatest Inventions Ever? 1. TiVO, 2. Boobs, 3. Baseball
Will Millwood regress?
He has shown before he can be a sub 3 ERA pitcher. He probably will regress some but so far i would say its gonna be hard to convince me hes gonna fall all the way to a mid 4’s ERA guy.
And if you think this staff next year without a veteran leadman is going to get you to the playoffs I think you are sorely mistaken. If we could get Lackey or Harden that would be great but i highly doubt we have a legit shot at either of them. Sheets is a wildcard. He could come back in pre-injury form or he could come back and be like jason Jennings was last year. We just don’t know. Millwood locked in at 12 million, right now, looks like a bargain and if he keeps this up i see no reason not to have him back next year
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.
no, no, no
the economy is going to effect the average player
very good, younger players are still going to get their big time pay days b/c they are still in high demand from a lot of teams
the 30 year old plus guys that can be replaced in a decent capacity by a 25 y.o is the guy that cant find the big money

I missed last night's GDT...
Was anyone confused by Wash moving Jones over to play first, rather than using Hank and having Murphy DH?
Granted, Andruw made a good play at first, but I just figured that Hank was the natural choice.
Hank was the DH
and CD got thrown out of the game. If RW had put Hank at 1B he would have lost the DH. He had no choice but to put AJ there.
Elvis Andrus - 2009 AL Rookie of the Year
Ah, right.
I completely forgot that you can’t move a player from DH to a position on the field without losing the DH spot.
Thanks.
i once got into a 10 minute argument with a guy at the ballpark about that
and some yankees fan had to help me out. i was very upset about the whole thing

No, you can't.
Once the DH takes the field, the pitcher takes the batting spot. Which in a blowout game, isn’t all that big a deal (I’d say people avoid it more than necessary), since you can just send up Vizquel or someone when the pitcher comes up to bat, if necessary (and heck, in a blowout you may as well give a guy like Millwood a shot to practice for interleague).
But that game yesterday had the feel of one that could go very long, and you don’t want to have a pitchers spot in the lineup going into extra innings. Because you don’t have enough pinch hitters, and you are getting into pitchers who have never swung a bat professionally – so injuries happen.

Not worth the injury risk.
If its a blowout I highly doubt your starter is still out there

Hopefully it was just due to them seeing him for the first time, hopefully they’ll adjust.

i dont get the idea that he’s gonna throw much harder than 92… however, he’s got a good curve so he should be an effective pitcher for them for a while, I just dont see dominance in his reportoire.

That curveball
had a ton of break, but I thought a lot of them were caught at the top of where the strike zone should be. They were surely high as they crossed the plate.
This game was a terrible time for pitch f/x to be down The one good thing is that I think Millwood had the same large strike zone, Anderson’s curve just took better advantage of it.
yeah, there were several pitches
on both sides I wanted to see on the ol’ f/x.
Based on reaction from the hitter’s, that ump was rather douchey.

Have to get further out into the swamps or toward the gulf (south Lafourche/Terrebonne parish) for the accent to get really noticeable. Many people in Thibodaux/Houma have little or no noticeable accent. The NYC/NJ-sounding accent is more New Orleans and surrounding area.
Im not so sure about that..
I’ve known people from Tupelo, and while it was bad enough to the point where it started messing with the way I talked after i was around them for a while, there are some people from LA that you can not actually understand when they talk. I’ve literally sat there dumbfounded for about five minutes trying to understand what this one guy from the deeper cajun parts of LA i worked with on a summer crap job was trying to tell me… It was amazing to hear someone speak the English language so differently that i actually could not comprehend anything he was saying.

the game yesterday illustrated two things
we have a pretty damn good starter and a pretty damn good closer, and that’s about it. as nice as it is to have millwood eating innings with an ERA of 2, I would trade that in for 5 guys going six innings every game and giving up three runs. Like I said yesterday, I can’t really let myself get excited about this team until we have more starters with an ERA under 7 than over 7.
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
The one thing that im encouraged by
is that i think we have 4 other guys that are capable of doing what you are saying. Although, some consistency would be nice.
If we somehow manage to get the other four guys ERA under 5.50 by the end of the year with a few below 5, I actually think we could be in good shape.

Josh Hamilton lifted weights and worked out some after Tuesday’s game and said he felt OK doing it. He took some medication after seeing Dr. Keith Meister and the club wants to see how he feels today and Thursday. Hamilton doesn’t want to go on the disabled list.

Posted by Habib @ 10:03 AM Wed, Apr 29, 2009
Looks like Millwood is gonna have enough innings so that his option for next year would kick in and since CHEAP Hicks was counting to get rid of his salary for next year,hence the only way that is going to happen is a trade.
Now I am not a fan of Milwood and I think he took the contract and started playing golf and eating food only but I think the fact that CHEAP Hicks is hard pressed for cash and will trade him in fact is a good thing and now it is up to blunder boy to demonstrate that he can take available trading chip in Millwood and get the Yanks,Dodgers and Red soxs in a bidding frenzy and extract a handsome return for Millwood.
Memo to blunder boy deal with the Dodgers and Ned “mustache” Colletti because he happens to be as incompetent as our blunder boy.
DO NOT deal with the CWS or tigers or else they will treat you like a baseball card collecting nerd that you are and pick your pocket again and you will make another Danks,Laired or Galarraga deal.

haven’t checked it out yet, but I can’t help but laugh for 10 seconds every time I say it.

Did the same two weeks ago
A buddy of mine swears by the place, when I first saw the sign I chuckled and sighed at the same time. Good Crown and Cokes though. Jamie = great bartender

Dave Cameron on Andruw Jones
He’s making contact again, but more importantly, he’s hitting the ball hard. The Dodgers have to be wondering where this was a year ago, because right now, Jones looks as good as he ever has. We talked about the potential for him to pull a Jermaine Dye and rebound in a big way… that looks more likely every day.
Talent doesn’t just evaporate. Jones earned his way to the majors at 19 because he was a remarkably gifted individual. Those abilities are still in there. Kudos to the Texas Rangers for giving him an opportunity to find them again.

oh i see...
I was going to ask you if you wanted to go on Sunday night. I was going to treat to the best available seats but if you’re going with a friend it’s cool :)

oh
well lets keep in touch about it. I just sent out some emails to friends but if I don’t hear anything back I’ll let you know. I actually know of a few rangers fans (well Texans anyway) that might come out.

If Millwood is a horse
why would you have him pull a yoke? That’s a gross misuse of talent
that was a yoke did you get the egg?
(Wife) "So what do you want to watch on the T.V.? UFC or porn?"
(Husband) "Hmm... well, porn, I guess."
Doubleheader tomorrow
if the game gets rained out tonight?
Doesn’t look like there are any other dates to make this game up.
