Julio Borbon called up

Haven't seen it anywhere, but at least according to a release that I just got from University of Tennessee baseball...
Former Tennessee baseball All-America performer Julio Borbon was called up to the Major Leagues by the Texas Rangers Monday. A standout centerfielder for the Volunteers from 2005-07, Borbon was drafted 35th overall by the Rangers in the 2007 MLB Draft and has been starring this summer for the Class AAA Oklahoma City Redhawks of the Pacific Coast League.
“This is a very important day for me and my family,” Borbon said. “It is so exciting and satisfying to see my dream come true. To think that just two years ago I was at Tennessee and now I’m experiencing this lifelong dream—it’s hard to describe how I’m feeling right now. I owe thanks to so many people for helping to guide me along the way.”Borbon ranked sixth in the PCL in hits, tied for sixth in triples (5), eighth in runs, tied for ninth in stolen bases and was 25th in batting average.
Texas Rangers Director of Player Development Scott Servais had an opportunity to personally evaluate Borbon and other Texas prospects during a visit to Oklahoma City last week. After being notified of his promotion, Borbon flew to Dallas on Monday and is unsure of when he’ll see his first action with the Rangers.
“I’ll be ready whenever they need me,” Borbon said.
With Borbon’s promotion, there are now 10 former Vols presently suiting up in Major League Baseball. He becomes the 35th Vol ever to play in the Majors and the third player from UT’s 2005 NCAA College World Series team to reach the big leagues (joining Luke Hochevar and Chase Headley).

wow
Wasn’t expecting that to happen. Maybe thats an indication that the team is finally fed up with Murphy/Byrd/Cruz/Jones production…

it's pretty awesome
getting a top speed threat/good defender in CF that gets hits and gets on base…and pretty soon getting a 100 mph stud in the pen are two game changing moves…add Hammy’s bat in a week, and we’ve seen a pretty drastic makeover

Not really aimed at you.
I like the Sauce, everyone knows this.
I just think it’s lame that anytime me and my fellow LSB participants in our fantasy league make mention of said league on this board we get the obligatory “Nobody cares about your fantasy team”.
I get that it’s horribly annoying when someone homer off the Rangers and then someone chimes in with a random “Well, it helps my fantasy team”, or when someone just randomly wants to discuss his fantasy team or whatever, but it’s a league I’m in with several dudes from the board and there was a rush to pick up Borbon when this news broke, I really don’t see why us discussing it is worthy of a “nobody cares”.

It's repetitive (something all boards suffer from) and there are already boards on the fantasy league's website. You know, to talk shit and what not about each other's fantasy teams.

I rarely mention my fantasy team because of the inevitable dogpile of “who cares” and similar responses. You’d think I started the wave or something.
That said, Borbon is not yet available in my Yahoo league. But I plan to snatch him, between him and Span and Kinsler I should snag that category every week.

I don't think they would bring him up unless there was a plan in place to make sure he plays everyday
This isn’t Boggs we are talking about. Borbon has been dubbed our “CF of the future” pretty much since he was drafted. I don’t think the Rangers would bring that type of player up unless they had discussed and settled on him playing everyday

Well against LAA
they go right-left-right then left-left-right against the rays. So if they are looking to only play him against righties he gets at most 3 starts and more like 2 this coming week.

His OBP is .359 against lefties in AAA.
So hopefully they don’t try to platoon him.

Agree
He is leadoff guy. His avg is lower against lefties as his slg but that is not his job. His job is to get on base. I wouldnt mind if they just played in CF, batted him leadoff (or 9 wouldnt be too bad i guess) and said the job is yours.
by Michael Cave on Jun 29, 2009 2:11 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Exactly
He has been billed as an everyday player from the day he was drafted so if they bring him up and just platoon him I will be upset. I think he is our CF for the next 6 plus years starting today

I think it depends.

If he’s doing well, I think he’ll probably stay, even if he only plays 70% of the time. (Platoon with Byrd, maybe?)

I was thinking more of a young Kenny Lofton.
Griffey had the arm tool working pretty hard as a youngster.
Borbon fits more into the “speedy as hell” kind of CF’er rather than the Griffey/Andruw pretty fast but great at everything else kind of defensive CF’ers.
Either way, though… it should be fun to watch a real CF’er patrol the ballpark for the first time in a long time.

Assuming he gets regular PT.
I think this season he’d put up something in the realm of .285/.335/.370
Nothing spectacular, but fine for a defense-y CF’er getting his feet wet in the show.
Of course he’ll prolly play once a week so we can get us some more sweet Andruw Jones and Marlon Byrd at bats.

I think we've seen
that being in the majors doesn’t mean you are going to get playing time.
Thats one of the reasons I don’t mind seeing AJ kept around. He hasn’t whined too much about lack of playing time.

Why do people compare Boggs and Borbon regardling playing time
Borbon was drafted high and given a ML deal right off the bat and the talk ever since has been he is our “CF of the future”.
Boggs was a nice player who had a breakout year in the minors and then had a shitty year in the majors last year. Boggs is not an everyday player for years down the road in many peoples eyes. Borbon is.

Mostly because many young players have been put on the bench to stay.
CD and Andrus are exceptions.
Boggs has been sitting, ditto Duran. Who’s to say Borbon will get more than one in CF start before middle of July with Byrd already getting all of the playing time out there and Hamilton due back later this week. There really isn’t a place for Borbon, just as there wasn’t a place for Boggs or Duran, except as emergency players.
I still think they would’ve brought Boggs up ahead of Borbon had Boggs not been sent down so recently.

You ignored his point though
Boggs and Duran were not considered top tier prospects or likely to be full time starters. Andrus and CD are the exceptions.. and the other two top tier future of the team type prospects… not a coincidence. There are some guys you promote because you need a body and some guys you promote because you think they can help.

Hit the nail right on the head
And I think most of the reason Boggs sat is because last year he got everyday playing time and did not do very well.
When you bring up players who you feel are cornerstone type players you don’t sit them on the bench. I think the Rangers view Borbon as that type of player.

They made a spot for Andrus by moving MY. CD had a spot because of an injury. No space has been made for Borbon.

Borbon's defense
I want to make sure that i have an accurate view of his D. I have heard that he can cover a lot of ground in the OF but sometimes takes some bad routes and an avg at best arm. Also, that he will probably end up being a plus defender in CF. Am i right/wrong?
by Michael Cave on Jun 29, 2009 2:18 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Haven't heard about the bad routes
His arm is not great but he apparently has good glove to hand transfer and his range will be a huge asset.

The Rangers are only going to carry so many outfielders.
For now: Cruz, Borbon, Hamilton, Murphy, Byrd, Jones. In the event of a move of one or more of those players, Boggs had been discussed as a possible 4th outfielder for the rest of this season, platooning with Murphy. Hard to see that happening now, unless Borbon is only up for a short stay. Otherwise, Boggs is a 7th outfielder, which doesn’t bode well for the rest of his 2009 (and, for that matter, for his future with the Rangers).

When has Boggs been discussed as a 4th OF for the remainder of this season?
I think that has been fully dependant on someone getting traded.
As for his future…..Byrd and Jones are gone after this season. So next season we will roll with an OF of Borbon, Hammy, Cruz, Murphy, Boggs.

No worries.
As for the future: Boggs as a 5th outfielder makes sense if nobody else challenges, but he’ll be 27 rolling into 2010, for what I believe will be his 6th season in the minors, without much of a track record of MLB success. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Rangers find someone else to bring along…

Yah, that'd be nice, but at some point you have to look at the guy and either trust him a bit or DFA his ass.
Cause if last year’s dominance + this year’s first three months didn’t convince you to have some faith in the guy, then just cut him now, cause very few players (if any) are going to put up consistently dominant numbers throughout the whole season.
People slump, and Cruz has a rep as being streaky, so he’s gonna have his fair share of slumps.

So the video starts off with the Silver Nissan going down the road and approaching the intersection, then it squeezes between stopped cars and goes into the intersection where it gets T-boned by a burgundy truck that the announcer guy thinks is black. So then the car comes to a stop and the cops come up to it and stuff… after a few minutes of that, they start trying to find the other truck, which is in plain sight blocking a couple of lanes of traffic but the announcer can’t find it. He has the camera guy zoom in on a black Dodge that’s also there and says that’s it… then says “maybe not. There should be a lot of damage. He knocked the shit out of that other car.” The video then goes completely silent, and they soon find the actual truck in the accident, a burgundy Chevy.

It got them in first place for about 58 days, immeasurably aided the pitching staff, set a precedent for other guys on the farm, and brought a ton of attention to the franchise, as well as putting a ton of butts in the seats.

Not a fair question
you have to ask this before the season.
Before the season, they determined that Elvis was ready. Now that it’s been proven that he has, I think it looks like a great decision for the reasons Rodney listed.
Yes, we are all aware that we now control him for one less year. But the concerns over his potential free agency would have been irrelevant if we hadn’t seen what we’ve seen.

I was asking this before the season
And especially since this season was viewed as a developmental year and not a competitive one at the start then utilizing a full year extra of control on a player should have been an easy decision. Elvis has showed he was ready and looks to be a guy who is gonna be a hell of a player for a long long time. We may very well resign him and he never sees free agency but that doesn’t mask the fact that we made a fundamentally stupid decision in not Longoriaing him to start this season.

My point
is that it is futile to have this discussion right now. Your sentiment is out of place in this thread.
If you were questioning Elvis’ presence before the season, that’s fine. But now that he is here, you cannot use his performance as evidence that you were right. The team clearly felt that it needed those 21 days of Elvis’ impact, which trumps the year of control when you consider the ripple (multiplier) effects.

I thought it was one of the biggest mistakes JD has made to not start Elvis in AAA for a month. His performance made most of us stop talking about it though.
I still don’t think you can argue having him for an extra year against an extra month this year.

Eh, like Chase said-time value of money.
This franchise was kinda in the shitter before Elvis was added to the roster. The team would not be winning w/o him in the roster. They could not afford another slow start if they expected to sell any tickets. AND, this was before we learned of Hicks’ money issues.
Also, how much better does this place look to any/all FA pitchers right now?
You are thinking way too inside the box/fantasy league here, no offense intended.

Ah, well, Vizquel is the kicker.
Plus you have the complications from “I thought we were moving off MY for the stud prospect, not the 40 y/o retread!”
I’m going to go against the conventional wisdom on this because I think the team was in dire need of Elvis. We needed him and all the repercussions that come along with a young, cornerstone player having success. If Elvis isn’t here, are they as patient with Davis?
This way, they can sell it as a developmental year, but also try to compete and make things interesting.

I think we have a lack of threat on this team
pre-2009. Kinsler’s fast, can get it done…Cruz has some speed. We added Andrus, and he’s got a pretty big impact there, but I think Borbon’s going to be a bit more difficult on the basepaths than any of the others mentioned. And I consider that game changing. Watching Gardner, Ellsbury, Pierre, etc. against us this year just KNOWING that if they got on base we’d be down another run is tough to watch, and you see the hairs on our pitcher’s necks raise up when they do get on. It will be very nice to have a top speed threat is all I’m saying, and to me, I think it’s a game changer.
