he would succeed, just so I could see all the kick-ass GDT graphics saying “Bring the in Dozer” and “Call in the Mandozer”… you know, with Bulldozer pictures and all.

But I’ve officially given up all hope for him (which bodes well, at one time I had officially given up all hope on Nelson Cruz).

and because he plays for the Red Sox. I think he’s hitting over his head this year.

better than Mayberry, or Golson too for that matter.

As in Teacoby Bellsbury? Because I have been calling him that for years, it seems.

he’s been a huge part of the club going from worst to first in defense. Oh, wait…

Look, Young is having a nice year, but you can’t leave out half the game talking about MVP.

on April 15th.

So what?

And home stats.

And defense.

the idea that you know what Michael Young is thinking. You don’t. Young has played an important part in the team’s success this year. You need to get past the idea that somehow people here, who follow the team at least as closely as you do, are unaware of that.

This team is sitting in first place in early June. He gets to balls Face could only dream of getting too. Not to mention Elvis is hitting better than what we all thought he would. I like FFace but if he were still at ss this team might be over .500 but not where it’s at right now. JD was right to move FFace and FFace knows it.

is a leader of the rangers like tony romo is the leader of the cowboys

they are leader in name only — and while FOTF may be a quiet leader, hes not one that has been very vocal other than with what, the CJ wilson “douchebag” comment (which, for what its worth i think its pretty damn true)

i would def say that kinsler is way more of a leader of the team than young…and his actions in the offseason show that hes anything but a leader. basically he said fuck the team, i like being the SS and if you dont want me there trade me — great leadership. way to show those young players how to do it

michael young is a player that i lost a lot of respect for when he got so upset about moving to another position, and the fact that the move worked out almost perfectly for the rangers so far shouldnt be overlooked (werent you the one that was mad the rangers demanded he move positions instead of asking him politely to change?)

elvis may not be the MVP right now, but he is the posterboy for the rangers “changes” this year.

the fact of the matter is that the rangers (and anyone who looked any futher than skin deep at his defense) realized that young is a VERY overrated SS but has the tools that could and probably will transfer to 3B very well. if your looking to get your best players on the field, then whats wrong with the change they made? the black hole that was 3b last year is now plugged with a solid player (defense will come around i think), SS is now in better shape than last year…so how is it a bad thing for the rangers now or in the future?

i would agree with you 100% about him being a leader had he not demanded a trade and threw a hissy fit about moving to 3B…but that is bush league….so if the rangers trade feliz for say, chase utley (obv not gonna happen) and kinsler has to move to the OF, is it ok for him to bitch and moan about it and demand a trade?

what is any different than his situation and sori’s? other than the fact that he realized sooner than later he better move…both complained, and sori got BLASTED for not wanting to move, but you are willing to defend FOTF in almost the same situation?

come on — yes, FOTF has been a plus on offense.he also has a LONGLONGLONG way to go on defense, think of him as the reverse chris davis…if you want him to be benched for his horrible offense, then it shuold be the same for FOTF’s horrible defense — because as bad as davis has been with the bat this year, thast almost equally how bad young has been with the glove (difference is that FOTF has been one of the 5 worst defensive players in BASEBALL while davis is one of the 5 worst 1B offensive players in baseball)
