Evan Grant
9:26: Maybe this is an emotional decision, but based on the reaction of the fans and his teammates and just his flat-out performance, I think there is no way the Rangers can put Holland in a deal for Halladay now. If it costs them Halladay, it costs them Halladay. And if it forces Toronto to hold on to him rather than trade him to Boston or Philadelphia, all the better. This has been an incredible night and one I predict will be revisited a number of times at the end of this season after all the results are in.
I agree. If we do trade for Halladay no way Holland is in it.

If I remember correctly, Ron Washington was the manager last year, too
Maybe he’s teaching something this year, that he didn’t do last year.
Or it could be the fact that we have a fucking good defensive shortstop this time, to go along with our pitch-to-contact pitching.

there is also a rational reason not to trade him now
and that is the fact that you have the chance at plugging him into the rotation every 5th day the rest of the year and him being so good that halladay realyl wouldn’t be enough of an improvement.
still say a feliz trade will probably be offered to toronto (hopefully minus smoak) but given that holland has shown himself to be pretty close, it just doesn’t make sense to trade for halladay (given what else you would be giving up). Actually, that is a bit of an overstatement since its one game against Seattle but you would at least start to think along those lines

9:23pm: ESPN.com’s Buster Olney reports that, as of an hour ago, the Jays had no active talks about Halladay. The Dodgers approached the Jays yesterday, but the two sides aren’t in the process of exchanging names.
8:38pm: MLB.com’s Jordan Bastian hears that there’s “nothing to” the reports that the Rangers are going hard after Halladay.
8:30pm: Evan Grant of D Magazine hears that talks between the Blue Jays and Rangers remain “very serious.”

i'm pretty sure there were some mentions of david mcdavid
without any serious talks and people (front office types) immediately saying that a deal wouldn’t happen until at least the offseason.

dont be THAT guy. Everyone knows someone who knows someone. Unless you have a direct line to Ryan or Daniels, you dont have a “source”. Also, it is pretty apparent that there are some rangers and FO personnel that read this board. If you were to stab your source in the back (i.e. spill the beans about something on here that hasnt reached the media) then im pretty sure instructions would come down to that “source” of yours not to divulge a thing. Just a thought…

Seems alot of our deals are the same
I go this far for him:

Holland and Smoak are off limits
I am willing to change Perez for Feliz
I am also willing to exchange any combination of players at the bottom of the deal (Bevean, Kiker)
I would prefer to keep Borbon….but if they had to have him i could live with it.

Update from Bob Nightengale (who?)
Nolan Ryan just said they actively are seeking Toronto Roy Halladay, but suggested that LHP Derek Holland won’t be part of any deal.
“It’s still premature to make a prediction whether it will happen,‘’ Ryan said of a deal for Holladay. "Obviously., we’d like to have him.

But I think AJ will probably be able to get someone to tell him they will start him next year… I’m not sure the Rangers will do that, they might plan to give Davis/Smoak the first shot and deal with it from there.

to add a P, though Halladay would be a helluva get, to me the cost isn’t worth it. I just added that part for those who feel a SP is a necessity. We are getting a little thin, but the king’s ransom for starters is too rich for my liking.

My MY theory
Last year he didn’t get his 200 hits, breaking his streak. Now that he’s not as concerned about getting 200 hits, he’s swinging with a bit harder, giving up average (potentally, but not really in this case) for power.

Could be
But if you give credence to what he said near the end of spring training, the break on each hand really hampered him, and he does go after the max number of hits he can get. The difference is that he finally did what some had been begging for for three years – got off the back end of the batter’s box, and moved a couple inches closer to the plate. Since he was beaned and had to have surgery (ear and temple) in ‘06 spring training, he’s been back and deep, and vulnerable to two areas of the strike zone where he used to hit pretty well – down and away and up and away. This year, not so much. He’s always had fence or better power, but sees his job as getting hits.

If I had to pick 2
I’d probably go with Smoak and then it gets tough for me between Holland and Perez. I’d probably go with Holland.

My guess is Smoak and Feliz, but I think Holland has a good chance.
I pick Feliz over Holland because I can’t think of any prospects that could throw 100+ and ended up being busts. I’m sure some of the prospect-nerds here can name a bunch. I’d love to see 3 of 4 make it.

Capellan comes to mind
And Zumaya isn’t setting the world on fire. When he throws a pitch It’s as likely to wind up behind the ump as it is in the catcher’s mitt. Not to mention his injury problems.

I think there is a good chance
that its 3 of 4. Its still a fun game to play.
As far as guys who have thrown over 100 and were never much, here’s a partial list.
Kyle Farnsworth
Joe Table
Guillermo Mota
Dustin McGowan
Jorge Julio
I’m sure there are others. Jose Mesa had some decent years, but I still think of him as a choker, so I acknowledge personal predudices with him.

The others all had “careers” in the majors. I think that has to be considered “not bust”. Certainly not stars, but not busts either.

Wow, Nightengale fucking blows
Here’s a more complete write-up of Nolan’s comments.
The “him,” of course, is Roy Halladay. Rangers president Nolan Ryan talked about it just after the Rangers’ 7-1 win over Toronto on Thursday.
“Obviously, we’d like to have him, but there are players who are a big part of our future that we’d like to retain,” Ryan said. “We have players we don’t want to part with. You have to give up somebody you don’t want to part with to get a guy like Halladay.”
Ryan said it would depend on the combination of players that were on the table and the club’s areas of depth.
“We’ve had discussions with them,” said Ryan, referring to the Toronto Blue Jays, adding that lots of names have been talked about. “It’s still premature to make a prediction as to whether it’s going to happen.”
Ryan added that he spoke with Rangers GM Jon Daniels a few times during the game and that Daniels is working the phones.
Ryan was also impressed with Derek Holland’s performance and wouldn’t say whether Holland’s performance impacted what the club might do.
That makes it sound a lot less likely that a deal is going to happen.

General manager Jon Daniels said this when asked about Derek Holland’s availability in a possible trade with the Toronto Blue Jays after the rookie left-hander allowed two hits in 8 2/3 innings: “We didn’t have any more interest in trading him at 7 p.m. than we did at 10 p.m.”

I might do naked cartwheels across the Ranger’s diamond over the weekend….
Never will happen though….

Well crap. Again, I only do this deal if I only lose one of the near major league ready guys. Feliz/Holland, Smoak and Borbon are all in the group I’d only want to give one up of. Not that Borbon is untouchable, just that I’d rather include someone with a higher ceiling who’s farther away.

if there is any talk of jays taking on money, this doesn’t end well for the rangers. best we can hope for is no deal – but there’s no point to go down this road at all

QUESTION
If we trade for Halliday, would he pitch Sunday?

no, he pitched today.
So.. tuesday, assuming we move the rotation to suit him.
the preceding post was a great success.
