Sunday a.m. Rangers stuff

Jeff Wilson writes that Derek Holland did a better job mixing in his offspeed pitches last night, rather than just relying on his fastball has he has in past starts.
Ron Washington thinks Kevin Millwood, Michael Young, and Ian Kinsler deserved to be named to the All Star team.
Evan Grant thinks Chris Davis should be benched so the Rangers can play Hank Blalock every day. At this point, I can't really argue for Davis to stay in the lineup...however, I do think that it is worth noting that Blalock is already playing every day against righthanders, and playing him every day means he also faces lefties, who he has a 623 OPS against this season and a 654 OPS against over the course of his career. So I don't think having Blalock play against lefties instead of Davis is going to do anything positive for the offense...realistically, the main impact of benching Davis is getting Andruw Jones more playing time against righthanders.
Jim Reeves has a very positive column up about the Rangers' chances this year and going forward, and suggests that the team could land Josh Willingham for a couple of lesser prospects to help bolster the lineup.
Richard Durrett has a story up about Twitter and social networking and how teams and athletes are embracing it.
Brett Perryman looks at the various options the Rangers have for their bullpen down the stretch.

Josh Willingham?
He’s not a bad player, but how many OFers do people think the Rangers need?

Getting more time
of Andruw versus righties and getting Davis some place, say A ball, where he might get turned around, is enough reason to send Davis down. At this point its only wishful thinking to believe Davis will get it on track without a trip down to the minors.
I might even just move Hamilton to DH and use a Jones/Blalock platoon at 1B or a Jones/Blalock/Hamilton platoon at 1B/DH when Hamilton is back.

Why all the way to A ball?
He won’t see the type of pitching he needs to see to get his timing back. He’s seeing pitches alright (only Murphy sees more pitches per AB), but his timing is so out of whack that he can’t hit pitches that he knows are strikes.
by Redcaps on Jul 5, 2009 11:12 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Just to get him back hitting
as soon as possible. Once he has a good week, bring him to AA. Smoak is at AAA, or I’d bring him there after he rakes at A for a week or so.

I think Frisco is far enough
He can be watched closely by the team there and maybe some of the better attributes of Moreland, Smith, and Whittleman (patience and contact) would rub off on him.

I think as far as patience and contact
to some extent, Chris is what he is. My guess is he is always going to be a high strikeout/mediocre walk guy. Hopefully they can just get him seeing the ball well enough to be a .250-.270 hitter in the majors.

They could still do a switch off of first base and DH between Smoak and Davis.
In fact, to get Davis more AB’s, I’d hit him 2nd or 3rd at AAA. I just don’t think he’d see much better than what he can get at batting practice in Class A.

Local TV has authority over National in the local market...
However, on Sundays, ESPN has national exclusivity, so are the only ones broadcasting and thus why we don’t have FSSW today. That’s why tonight’s we’ll be able to see on ESPN in DFW area. However any non-Sunday ESPN game, FSSW/my27 has authority and that’s why the ESPN one gets blacked out because it falls under local TV and thus local advertising revenue.
There is an exception for Sunday night summer games by the Rangers at home. Rangers are allowed to play non-national TV games on Sunday nights and broadcast the games on FSSW/my27, but those games are blacked out to everyone else in the nation on mlb.tv etc because ESPN is supposed to have exclusive national coverage.

that it isn’t a big deal that Kinsler was slighted. Its not a complete rip off, like Hamilton getting in despite being DLed and sucking most of the season.
I really think Millwood not being in is a bigger injustice.

For me, the best 2B in the AL not making the AS game could be the bigger joke
Millwood’s done a great job this season, but I do agree with AJM a bit in that the defense has played a huge role in success this season and there are a few guys I think who have as strong of a case as him to make the AS Game. Wakefield though is far from being one of those guys.

Zobrist was in, last I checked.
Its basicly a coin flip between Kinsler and Hill, so they got the best 2B, and one of the guys who is tied for 2nd best 2B made it.

The AllStar game should be about what is going on in the current year.
Now, it doesnt always hold true to that but for the most part it does. So with Hill having better stats this year, would indicate that he is having a better year than Kins this year. This isnt a vote as to who is the best player at their position, its who is having the “allstar” caliber year and Kis just istn.
And you are an idiot to think Zobrist is a piece. He has having an AMAZING year, but defensively and at the plate.

I don't particularly care about RBIs
Kinsler has a .285 EQA, Hill a .287 EQA, so they are pretty much a coinflip offensively.
Kinsler has been better defensively.

He has 10 wins
I’m amazed that this many people are surprised with the selection. Wins and losses are still hilariously overvalued among baseball types. Hell, during BBTN they were debating whether or not Wakefield deserved to start the game.

Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?

They really should have a retired manager or out of work manager do the all star games so that manager’s don’t feel they have to select a bunch of their own players.

That and Pedroia just piss me off
Pedroia shouldn’t be starting the game as a 2B and Wakefield has no business in making the AS Game unless he was playing for the A’s. Millwood may not have deserved to go as one of the starters, but he sure as hell deserved it over Wakefield.

Yeah, I think
Milly not getting in is a bigger deal.
Kinsler got robbed by a fan vote at the same time Hamilton got in because of the fan vote. Hill versus Kinsler seems real defendable to me. Maybe if Kinsler doesn’t slump so much it becomes an outrage, but its really tough to call Hill over Kinsler an outrage.

if you (and i mean everyone) is going to bitch about Kins not getting
Then you should all be bitching about Tori Hunter not getting. There is NO reason, baseball wise, that Hammy should even be in the top 10, but he is bc the way the vote works. dont just talk shit about Pedroia (which i cannot stand) making it and not do the same about Hunter not making it over Hamilton. It just makes you (everyone) sound like complete Ranger homers. And i know we all are but if you are going to act one way bc its our player and a different way for someone else, its pretty stupid.

maybe you should watch some games involving aaron hill, zobrist and others etc. and every1 saying at least we got Hammy in is dumber than bitching about IK not getting in.
Hammy hasnt contributed shit to this team this season and he’s starting. MY is an AS 2b maybe HOF 2b who is playing out of position and isnt up to par at 3b although his bat is indisputable. He’s as close to a AS as we have this season. be happy we have 2. Milly should be in, but Hammy shouldnt. we should no matter what only have 2 AS’s this season
thats what we have. get over it.

PEOPLE DONT START AS GAMES B/C THEY DESERVE IT
get the hell over it.
Mike Schmidt got in one year and had been retired the whole season, never played a game. he won the starting vote at 3b. Its the AS game. People get dicked over and 150 posts crying about how the .256 BA 2b got F’d out of his deserving role is dumb, when your CFer is starting and hasnt contributed dick or played regularly in months.
They screwed over the rangers!!! my ass. they gave 2 spots to 2 players and one isnt a good fielder at that position at all but gets it done and the other hasnt played regularly in months. We coulda had more, sure, but we coulda had just 1 and i wouldnt have been surprised. we coulda had 2 and they were totally different guys and i dont think we woulda gotten screwed. Did any1 really think we’d have 4 All Stars? And then cry bloody murder if we didnt?

interesting tidbit from driveline mechanics
Ryan Howard, in his career, has struck out 786 times in 2374 plate appearances. That is a 33% K rate.
Albert Pujols, in 807 plate appearances when the count has reached 0-2, has struck out 191. That is a 24% K rate.
Ryan Howard is nearly 33% percent more likely to strike out given a 0-0 count than Pujols given an 0-2 count.

I kind of like him having 6 all star games in a row. Although even with the slump of course defense has kins much more valuable.
