Why did we call up Borbon again?

I said when he was called up that he would start a couple of games and get sent down two weeks later with very few at bats. I can see not starting him against Kazmir and Price since they are tough lefties, but there is a righty tonight and he is still sitting. I know Garza is a tough pitcher, but if Borbon is going to be in the majors he needs to be getting playing time. If not, send him back to the minors so he can play everyday.

he'll get sent down when hamilton comes back

by ab03 on Jul 5, 2009 6:34 PM CDT up reply actions  

I'm sure that is the case

but if all we needed was an outfielder to sit on the bench, they would have kept Boggs in the majors. There is zero point in bringing up Borbon just so the backup catcher has company on the bench. Just a stupid way to manage the roster.

by uthornfan on Jul 5, 2009 6:36 PM CDT up reply actions  

Learn the rules before you bitch about roster decissions.

A player has to be optioned for no less than 10 days before he can be recalled. Boggs was sent north June 26th, and Bourbon recalled on the 29th.

I know the damn rules

I am saying that if we needed another outfielder to just sit the bench, we didn’t need to send Boggs down. Why send him down and just replace him with another player who will get no PT?

by uthornfan on Jul 5, 2009 6:44 PM CDT up reply actions  

As I said back then, I think Boggs was hurt/hurting.

He dislocated a shoulder last night catching a routine fly ball, just the motion of putting his arm over his head caused it. Shoulder injuries could derail his career, in my personal experience, and he has dislocated his shoulders many times.

Jamey's email
Confirmed international signings according to at least one local report: shortstops Jurickson Profar (Curacao), Luis Sardinas ( Venezuela ), and Luis Mendez ( Venezuela ), outfielder Chris Garia (Curacao), and pitcher Daniel De la Torre ( Mexico ).

Incidentally, Profar, who gained repute as an 11-year-old when he led Curacao to the 2004 Little League World Series title as that squad’s pitching ace but will play shortstop professionally, took batting practice at Rangers Ballpark today and went deep – from both sides of the plate. He’s 16.

Profar, Sardinas, and Garia are all switch-hitters and all considered premium athletes with full toolboxes (which is not to denigrate Mendez and De la Torre – I just don’t know anything about them yet). It may not be a stretch to suggest that the Rangers’ 2009 international position player class could be the club’s best since director of pro and international scouting A.J. Preller and senior director of baseball operations Don Welke were hired five years ago.

Padres and Dodgers

Padres score 5 runs in the bottom of the 9th against Billingsley and Broxton to tie the game at 6.

Broxton walks in a run to make it 6-4, then the Pads get a bases loaded single to make it 6-6, but the winning run gets thrown out trying to advance to third.

go team go!

Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."

He’s been in the majors for two years now, though, and has been the starter all year, and he hasn’t hit.
