Hank is 7 runs below a zombie replacement at first base. Do you realize how terrible that is? Zombie’s can’t think, they’re slow, and they’re often ejected from the game for eating opposing baserunners’ brains. - Ben quantifies Hank Blalock

You know how on Facebook

they post Rangers news? Well, today they posted something about Wash wanting to keep Byrd (god I hope not) and someone down the comments section said that quote.

Oh. Ya know, on a side note...

I do have a feeling we’re going to waste our money on Byrd this winter. The org just likes him too fucking much.

I'd rather Borbon be patrolling CF than Byrd

Cheaper for the same value defensively (minus the arm, but how many times are runners thrown out?). But of course we are the Rangers, I only hope JD and whoever the new owner is (hopefully Greenberg) lets him walk.

In regards to Julios arm

The one area where it will make a difference in center is opposing runners going first to third. It’s not so much about throwing guys out, but that might be the one area of his game where the opposition will take advantage of him. I’m pretty sure that’s why they’re scared to put him in CF this year.

Truth be told, if he can hit like this over a full season and turn into a Carl Crawford type, he might be best suited for LF (and after all, LF at the RBiA is quite big).

He's a big peice if he comes back healthy and duplicates or comes close to '08

But until he actually does, he’s just another giant question mark to me.

Well, I'm certain he can be replaced via free agency

if we decide not to pursue a long-term deal (isn’t he locked up until 2012?). But he’s not going to get that contract he wants if he doesn’t produce.

by jdh90 on Sep 26, 2009 6:33 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

To me, even when he's healthy he's the type of guy who needs someone else

(like say Bradley) around him in the lineup to really be succesful. When the lineup rests on his shoulders, or at least when he thinks it does his approach seems to go to crap and he gets himself out.

i want no part of Bradley

but I’d be all over an Abreu or Dye. Bradley is a headache and you cannot count on him. Abreu is at the top of my list.

Unless the new owner gets control of the team before the winter

meetings, I wouldn’t count on Abreu being apart of the 2010 Rangers.

Besides, Bradley was on pretty good behavior in Texas.

by jdh90 on Sep 26, 2009 6:42 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Abreu is gonna be at the top of a lot of lists this winter

The more I think about it, I think a lot of guys like Abreu, Nick Johnson and Thome will be in much more of a demand this winter than last, as teams will want to catch the same lightning in a bottle that the Angels did this year.

Bradley looks like the cheapest option, and as much as I hate Ron, babysitting Bradley is the one area where his people skills can provide some tangible production.

i just don't think we can expect a repeat

of Bradley’s career year in ‘08 on or off the field. I would only take the man if we don’t pay any salary and the prospect cost would be very insignificant. That is the only way.

Abreu is going to get a hefty deal

Probably 3 years at $30-35 million.

Is he still at the top of your list at that price?

by Adam J. Morris on Sep 26, 2009 6:44 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

i think you and lonestar are right

he probably is out of our price range. What about Dye? I doubt he gets a huge multi-year deal with his decay at the end of this season.

I’m worried about this off-season and our ability to compete in the open market.

I’m just bringing up other solutions than Bradley for our DH spot. Was it you on the last podcast that said we should DH Hamilton? What would you have our OF and DH be next year?

by NothinG on Sep 26, 2009 6:54 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well

If you believe Justin Smoak is going to be up by July 1 — which I think is reasonable — then it boils down to how confident you are in Chris Davis being a solid contributor next season.

I’d probably start next season with an outfield with Murphy/Boggs platooning in LF, Borbon in CF, Cruz in RF, with Hamilton DHing, although you can mix and match that some to get Hamilton some time in the OF as well.

Let Davis start the season as the first baseman.

If Davis can’t hack it, you get Smoak up here to replace him. If he does hack it, then Smoak probably comes up at some point, with the result being that he goes in the 1B/DH mix and the Murphy/Boggs platoon loses a bunch of ABs.

So ...

If Worsh falls in love with Mitch Moreland during Spring Training, how long before he’s taking ABs from Nellie Cruz in RF? AS Game break?

I think there’s a real possibility Cruz gets dealt this offseason, particularly if Byrd comes back.

Cruz

Seems it would be a little silly to deal him when the teams been hurting for offense all season and he’s been the best offensive weapon.

if he wasn’t jerked around, but he may still of fallen a little short on the SB side, but he’ll still end the year at least with 32 HRs and 20 SBs, why does he get so much hate and Kinsler get so much love.

if Davis can hack it

which I do hope he can, do you then play Hamilton in LF?

I think you’re lineup is reasonable. Do you think we sign Pudge again to supplement our catching. The catching position would seem to be the biggest question mark. I would give the job to Teagarden to start to see what he can offer. I feel like we really need Max to come back strong and improve his defense to improve our catching offensively, although I will say that, for me, a catcher is not graded as highly on his offensive prowess.

I'm pretty meh on Dye

His on base skills are’t that impressive (though he has posted a career-best walk rate this year) and his power is down. Bottom line, he’s old.

Unless you think he’s due for another big breakout like he had when he first joined the white sox (which seems pretty unlikely) I don’t really see how adding him to the mix is improving much.

like he’s a leper offensively. Play the man. Maybe they didn’t want 2 30/30 guys on the team this year, so they didn’t play Cruz enough to get his 30/30.

Wash needs to get over his hate for Cruz! This has aggravated me all season.

I've had enough of sportsmanship tonight, thank you.

Briles kneeling it out inside the three yard line with eight minutes to go in the Baylor game was enough for me.

I'm not saying just blow someone away on purpose or rub it in.

But I know if I was on the other team and you started kneeling it out inside my five yard line with eight minutes to go, I’d take that as a giant “FUCK YOU” rather than think you were being a good sportsman.

You’re basically telling me that there is no way you don’t score unless you don’t try. At least give me the chance to stop you, even if it is 68-10.

in high school we were getting killed 60-0

at the start of the fourth, so our coach called a timeout and walked all the way across the field and bitched out their coach,

it was AWESOME

then half of our team got hurt in the quarter.

they know it’s a longshot, but they also know there is a chance. We have to sweep the Angels and win tomorrow to start. I’ve seen this happen before in baseball where a team swept the team it was chasing, and caught them at the end of the season.

looking at the first two matchups of the series.

We could win the first two, but the second two look a little tougher. If we win the first two though it might make the angels press even more than we were.

I'm not hoping

but if it gets to a point where it’s conceivable (where if we sweep the halos) I’ll get excited. Overall, I’m still happy with the way it’s turned out this year. Especially with the talks of the possible new owners.

I'll be excited if it's the last day of the season and we're a half a game back too

But I really have had enough of this season’s ups and downs. It’s been a great season, and I want the symbolism that 90 wins represents pretty bad, but the part of me that is relieved that this giant rollercoaster is coming to an end is growing.

Of course, I’ll regret that feeling in a couple months, when it’s the middle of the winter and I don’t have any gameday threads to chat on or any Kinsler popups to facepalm over, but right now I’m ready for a break.

I hate baseball offseason

Probably because of my increasing hate of football. But I find it strange that the less involved I get in with football, the more satisfied I am.

I dunno, I’ll be counting down the days until April 5, 2009.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I will be too

But it usually takes till November at least for me to start counting. Usually after the holidays is when my baseball fever really starts back up. Halloween to Christmas is winter to me, and baseball during that time would be kind of funny.

But after that it’s like “okay, that whole time of year is over – can we get rid of this cold weather and get back to the fun stuff now?”
