Francisco and Feldman arbitration figures

PrintPer Richard Durrett, the Rangers have exchanged arbitration figures with Frank Francisco and Scott Feldman.
Texas offered $3 million to Frankie, with his side asking for $3.6 million.
Texas offered $2.05 million to Feldman, with Feldman asking for $2.9 million.
The gap on Feldman is pretty wide, and it gets me to wondering if the Rangers are going to have their first arbitration case since Lee Stevens with him.
Francisco, the Rangers are offering 83% of what he's asking (compared to 70% of Feldman's request), so I figure that one will probably get worked out.

Apparently Ranger bean counters agree:
Scott Feldman is overrated.
Morality you can fake. Fun you either have or you don't.
He was pretty good last year
.275 BABIP’s help with that.

Yeah, maybe he'll regress to his career BaBIP, .284.

The only troll to ever actually get himself banned from LSB
Texas_Dawg. He liked to use “IMHO” as his disclaimer to say asinine things.

O that was way before I started commenting,
I will stop, still trying to learn things, been reading since last ST. My apologies for my rookie-ness.
Nah, not a problem
It’s something you might need to know someday, since he keeps trying to come back and circumvent the ban.

yeah, cuz he's a genius from the Ivy league or some other
self-glorified school

put more people in the NFL than the Ivy League!

That's the truth ha,
I was on football staff and I can say that watching Johnny and Bernard on a daily basis in practice was one of the greatest things you could see.
pretty impressive
that they had 2 players off there team last year make an impact in the NFL this year.
You'd be surprised at the number of ACU alum on here
And yeah, not exactly Ivy League

there are quite a few of us Wildcats kickin it on LSB.
Glad to know we’re not alone!!!

same here
in fact, I’m using my acu user name here because i can’t come up with anything more original
It's just that
they’re never taken. It’s an automatic username that you know nobody else will have. If I try to sign up for something and it’s already taken, it’s always because I already signed up and forgot about it.

you guys have good points,
another question for the LSB/ACU people…any suggestions on jobs, cause I graduate in December with an Accounting and Financial Management degree, neither of which I have a great deal of interest in. I want to get my masters in sports management, thoughts and/or suggestions, all would be appreciated.
Well, I'm probably not much help
because I pretty much put my diploma in the drawer and became a cop. Could’ve saved the $60K AND added a few more years to my pension by skipping college all together. Doesn’t HSU have some kind of a sports management program?
"Does this effectively hide my thunder?"
I believe they do, honestly don't know much about it.
I know that a couple of the professors in the Exercise Science department got their Masters from New Mexico and have said they have a great program, but after 3.5 years here, I doubt I can afford to go anywhere for a while.
I looked into doing Sports Management
Honestly, I’d say try to get into sports just using your business degrees.
I applied to sports jobs/internships and during the interviews most of the hiring managers didn’t care about “sports” degrees — afterall, sports is still business.
Besides, if sports doesn’t work out (like what happened to me), you can fall back on an Acctg/Fin degree and get a “real” job.
Just my 2 cents…

I almost went for an internship for HSG this summer
Starting to think I made the right decision to avoid that
I went to the winter meetings in '05
I had 4 or 5 “job” offers from minor league teams. It was basically legalized slavery. I’m not sad I sold my soul and got a real job.

that's the sad part about any facet of the "sports" business
I spend a few years out of college trying to make it in sports journalism…I landed a couple jobs, but the reality is that there are SOOOO many people who want to do anything associated with sports for a living that they can get away with paing $14K/year for 60+ hour work weeks. The real money in anything sports related doesn’t come in until you “hit the big time.” Until then, you eat a shitload of ramen and jack your A/C up to 85 degrees in the summertime wondering if you should just apply for food stamps.

Plus in sports
you have to work alot of nights/weekends/etc etc.
Some of my friends who have taken sports jobs now want out because they can’t enjoy the games anymore.

When I decided to get out
I really stopped enjoying games…constantly trying to analyze and re-analyze, find the “interesting backstory” to the game, etc etc. I had to take a couple of months off from watching sports (no kidding) to decompress.
"Does this effectively hide my thunder?"
He was at Texas_Dawg 10 a few months back.
There’s no way he was banned 10 times, or was he?

Well, he's probably tried to re-join that many times
Number 10 was just the one that finally slipped past Ben.

i was about to be surprised
that he kept using the same name with a new number, but either way, we would have been able to tell it was him as soon as he commented
by kevinkinsler on Jan 19, 2010 9:29 PM CST up reply actions
if he's such a genius why does he just change the number....
change your whole nickname, unless it’s a game for him.
I think Ben can tell it's him no matter what screenname he chooses
So he figures why not keep the legend of the original username going, I guess.
I have also wondered if he was someones bit though, like Finnerty was, but theres nothing to support that theory.

On a semi-related note
I’ve always wondered what would happen if Adam banned the Josey Wales username. Not the guy, just the username.

that would be hiliarious, start a collection for that.

The fuck has New Era done with the BP caps this year?
This, to me is fugly:

I liked the old ones with the flag across the red "T" myself
My favorite all-time Ranger hat design.

I wish I could find one of the old ones
The blue with the simple “T”…the ones they wore during Nolan’s time as a player.
"Does this effectively hide my thunder?"
I've still got one
I bought around ’89. Still in good shape, I wear it to a few games every year.
It’s Advil and beef in the Texas Rangers, you yankee bastard.

I'm glad they don't have the over the ear patch
but it looks they’re taking a page from the NFL sideline caps
by kevinkinsler on Jan 19, 2010 10:06 PM CST up reply actions
you remember those batting helmets they almost went with last year?
hideous. I hope this design goes the way of those piles of crap.
They don't bother me that much, if at all, for batting practice.
I think Cleveland’s is pretty sharp.

Yeah, the colors work on a few of them
The Houston one probably being the other, maybe the ChiSox too.
But Boston and Texas… blech.

The TB road one is probably the worst though
Those guys are gonna get the shit heckled out of them wearing those things during road BP this season.

Looks like the Tar Heels(yuck)
…and a pair of Pumas I have.

OT -- Looks like Revo is going to be contributing to ESPNDallas
Here’s what I think is his first column (it’s about the Cowboys).
"He will not coddle them. Nolan Ryan doesn’t coddle." - Jeff Passan
Yep, TR mentioned that
So…I guess he was bought out instead of retiring?

And the little bastard threw it for a swinging strike three in a 3-2 count. He’s blessed. And ballsy.
Revo actually just built a house across the street from some family friends of ours
After seeing that place I’m not real surprised he needs a job still, haha.
