I don't see anyway that Snyder stays on the 25-man roster.

In fact, it is possible, but probably not likely, that each one of BMac, Mendoza, and Snyder aren’t in the Rangers organization when ST breaks.

Somewhere

I read that Moreland had 2 OF assists in a backfield game yesterday.

by shroomer on Mar 19, 2010 3:05 PM CDT up reply actions  

If Moreland develops as a fielder

and continues to bash the ball. Would the Rangers ever consider going with all three of Smoak, Davis and Moreland then trade one of Hamilton or Cruz?

by Hull Fan on Mar 19, 2010 3:06 PM CDT up reply actions  

Might be a coupla seasons before Moreland proves he's an everyday ML'er.

So, not anytime soon. But by midseason Moreland might make Murphy available if somebody makes you a good offer for him. Mitch might already be good for a look as a 4th OF’er.

by shroomer on Mar 19, 2010 3:13 PM CDT up reply actions  

If he bashes at AAA

like he did at AA and AAA last year how much time in the minors will he need? The only problem with moving Murphy is that Murph could in a pinch play center and certainly left field. Moreland is almost confined to right field isn’t he?

by Hull Fan on Mar 19, 2010 3:15 PM CDT up reply actions  

That would be ok. Josh could slide to CF and Cruz to LF

Jim Callis said it's a stretch to think he'll become any more than an emergency RF option

I get the gist that we need to view him as a 1B/DH, not as a RF of the future.

Well that depends on his bat though doesn't it?

Vlad is abysmal and Dunn isn’t any better but if Moreland is a .310/.440/.650 guy not being great in RF can be overcome. He’s got an amazing arm, if he can learn to take a good angle on balls, even if he’s not fast his bat will be too good to let go.

by Hull Fan on Mar 19, 2010 3:21 PM CDT up reply actions  

What I've read suggests that he's not "abysmal" or "not great", it's he's not capable of being even remotely serviceable
