Rangers acquire Edwar Ramirez from the Yankees

PrintThe Rangers have acquired righty reliever Edwar Ramirez from the Yankees for cash considerations.
You can see his B-R page here. He strikes out a lot of guys and, in the majors, at least, has walked a lot of guys.
Ramirez turns 29 years old later this month, and I think he is out of options. My guess is the Rangers will try to run him through waivers at the end of spring training.

That brings our total to 3?
Can we trade for Pedro, Tino, Edgar, Manny? Field a team full of Ramirez’s

Wait. Lack of sleep talking
Some of those are Martinez’s. Just Manny then

At least we're spending money
That’s a good sign right?
I had a paper route when I was a kid. I was supposed to go to 2,000 houses. Or two dumpsters.
Interesting pickup...
and maybe someone that Mike Maddux could coax the potential out of? His #‘s don’t look like something I’d want to see in RBiA though.
lov eit
i remember when kellerman was very high on this guy…solid pickup.

Interesting picture
Rod: Could you check for lumps?
Edwar: Sure
Rod: I think I swallowed the ball
Edwar: Here I’ll help

Ranger121032: This picture looks funny. i think I will attempt in a little caption humor.
Ranger121032’s computer: Please don’t.
Ranger121032: Why not? I have a really good line about lumps, and choking.
Ranger121032’s computer: Seriously. Just please don’t do this. Say it was a good signing, and move on.
Ranger121032: Shutup. I am going to do it.
Ranger121032’s computer: “Power down”

No worries, broseph.

kick his baby?
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.

i still want the tagline to be
“were a bunch of assholes” or whatever was proposed @ the end of last year

great pickup
id rather have him than doug mathis any day of the week lol

KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.
As a pitcher, hell yes. And it's not even close. But you can't replace the greatest nickname in the history of LSB with "pitching".

That is undoubtedly true

I love this
When there were supposed rumors that we could trade one of our catchers or Byrd to the Yankees in the 08-09 offseason, I was constantly throwing this guys name around as part of the return.
Fangraphs just wrote this about him last week:
http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/edwar-what-is-he-good-for
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
his scouting report, in a nutshell
is that he’s a flyball pitcher who doesn’t throw particularly hard but who has a crazy good changeup. I love adding him to the mix.

Yuppers. We get a good arm with decent upside to tryout in ST, and we got him for basically nothing.
Absolutely no risk here, and he’s got solid 7th/8th inning potential, imo.
Love this pickup.
This smells a lot like O’Day last year, doesn’t it?
The 40 Trumps All!!!
Because video games are so accurate...
I remember in MLB 08 The Show he had an insane K/9 rating. Maybe even MLB 09. That helps, right?
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
thats because he does
over 10 k/9

KG: Oh yeah.

great pickup
JD has figured a few things out about building a pen over the last few years. These are the kind of under the radar moves that can help us out a ton.
Feliz says his greatest thrill was striking out Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz, one of his heroes. Yet, when he called to tell his parents, his mother had a request: Strike out New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, too.
"So when I did that," Feliz says, "I told my mom, 'There you go. There's your present. Don't ask me to strike anyone else out, OK?'
OT: Who was it that had the Prius? T Ball?
Well this dude brought in his Prius to Toyota 2 weeks ago and they told him it was not on the recall list, well yesterday his accelerator got stuck on a San Diego freeway. He lucked out. He could of been killed had it not been for the officer who helped.

perhaps im an idiot
but if my car started to accelerate out of control, i would put the damn thing in neutral and hit the hazard lights. (And yes, i have thought about this before, cause it seems to be a common plot device on TV and they have to slow the car down before finally crashing into something.)
"My expectations today are that we're going to be extremely competitive and if we don't win our division, I'll be disappointed." Nolan Ryan
aren't you supposed to put it in neutral and turn it off while applying the breaks heavily?
I dunno I don’t have a Toyota but I’m pretty sure I heard that somewhere.

They played someof the 911 tape
And the operator tells the guy to put it in Neutral, but he’s screaming and ranting that the breaks aren’t working rather than.. you know… putting it in Neutral.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
yeh I heard that, he was clearly freaked out big time, probably felt he was going to die

I have a 2006 Prius
As far as I can tell, it’s the remodel cars that have a problem, the 2009 model year and later. I have never experienced any issues with mine, almost 60,000 miles on it.

Yeah...
I’ve got an ’07 with 40K and have had no issue either.

Interesting pickup
The guy can miss some bats and he’s got a good changeup, so there’s some potential there if he can bring the walks down and his HR/FB rate regresses a bit.
Think he’s got one option left, so I’m guessing he’ll be among the first line of defense should anyone in the bullpen go down this year…
Morality you can fake. Fun you either have or you don't.
they're going to miss him over at Pinstripe Alley...
Good luck Edwar
I hope the Rangers give you a better shot than the Yankees did. Because any way you slice it, I don’t think the Yanks were fair to the guy. They basically wrote him off after one months struggles in April of last year. That isn’t fair. And yet, they’re holding on to Albaladejo and Igawa. I’d rather have Edwar than both those guys.
