Haven't had one of these in a while. Seems like today is a good day to start one...
HIC- Off
BAK-4:00- Boscan
FRS-6:00- Perez
OKC-4:00- Scheppers
David Perez in DSL: 11 IP | 6 H | 3 R | 2 ER | 2 BB | 15 K's |
Anyone else catch Engel Beltre on SC "Not Top Ten"? Good times. I like Hamilton. Fastball go boom. Strasburg is legit. I need one more freaking word.

Any word...
on a pitch count limit for Scheppers?
"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance."-Socrates
Here's a Scheppers article in the OKC paper -
A few interesting quotes from Terry Clark about Operation Schepp.
Ah. So. His 1-month, 5-inning limit comes to an end right about Sep callup time.
Quite the intricate plan with him. I don’t think I’ve seen the Rangers have such a specific plan with any other pitcher.

do you call him up in Sept and let him start
or work out of the pen?
Thank you Houston for drafting Jason Castro.
Pen, unless the rotation needs an emergency start.
He’ll be way over 100 IP if he starts in Sep.

They're probably taking several things into consideration
How does he look that day, stressful vs. easy innings, etc.
one and one and one is three
The Sally League schedules can be whack sometimes
They’ll start a new series on a Saturday and stuff like that. I dunno what the reason is.

Josh Lueke
has been the subject of very little comment here an on other Rangers blogs and didn’t make Newberg’s top 72. But, I was pretty impressed with what I saw from him last night with a fastball consistently at 95-96 and touching 98 per the stadium gun. His strikeout totals this year are outrageous, with 52 in 29 1/3 innings split between Bakersfield and Frisco. I know that he is moderately old for the league, and that he pitched only a few innings last year, presumably because of an injury.
I don’t know too much about this guy. Anyone able to fill in the blanks on whether this is a guy who should be getting on our radar?
Uhhh... I don't think doing rapes is an injury.

He pretty much missed part of a season because of a rape case. I think he will get a good look in ST ’11.

The woman told police she remembered vomiting into the toilet at the apartment. While doing so, the woman told police someone she could not identify who was standing at her side masturbating on her.
She said she passed out, and when she awoke at around 8:45 a.m., she told police she was lying on a couch with her pants down and other parts of clothing were missing.
She told police she felt violated and that she never agreed to have sex with anyone. Investigators later obtained DNA samples from semen found on the woman’s jeans and white tank top and from an anal swab.

He's established himself as at least a fringe prospect this year
A guy who could have a future out of the bullpen. I’d put him in the same category as someone like Evan Reed, a live arm who has some value, but who probably has the most utiliity to the Rangers as a throw-in in a trade rather than as a major league contributor.
I think the Rangers should call around and offer every team Reed, Lueke, Pedro Strop, Omar Beltre, Ben Snyder, and Warner Madrigal as a package. See what someone would give up for an entire bullpen.

Thank you Houston for drafting Jason Castro.
At least one top guy
They’d ask for Scheppers, Smoak, Feliz, Holland or Perez; we’d laugh contemptuously. We’d offer Font, Main and Leuke. They’d deliberate for a while, probably ask for Beavan to be thrown in to the mix. We’d hang up and never speak to Zduriencik again.
http://oursaviorchuck.ytmnd.com/
Yeah. One top guy is right.
Not worth it for a one-year playoff push is the highly likely end game.

According to the Scheppers linkage above from shroom, Scheppers is supposed to be working on his changeup, now
that he’s in the rotation.
I like his approach of not leaving his changeup over the plate when he misses!

You're not doing kiddings... I wanted him BAD at 14.
Was happy with doing rapes on Matt Purke there, don’t get me wrong.
But Scheppers was the shiny golden virgin girl in the sky I wanted to pluck down using my fucking hands so that I could chain him up in my fucking prospect shed.

I think Jason Heyward is ready to be promoted to the AL. He’s mastered the NL - Matthew Carruth
Quite the performance.
Hasn’t the year been a bit of a disappointment for Ranger minor league studs (Perez, Moreland, Beltre to some extent)? But this guy and Ogando tip the scales back toward positive.
Ephesians 3:20-21...and I can only imagine
Perez is still 19yo.
Our expectations may have been off but he is still very young.
Thank you Houston for drafting Jason Castro.
Perez and Moreland, maybe, but not really since they were moving up a level, and Beltre could very well
move up a level within the next month.
They haven’t raised themselves to the point of being the top prospect in all of baseball, but I think they’ve been alright.
If there is a disappointment on the farm, it would have to be CD, Tea, Salts.
As for the minor leaguers themselves, I think they’ve had a pretty stout, but not spectacular, year.
Pro baseball has always been a dream, so this is pretty freakin’ cool out here. -- Tim Steggall, undrafted Rangers minor leaguer.
it definitely hasn't been a disappointment for Beltre
He’s been hitting entirely better than last year. His been killing it the last 10 games he’s played. I guess the only disappointing thing could be his suspension.
Rangers FTW
Beavan and Ross
definitely belong on the plus side. Overall, I think the hitters have been disappointing.
Thank you Houston for drafting Jason Castro.
What hitters?
Outside of Velazquez, Moreland, Max (not really a prospect anymore), and Beltre, what is there on the farm?
Lemon? Bianucci? Mendonca?
Pro baseball has always been a dream, so this is pretty freakin’ cool out here. -- Tim Steggall, undrafted Rangers minor leaguer.
Beavan has been a huge plus so far.

But if you’re disappointed in Perez, you’re a sad human.

Actually, I'm a happy guy.
I think what I really meant was that the Rangers, perhaps, expected a bit more success this year than what he has produced. I understand his age and all that. And someday soon he’ll be in Arlington. Just a slight bump on his fast lane to the majors.
Ephesians 3:20-21...and I can only imagine
LOL, Moreland was never a stud of any sort...
Beltre’s shown flashes, and Perez is dealing with adversity for the first time in his career, but I wouldn’t call it a true disappointment.
Dude is still super, duper young, and he’s showing flashes too.
Scheppers, Ogando, Kirkman, Captain fucking Wonderul, Velazquez, Erlin, etc… Plus we haven’t even seen Profar, Sardinas or Alfarogod yet.

The only real disappointment for me has been Lemon's walk rate...
although he has started to walk a little bit lately. Depending on how he performs from this point on, he might have a chance to be an UTL guy next season for the big club (probably not cuz Ronnie luvs Arias).
Kiker has been horrible but I don’t know how much was his injury and how much of it was just his suck.

Mike Olt...
“played most of the year needing contact lenses but not wearing them”, according to Kevin Goldstein on his and professor of sex’s podcast. Hadn’t seen that mentioned anywhere else.
"No nuts, no glory"
I remember that it came up somewhere.
He also vastly changed his stance IIRC and went on an absolute tear after the switch.

I remember reading that he changed his stance but don't remember reading anything about him having vision problems.
"No nuts, no glory"
I guess it's not really a problem because...
all he needs to do is were contacts or get lasik.
"No nuts, no glory"
just from the video I saw
Olt’s stance and hands looked a whole lot like Evan Longoria. He probably opened up his stance to see the ball better. just a guess
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?'

Surpised to see McBride?
Mike Olt - 2013 A.L. Rookie of the Year.
He declined to accept the award as to not show up his fellow rookies. Incentives earned from being named ROY were donated to a local charity. He did not report this donation on his tax return.
Cole said it was likely he'd be there, but, even so, I'm a little surprised.
Alvarez and Melo are in Extended Spring Training.

HS guys who have had the last ten months in the system aren’t that much of a stretch for Spokane.

Nicey, nice, nice.
Well, really just 3xNice on Profar.
Obviously some of the other guys are exciting (Rojas and McBride in particular do some excitements on me), but nothing too titanic outside of Profar.
Of course this could change in short order as picks get signed (Olt/Grimm/Miles), or their dance moves convince the team they’re ready (Skole/Deglan) or both (Miles/ Buckel).
Oh, and it’s hilarious we’re still trying to make Clark Murphy happen.

I am a little excited about Guillermo Pimentel.
Weren’t Deglan and Skole suppose to start in Spokane?
"No nuts, no glory"
Yah, hence the part about guys joining once their dance moves convince the team they're read, followed by specifically naming Skole and Deglan.
Oh, I just did dance moves in your FACE, Coolaid.
WhAt!?

I'm a bit worried about the town of Hickory getting too latched on to Mike Olt

So with all the rain in OKC what happens to the series they had scheduled the next 4 days?
Tonight got rained out but if it flooded like they showed on tv theres no way they play tomorrow thru thursday.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Mike Olt will be the Rangers' starting 3B in 2013.

Mike Olt laughs at this.
He’ll be starting there after the ASB this season.

Does he see BAK this year?
If he keeps this up I figure it just comes down to innings quota.
