Saturday a.m. Rangers things

Going for seven in a row tonight, with Colbyashi on the mound against Brian Moehler. This is the soft spot of the schedule, and the Rangers need to take advantage...they have a stretch late in the year with two 10 game road trips sandwiched around a 5 game homestand, and have a stretch of 36 out of 54 games on the road.
The next month or so, the schedule is in the Rangers' favor, so this team needs to keep winning games and doing what it has been doing the past week, and get some space between them and the rest of the West.
Jeff Wilson's game story talks about Justin Smoak showing some life from the right side yesterday, with a double and a home run.
T.R. Sullivan's game story talks about how the Rangers' pitchers continued to contribute to the cause while hitting under the N.L. rules.
Evan Grant, in his post-game notes, praises Scott Feldman for giving the Rangers seven innings (helping a taxed bullpen get some rest), and talks about the production the Rangers are getting from Josh Hamilton, Julio Borbon, and Ian Kinsler.
Elvis Andrus has been slumping lately, but says that he and Clint Hurdle have identified some mechanical flaws that they think are causing the problems.
Sullivan's notes talks about Derek Holland and Rich Harden, neither of whom apparently will be back before the All Star Break. Tommy Hunter apparently should be ready to go on Tuesday, but the Rangers will need another starter on Wednesday (unless they opt to move everyone up a day after the off-day on Monday, something they generally are reluctant to do). Guillermo Moscoso is apparently the leading candidate to come up from Oklahoma and pitch, should they decide to go that route.
Anthony Andro's notes in the S-T also talk about the rotation situation, along with the news that supplemental first rounder Mike Olt has signed with the Rangers.
Brian McTaggart, from the Astros website, has a story where Nolan Ryan acknowledges the Rangers' interest in trading for Roy Oswalt.
I'm coming around to the view that, because of Oswalt's salary and no-trade clause, the cost in terms of prospects won't be as high as I initially thought. I think you could avoid parting with one of the big five prospects (Neftali Feliz, Justin Smoak, Derek Holland, Martin Perez, and Tanner Scheppers), although you'd need to give up some guys close to the majors. Mitch Moreland showing he can mash AAA pitching would be a big help, since he's the type of player who would be expendable and who would be a quality trade chip if he can mash like folks think he can.

And I wonder if Kirkman is getting any consideration for a spot start or two before the ASB
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
I like this idea
Given that the org seems somewhat down on Guillermo as a starter.
Or, kinda, I guess, as a major league pitcher.
But, yeah, lefty, stretched out, on the 40, not a drastic worry if you have to shuttle him- if we need an arm, good chance he’d be getting the call.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
I don't think they've given up on Moscoso as a pitcher
But I don’t think hes a viable starting candidate. Problem is instead of spending a majority of the time in OKC in the pen so he could be a viable relief candidate hes spent most of his time starting so hes not on the top of the list of candidates to callup when you need a extra reliever. We’ve really only seen him when we needed a fresh arm to take a chunk of innings
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
I'm all for an Oswalt trade
If they don’t have to give up anyone of the Big 5.

I don't think you can realistically expect an impact trade for a TORP to happen without losing one of the Big 5
Which makes me not want to make an impact trade.
"I’m gonna go on record here and say a great many things excuse throwing a chair at someone." – D.A. Tron
Agreed but
Oswalt might be a TORP here but I think at this stage he is a #2 else where.

Sure you can
Right now the Astros need quantity just as much as quality. Several ML ready/close prospects should be enough without the top guys. You could even throw in David Murphy and get back Jason Michaels, who is a decent RH OF bench bet.
They'll love him there
He’s gritty and from Houston. He’s basically Hunter Pence light.
Pence for Murphy straight up
heh
"Josey drives to games??? I always assumed he rides in on his high horse" jam0152
"dirkatron has his own evaluation metric: rapes above replacement." AJM
It's obvious
the guy from Arlington should play in Arlington and the guy from Houston should play in Houston…
He has no position though, with Lee, Bourn, Pence, and Berkman all one one, DH-less roster
"I’m gonna go on record here and say a great many things excuse throwing a chair at someone." – D.A. Tron
So he would be a 4th OF, just like he is now.
The difference between him and Michaels would be that Murphy has more upside, is LH, and may stick around as a replacement in LF if they ever get rid of Carlos Lee.
Uncle Drayton + in-state issue + our farm reputation + their farm = they're going to demand something of elite quality
"I’m gonna go on record here and say a great many things excuse throwing a chair at someone." – D.A. Tron
I don't buy the argument...
…that we have to give up better prospects to get a player because our farm is stronger.
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 19, 2010 12:45 PM CDT up reply actions
So you don't think that another GM, knowing he has the opportunity to get an elite guy, would hold out and demand a top player out of JD?
I’ve had mixed thoughts on whether I subscribe to that theory.
"I’m gonna go on record here and say a great many things excuse throwing a chair at someone." – D.A. Tron
No
Not if the option is to take a lesser package from another team.
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 19, 2010 12:49 PM CDT up reply actions
When his options are limited
via Oswalt’s no-trade clause, they lose some of their bargaining power.
Ned Colletti says hi
"I’m gonna go on record here and say a great many things excuse throwing a chair at someone." – D.A. Tron
That's why I said...
relatively smart people. I imagine GM’s are put under immense pressure by the owners (much more than fans, I think and especially in a market like LA.) to put together a winning team. But, yeah, Colleti hasn’t made many good moves since becoming a GM.
It’s also one of the reason I don’t completely hate Hicks. He hired JD and let him re-built the team from within after realizing they weren’t going to win by spending money on FA’s.
"No nuts, no glory"
Agree with you totally, I just couldn't help but reference Ned when we're discussing the competence of MLB GMs
"I’m gonna go on record here and say a great many things excuse throwing a chair at someone." – D.A. Tron
GM’s are also put under immense pressure by the owners

I agree about Oswalt
I’ve long thought that the panic that trading for him would mean giving up a top prospect was very much overblown. It’s as if any time someone suggests trading for him, the response around here is “NO! I’m not trading Scheppers!”, even if there are many other deals a deep organization could put together to get him.
Go Rice Owls!
I think part of that is the Houstone/McLane factor
Just like a divisional rival I think we would have to overpay to get Oswalt from Houston just like we would have to overpay to get Lee from Seattle.
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.

Regarding Moreland,
In his last 40 games, Moreland is batting a solid .292/.366/.458
I wish he was hitting more dongs (he has 5), but he is on a pace for ~40 2Bs.
"I support you, Wash; I’ve always supported you," Young said
"Back on the scene, with a gangsta lean" RW
I've been struggling for a while to find a realistic comp for Moreland but that slash line just gave it to me - Nick Markakis
Markakis’ career line is .298/.370/.466 and he’s good for 15-20 HR and 40 2B per year.
"I’m gonna go on record here and say a great many things excuse throwing a chair at someone." – D.A. Tron
Nick Markakis
He’s 26, and is in his 5th full season in the majors.
Mitch Moreland is 24 and is struggling at AAA. When Markakis was that age, he was in his third season in the majors and was posting an 897 major league OPS.
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 19, 2010 12:41 PM CDT up reply actions
I didn't say it was a perfect comp
Just that, in an ideal situation, maybe he turns into a late-blooming Markakis clone. With poorer OF defense.
"I’m gonna go on record here and say a great many things excuse throwing a chair at someone." – D.A. Tron
Given his age and position...
…that line doesn’t make him much of a prospect.

In regards to Edinson Volquez, he is a free agent in my fantasy league. Is he worth a pick-up in a few weeks?
Depends on the size of the league, your roster flexibility, and your other pitchers
For example, if you’re in an 8-team league that permits ownership of only 4 SP and you’ve got Hanson, Halladay, Strasburg, and Jimenez, I’d say not.
But in all seriousness, for a normal sized league I think I’d take a shot if I had a player I didn’t mind dropping. I might actually do that myself.

If we can get him for that, I'd hope JD would sign his name to that deal 0.0001 seconds after Wade says he'd go for it
I think I’d do Font/Davis/Ross in a heartbeat too.
I love the idea of headlining a deal with Font given his great projection but correspondingly great risk. He’s sexy enough to intrigue a team in need of elite talent but not a guarantee to make us cry for the rest of our lives. Like Marteeeen.

Oswalt...
the two things that bother me about him are his salary and the wear and tear on his arm. However, if the Rangers could get him without giving up any of their top prospects then yeah, you have to strongly consider doing it.
Of course, none of this matters until the owner situation is settled. You can’t add that salary until that happens.

I fucking HATE Tex. Every time I bench his slumping ass, he hits a fucking homerun. Then, expecting a hot streak, I roll him out there for the next three days, and he goes something like 1/13 or some bullshit like that. Of course, I bench him again, like I did today, and of course he belts ANOTHER FUCKING HOME RUN.
Maybe I shouldn’t do it, but I have Carlos Pena, Troy Glaus and Miguel Cabrera also ready to fill 1B, CI and the sole utility spot.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.

God you are stupid EG…i hope you read this you dumb fat sack of shit
He actually stated that the rangers would have to trade 2 of the big 5…likely either Holland and Smoak, or Perez and Smoak. Simultaneously saying that Davis would be refused by Houston.
And then that fat fuck had the audacity to say the rangers should do that deal. Shut the fuck up you dumb fat stupid fucking sack of shit….
if we did that deal id hope that Josey or someone killed everyone associated with the rangers
I dont even want to see this trade done at this point due to my paranoia

He is a fantastic writer and has opinions just like the rest of us. On top of it all he is a really good guy, so calm down a bit here.
