Around SBN: AEG To Purchase Spurs?

42-28

9 in a row, the second-longest winning streak in team history.

Tommy Hunter didn't have real good stuff, but he battled and gave the Rangers 6 solid innings.  Darren Oliver and Neftali Feliz shut the door.  We got three homers and a sac fly for the runs.

Just a very nice ballgame tonight.

It was definitely strange

I just kept sending him links to various reports that disagree with his take. His only responses to me (and others) have been “believe what you want” or “you really think that’s right?”

It’s just really sad that he is considered an authority on this.

There's really only two possible reasonings for his actions:

1) He has inside information that he can’t disclose, so he can’t prove you wrong. (I do not think this is the case at all).
2) He’s so entrenched in his viewpoint that he can’t Chip Brown-it and flip flop with the new information.

One thing we were going over in the other thread

is why the Lenders would try to put such positive spin on everything. And I realized that Lenders, like all businesses, want to project that they are going to win a lawsuit right up until they don’t so they don’t lose funding. This is also true for the Rangers in case one of their funding sources started getting cold feet – but less true since they don’t have unsophisticated investors as funding sources.

Point being, it seems dumb to rely on investors. And I have a hard time seeing why the team needs spin

Greenberg and Co. have been putting on a happy face throughout the sale process.

I think they know how much attention the diehard fans are paying to this process, particularly now that we have a team that looks like it can compete.

Greenberg wants to come out of this whole thing looking like the prince on the shining white horse, and putting up his positive front helps him do that.

I really doubt that the tap has anything to do with anything.

Except his mental state. They changed something for the sake of changing something to clear his head, and his natural ability took over.

Well, it could be about the timing.

Looks like eliminating the tap might enable Josh to have a little bit of a quicker bat.

I think it could be a little bit in his head

Hasn’t he said recently that he sometimes forgets how quick his bat speed is? The toe tap might have just sort of prevented him from really using it. Also, in the toe tap one, his feet don’t leave the ground when he’s swinging the bat, which I guess could lead to less power in his swing.

Crawford is the guy they're snubbing though.

He’s shy of being a 4-win player like cano and Morneau, but he’s got a full half-win advantage on Longo, Youk and Josh in WAR. He’s having an F-Gutz-esque season in LF.

Morneau, Youk, M-Cab and Cano are all ahead of Josh in wOBA, and Cano, Morneau, Crawford, Rios, Longo and Youk all have edges on him in WAR.

And I ask this question

Will the CRO really do much more than look to see if the claims are preserved for creditors? I mean, the judge basically has said the secured creditors only get 75M + interest and damages of breaches AFTER the sale. They can’t get more money and the judge already said it will only take a minor change.

They keep talking about the CRO preserving lenders’ rights but those rights are minimal. I would think the bigger issue is the CRO making sure the sale doesn’t breach fiduciary duties of the equity owners – which would seem to be a slam dunk.

Final say on trade deadline

- What if they are close enough to being done – will they get enough money? Maury: they are handcuffed until it’s done. Already have taken a loan and sets bad precedent for future. Nobody knows enough to be sure it will happen.

Welcome aboard. I'm not looking beyond 2011 with This Thing.

If Josh, Cruz, The Face, Vlad or Kinsler were somewhere between 24-27 years of age, hell yes we’d have a great chance to be a dominant team beyond 2011 but they’re all between 28-34.

Look at baseball history and see which teams have been dominant for significant periods of time.

The Window is open and this truly is our time…reassess after 2011.

everyone expected the astros to lay a turd against the rangers. the dodgers should be held to a slightly higher standard.

by Mike9 on Jun 22, 2010 11:25 PM CDT reply actions  

my big thing is why is Kemp

batting 7th? They have Loney and Garrett Anderson batting 4/5. That will compete with anybody to be the worst 4-5 combo. The dodgers lineup sucks in the middle. Granted Loney can hit ok, but he has little to zero pop in his bat to warrant the cleanup spot.

Loney

has alot of pop, he’s just down a bit this year. Torre has put Kemp everywhere in that line-up. Anywhere from the 2hole to 7hole. He belongs in the 3 hole with Ethier hitting cleanup. IMO

by AndrusImpersonator on Jun 22, 2010 11:42 PM CDT up reply actions  

Loney's .147 ISO this year is roughly in-line with his career ISO of .155

Which is inflated by his first two partial seasons.

He hasn’t broken a .150 ISO in almost 2 1/2 years now. He doesn’t have “a lot of pop”.

just for the uninformed, what is the Rangers longest winning streak in franchise history

I pride myself on my Ranger knowledge and I wanna say it was in the early 90s and it was 14 in a row and there was some kind of series in Seattle where it started or ended and we faced Randy Johnson in one of those games

How did I score?

For tomorrow....

Real clarity coming in article tomorrow. Have to say this…

The 28 pages in the opinion was some of the most complex reading I have yet undertaken. Reporting needed to be done when the news broke, but after several readings, it is becoming more and more clear.

I will say this…

By the judge saying that there are class impairments that can be rectified by addressing them, he has made sure that if the debtors to meet the muster, appeal is a dead deal.

In not approving the prepacked plan and allowing voting rights, the creditors get what they wanted. If the issues are addressed, and the voting rights removed, it will be exceptionally hard for the creditors to win on appeal.

In other words, what looks like a setback might, in many ways, guarantee the deal getting done.

More later on Weds.
