Wilson: Nelson Cruz to the disabled list

Per Jeff Wilson, the Rangers are putting Nelson Cruz on the 15 day disabled list, and activating Joaquin Arias from the disabled list.
Okay...so what does this mean?
Wilson says that the MRI didn't reveal a tear, but did reveal inflammation. Given the size of the Rangers' lead, the chronic nature of hamstring injuries, and the fact that this is the third time Cruz has had this issue this year, I have to think the Rangers want to be conservative in dealing with this, since the last thing you want to do is to push him right now and have him aggravate his hamstring so he won't be available in October.
Arias's return was inevitable, once Cristian Guzman went on the disabled list. This gets the Rangers back to where they have a backup infielder again.
The winner in all of this is primarily Julio Borbon, since it means he's almost certainly going to get to play regularly. The On the other hand, it is going to be harder for Ron Washington to sit Vladimir Guerrero, who looks like he's about 80 years old right now, and could probably use a few days off.
Hopefully, we'll see Brandon Boggs get some playing time against lefties the next couple of weeks, as well. He's out of options after the season, and the Rangers are going to have to make a decision on whether they think he's someone who can provide some value as a 4th or 5th outfielder, particularly given Boggs' history of mashing lefties.
UPDATE -- Boggs is starting in right field today.

The silver lining behind this dark cloud is that somehow, the team has survived this scenario twice before.
Good thing is wasn’t Hamilton.

And as much as I roll my eyes when he flounders around at 3rd, I will give him this:

That was two years ago.
And he hurt us more playing SS than breaking his fingers.
And Vazquez/Arias would have been his backup, which wouldn’t have helped either.

And
The Rangers finished 2008 with 79 wins, the Angels with 100.
His broken fingers did not cost the Rangers 21 games, so who cares if he stayed in or not, it’s commendable that he fought through it.

Its dumb to play hurt
when it hurts your team like when Young has at times, toughed it out. This season, he’s done the same thing like a few weeks ago when he was playing everyday despite having the flu or w/e it was. Its great that you want to be out there every day no matter what, but playing when you’re so much below 100% means you’re not doing the team any favors. Get healthy, get as close to 100% as you can, and then you’ll be helping the team out.

I'd like to keep Josh...
out of CF as much as possible, especially on the truf in Tampa. So Julio getting more playing time is good for that.
I’d also like to see Boggs get a lot of starts in the next couple of weeks.

he hits lefties fine
his OPS is comparable to Boggs’ especially when you consider how poorly Moreland started out the season adjusting to AAA. I’ll take Moreland’s bat any day of the week, and so I just prefer Moreland in the lineup. I’d love to be wrong, but I’m not a Boggs guy.

It’s time to give Boggs another look while Cruz is DL’ed. I have no doubt Moreland will play plenty as well.

calm down Mr. Over-Punctuation
is it all that necessary. with Moreland and Vlad. Vladdy and Murhpy platooned in RF when Cruz was out before, now you have Moreland who can play there as well.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
That key sticks
But the question still remains valid. With Cruz gone, they needed another right handed bat. I don’t like Boggs any more than you do, and I really like the way Moreland has handled himself since he’s been called up. But, I don’t think they want to overexpose him to left-handed pitching.
Murphy is playing every day, and when Vladdy platooned he was not in his slump. With Boggs, you at least have the opportunity to give Vlad some much needed rest from time to time.

well, there are no other options
and I understand the team’s approach, but I’m not one who likes platooning players when their splits don’t call for it like in Moreland’s case. Either way, Boggs is the superior defensive player in the OF, and defense will be key without our lineup at full strength

If he does well
Boggs is somebody that could help us in post-season (we have too many LH hitting OF’s).
The thing I remember about Cruz coming back in late August 2008 is that he came out smoking. Think he hit a HR and a booming double off the wall and never looked back.

I wonder if Nellie is using creatine
I was using it for a while back when I was playing soccer regularly. In the 6 months I was using it, I suffered 5 strains in my leg muscles. And it wasn’t the same muscle over and over. left quad, right hammie, left hammie, right quad, right hammie again. I got off the creatine after that. Hadn’t had that sort of problem before, or since. But, I’ve never read that muscle strains are a possible side-effect of creatine use, either. But the benefit of creatine is that it causes muscles to contract more strongly, which leads me to believe that it might make muscle strains more likely.

Agreed
Just wondering out loud.

I believe you need to keep more hydrated on creatine
Don’t know the reason but it seems I read that. I was on creatine a while back as well but didn’t have any issues.
"You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.
Then he grounded out weakly to second.
I never had issues
But I drink a fuck ton of water, esp when I wasn’t a fat washed up loser.

Manny Ramirez
Would you claim him when he goes on waivers later this month?
Or possibly offer the Dodgers a Harden for Ramirez deal?
he's owed too much money
and not worth the headache. the clubhouse chemistry is important
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
Manny
If you picked him up at the end of the month, he would cost about $4 million. If they took Harden, that would offset about $2 million of the cost.

Would LA still be on the hook for the deferred payments?
Which if I’m reading Cotts correctly is about $25 million

Cruz, you pussy!! Quit being a fucking China Doll!!
If this team starts tanking from all these injuries and slumps……I’M GONNA FREAK THE FUCK OUT!!!!!!!!!
loud noises.
our year??
Quit being so pessimistic
We would have to completely implode for this team not to make the playoffs and if having a healthy Nellie and a healthy Kinsler means that we sit them for the rest of the regular season so they can be ready for the playoffs, then fucking do it.
I think he was being sarcastic...
hence the “loud noises”.

Posssible
or not. I figure he’s just a normal Rangers fan of the past decade wondering when the other shoe will drop and events will somehow work against us to make us fail once again
I could be wrong,
but I think most fans from LSB understand the differences from this year and the last 10.

You forgot...
4.)NO MORE TOM FUCKING HICKS AS THE OWNER!
Still my favorite thing to say, ever. But the point I am making is that no matter how this team differs from the others of the last decade, we as Rangers fans always expect some sort of gut punch to knock us either:
1.) out of contention
2.) out of first place, or
3.) out flat on our butts.
We believe bad things will happen because they have in the past. Kind of the Texas version of the Cleveland Syndrome
The summer heat and losing after the AS break
are the two worst common responses I hear. It’s mind numbing.

Dammit!
I don’t think this will have a whole lot of impact on the season or anything, and it’s the right move, but it’s just so frustrating. I want to see him every day. I want Vlad to get rest. And it terrifies me that he might just re-aggrivate it in October.
Teagarden has the highest average against Price
Nellie is second.

Take a deep breath and...
look at the schedule Oak and LAA plays during this 15 game DL stint:
LAA: Tor (3), RedSox (3), Minn (3), Tampa (3) and resurgent Balt (4)
Oak: Minn (3), Tor (3), Tampa (4) and Cle (3).
That’s a scrotum scraper, in both cases. If this gives JulesBorbon a chance to shake rust and get back in the rotation, its all good. Wash would have rode Cruz like Zorro to the finish line, so this forces 2 weeks rest on him. He still has a month to come back strong. Ian gets to rest his ankle and get it 100% while he heals the groin, broken hip, amputated foot, rupture spleen, torn labia or WHATEVER THE FUCK he has going on.
Its all fine.

I guess my question concerning Nelson and Kinsler is...
how long does it take them to get in a groove from after an injury? It seems like it took them a while, especially Cruz.
Fixed...
Boggs Holland is the 2nd to final piece for this team.
Scheppers being the final.
