He's probably an above-average LF.
But Hamilton is below-average in CF.

I think Josh is an average center fielder
Not sure what the benefit of Endy is in LF though. Does the upgrade at a corner OF spot really cover the downgrade at the plate over Murph?
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.

Only average to below average?
My only question with Endy in LF is Josh’s leg… Is it okay?
If you’re going to play Endy anyway, seems like an opportunity to protect Josh a little bit.
These make good pies.

I guarantee that possibility never entered into the equation
Football can go to hell. The Rangers aren't ready for football season and neither am I.
I wouldn't guarantee it
They use charts and stuff and have for ages.

Another reason to close this out tonight:

Matt Harrison is available in the Rangers bullpen tonight.

In other words, Wash isn’t going to wisen up and let Harry start tomorrow instead of Colby
Wash is trying to avoid there being a game tomorrow...

I definitely get it if Holland struggles early
I was just hoping to see an audible with Harrison starting tomorrow over Colby.
I'd bet Feldman would be first out if Holland struggles...
I’d imagine Harrison is available for a depleted pen in extra innings situation. IF there’s a Game 7, I’d bet Harrison would be out there if Colby looks like he has nothing.
by ghostofErikThompson on Oct 15, 2011 4:13 PM CDT up reply actions
Exactly...
I am feeling really confident about this game, because even if Holland blows, Wash can bring:
Feldman, Harrison, Oliver, Ogando, Adams, Feliz. That’s six innings or more of likely scoreless relief. If the Rangers get a lead at any point, Detroit is in real trouble.

Agreed.

If Benoit is used
the Rangers need to tee off on him. There is no way I can believe that this lineup will let Benoit throw 5 straight shutout innings against them.
"In fact, most of these free-swinging Padres couldn’t hit Dock’s funky palm ball. I threw it often. But by then, also, the first acid distractions entered: the TV flickered; the cracks in the wall started to move; the hand soap started to breathe — those sorts of things. Plus I was drawn to the outdoor garden between innings. Rain was near, I sensed." - A.J. Daulerio
And no matter what anyone says
I refuse to believe that Valverde will come in and pitch like he’s fully rested.
Maybe I’m wrong, but 2 days off seems insufficient for a 2IP, IP, 2IP 3-day run.
Plus he was getting hit pretty well that last time out
He was looking a bit gassed and/or figured out.

Benoit is a very good RP
and the exact sort of pitcher that the Ranges struggle against?

i valet cars.
the company I worked for said in September, “please keep October 15 open. we will need a lot of valets to work that night..” so I’m being nice and helping them out. usually at the beginning of the event (630pm) and the end of the event (1130pm), we’re really busy trying to park people’s cars and/or retrieve their cars. but in the middle of our work shift, we really have a lot of down time and we’re not doing anything. hopefully I can watch the game!!

Bartending seems like it would be better to me...
For one you shouldn’t have any issue watching games.
i still would rather valet.
one night I made $85 in just 5 hours. it’s not bad considering the work you do. you’re really only busy when the event first gets going in the beginning and at the end when people are ready to leave. but in the middle of it all, all us guys really do is just chill and hang out

To be honest
$85 doesn’t seem like much for a good bartender during busy times.
Valeting does seem like a decent gig though (however the valets for the restaurants near my apt need to die in a fire).
like i said, we're only busy the 1st hour of work and the last.
yeah, valeting is nice. I plan to go maybe just 3 more years doing this until I become a Radiologic Technologist, heh

ha, it depends where my company needs help
sometimes they might need 25 valets to work at the Dallas Museum of Art or maybe another night they may just need 5 at a country club. so i really don’t have a particular city in which i valet in

40% in his time with Detroit actually....
Outside of his time with Minn earlier this year, he swings at first pitches even more often than 40%.
Feels like he was sitting dead fastball the entire time.
If you’re going to give him a fastball, put it out of the zone.
Some of those pitches to him was interesting to say the least..
they were getting him out on the offspeed stuff and all of a sudden back to fastballs. The man is hurt it just made no sense.

I'd rather see Mitch at first
than Endy on the baseball field except in some crazy pinch running situation in which Craig Gentry is unavailable. I’d take Norbit pinch hitting, he’s had success so far.

“[C.J. Wilson] wants $100MM, and he’s not getting that from us,” a Rangers source tells Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com. The source says that if Wilson leaves Texas for free agency, Alexi Ogando and Neftali Feliz would both be converted into starting pitchers next season.

What a strange leak
I’d say “negotiating tactic” if it were made at any point in the off-season, but jesus.
well since he's not asking for that
I wonder who’s making this shit up
we're from Texas
CJ says "Relax"
He's not?
That’s the number that gets thrown out most frequently this offseason…but I think it keeps assuming the Wilson is going to have a phenomenal outing.

It wouldn't surprise me.
But I’m guessing it’s more like 5/90ish.

Alexi Ogando has already been converted into a SP
"In fact, most of these free-swinging Padres couldn’t hit Dock’s funky palm ball. I threw it often. But by then, also, the first acid distractions entered: the TV flickered; the cracks in the wall started to move; the hand soap started to breathe — those sorts of things. Plus I was drawn to the outdoor garden between innings. Rain was near, I sensed." - A.J. Daulerio
Haha yeah...
All-Star caliber starter to boot.

Probably significantly more once you factor in the posting fee.

Or $90, or even $85.
Depends on what you mean by “significant,” I guess, but I’ve never seen anyone say Darvish will get $100, posting fee included.

I hope BGL stays for 5/90...
but if he does leave, I want to see both Ogando and Feliz in the rotation.
Let Adams close and go out and get another good arm or two for the ’pen.
