Mike Napoli to the disabled list, Taylor Teagarden being recalled
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 12, 2011 9:52 AM CDT

PrintPer Jeff Wilson, Texas Rangers catcher Mike Napoli is being placed on the disabled list with a strained oblique, and Taylor Teagardn is being recalled.
I thought that there might be a move coming today, with Dave Bush logging a bunch of innings yesterday before leaving with a bruised hamstring. I figured that Texas might put him on the d.l. and bring up a new long reliever, so that there was an arm available in the pen this afternoon, should Matt Harrison struggle.
Napoli, though? I didn't see that coming.
This is a blow to the Rangers...Napoli has been one of the team's more potent bats this year, and along with splitting time behind the plate with Yorvit Torrealba, he has gotten time at first base and DH.
No news just yet as to how long Napoli will be on the shelf. I will update this post going forward as we get more info.

Hmmm.
I wonder if he has ever played catcher? He is adept at doing the splits.

Yes, he grew up a catcher idolizing Pudge.

can we put kinsler on the DL for him?..help him in some way?..maybe move kinsler to the bottom of the lineup to take his spot….plz
Why would we do this?
Kinsler has been one of the team’s best players this year. And he’s 6th on the team in wOBA.

You can selectively frame stats to bolster your argument all you want
For example, he’s 4th in OBP. Best plate discipline on the roster, leading in walks. Second in steals, first in runs. Stuck with the lowest BABIP next to Naps. Tied for the lead in WAR among position players.

Kinsler is one of the most overtated players in baseball..the rangers would be better off trying to trade him for some pitching instead of holding onto him and paying him some outrageous amount to be below average. Play MY at 2nd and solidify the offense..if you remember the rangers took off offensively last year when they finally dumped him out of the top of the lineup
Kinsler is not below average
And replacing him with Young wouldn’t upgrade the offense. In terms of wOBA or wRC+, he’s been better than Young this year.
And Kinsler is a whole lot better than Young defensively.
Kinsler is one of the most underappreciated players on this team.

He is citing facts in order to support his argument, but the problem is that the cited facts have nothing to do with his arguments:

In controlled atmospheres, an apple can be stored for several month without spoiling, and has been feature prominently in many mythological tales as a forbidden fruit. These are all facts, and it’s time that we remove apples from our daily lives and use that resources and energy to grow something else, like water chestnuts.

Yes, he's been one of the best players on the team
He’s been one of the team’s better offensive players while playing very good defense at a key defensive position.
I’d say Kinsler, Beltre, and Elvis have been the best three players on the team this year, and you could put them in any order and I wouldn’t really argue.

take out the first 3 hot start games..and he has batted .227 4hr and 20..all the while having most plate appearances..batting .000 with bases loaded…211 with runners on and miracously even worse .200 with RISP..if you think he has been MVP you are seriously deluded
I don't get hung up on performance w/RISP...
…because those sorts of things even out.
And I certainly don’t care about performance with the bases loaded. What he’s done in 3 PAs with the bases loaded isn’t really relevant to the discussion.
He’s tied for 5th among major league 2B in wRC+, and is 5th among major league 2B in fWAR.
He’s been one of the best second basemen in the majors this season, and one of the best players on the Rangers.
All that being said…who do you think the team MVP has been?

You can hope for better
I’m not going to get too worked up if he’s no better than the 5th or 6th best 2B in baseball, though.

So far on this team..the MVP is the starting pitching..offensively i would say MY and Moreland have been the most consistent..I took out the 3 game start to just show how anemic he has been for 95% of the season..take out 3 games from anyone else and you want see as bad a drop as you do with that guy
One of the really big reasons that...
…the starting pitching has been as good as it has been is because of the great defense behind them. With Kinsler, Andrus and Beltre, you have one of the best defensive infields in baseball.
And as for MY, as I pointed out above, he’s been no better than Kinsler offensively.

but you guys want to find a Norm Hitzges stat.." wednesdays…night games at home….he leads the team in doubles"..
Actually, you’re the one who wants to find a “Norm Hitzges stat” — i.e., isolating a certain portion of the season while ignoring the rest.
He’s been a solid offensive contributor this season. You can use OPS if you want, or you can use something like wOBA or VORP, and you’ll come to the same conclusion.
He’s also been very good defensively. If you look at any of the advanced defensive statistics, it will show this.
This isn’t about “Norm Hitzges stats,” and unlike you, no one is trying to say, “Look at just this portion of the season or his game.”
He’s been one of the best players on the team this year. Period.

If you're really serious about this, and open to learning a little
You should check this site out and find out how to both use statistics better, and how to use better statistics.
Because the stats you’re using are incredibly basic and kinda meaningless over a small sample size.
And in the case of errors, just meaningless period.
I’m willing to bet there’s people here that would agree Kinsler’s not actually the “team MVP” despite the fact that he leads the team in WAR, but the things you’re trying to cite are not reasons why he isn’t.

Once, I was making Paella for dinner
I moved the pot off the stove and realized I under-salted the dish, so I went to grab the salt but accidentally touched the stove with my hand. I must have yelped like a Scotsman.
That made my kind of angry, so I spend the next 30 minutes lecturing the stove about how it’s supposed to heat the pot and the food inside, not my finger, because my finger would not taste as good, etc etc.
A couple of weeks later, I was wiping off the stove after cooking, but accidentally burned my finger again.
