Alexi Ogando returns, Andres Blanco to the disabled list

Ron Washington said yesterday that a position player would be removed from the active roster to make room for Alexi Ogando's return from paternity leave today. Most of us thought either Taylor Teagarden or Omar Quintanilla would be dropped.
Instead, Andres Blanco has been sent back to the disabled list with lower back inflammation to make room for Ogando.
A surprising move, although one has to wonder how much of this is a desire to keep both Mike Napoli and Yorvit Torrealba in the lineup at the same time (which Teagarden's presence allows) while not risking the loss of Quintanilla, who would have to clear waivers and accept an outright assignment, were he dropped from the 25 man roster.
It wouldn't shock me if Blanco ended up on a rehab assignment in a week or two, and wasn't activated until September 1, when rosters expand.
Craig Gentry, meanwhile, is expected to be activated tomorrow, and a pitcher -- probably Darren O'Day -- removed from the roster to make room for him.

Quintanilla must have impressed the coaches in his short time up
if we are scared of losing him
I figured we would keep Tea around given how hot Yorvit has been. I definitely want both his and Napolis bat in the lineup right now
He's starting tonight at SS.

the non-SS hitting 2nd is a huge upset

Seems like Blanco is one of the bigger disappointments this year
I mean, he wasn’t ever good, but he’s really offered nothing this season.
Go Rice Owls!
Would be a Matt Harrison fan, but I only like superstars
Given the amount of playing time that Young gets at 2B and 3B
As the backup to Kinsler and Beltre…
Blanco is pretty much relegated to backing up Elvis…
The fact we haven’t used Blanco that much is a bit of a blessing.

more important
when do start caring?
Less than 20, I certainly don’t care, even for Rangers
In the 20s, I don’t care unless they’re an interesting player or a Ranger
Probably around 35 would I start caring at all. And only after the mid 40s would I start actually looking daily to see if he got a hit.

Related to the earlier post on the 2011 Rangers stats.
And the meritocracy of roster management.
The Rangers have used 22 pitchers this year for 1034 IP
Of the 13 currently on the staff, they represent 887.1 IP with a 3.47 ERA.
The 9 no longer on the staff… 146.2 IP with a 5.52 ERA.

"I'll text AJM a picture of my junk if he wants to use it" by ab03 on Jul 7, 2011 9:30 PM CDT
On of my favorite things about this franchise now...
1) It truly is a meritocracy… if you can’t perform you will be gone.
2) Ceiling is important… if they think you’re average to below average… they will move you because of how much talent we have on the big league squad and our awesome depth in the system. [ex. Tommy Hunter]
"I'll text AJM a picture of my junk if he wants to use it" by ab03 on Jul 7, 2011 9:30 PM CDT
and 3) being a favorite of Adam J Morris gets you traded or demoted
probably since #3 probably clashes with #1 and #2
Go Rice Owls!
Would be a Matt Harrison fan, but I only like superstars
That's not entirely true.
We all have our crosses to bear and different reasons we like players.
"I'll text AJM a picture of my junk if he wants to use it" by ab03 on Jul 7, 2011 9:30 PM CDT
I dont agree with your #2
for one thing I dont think ceiling has ever not been important.
And hunter is a terrible example to use IMO. Had he not gotten hurt when he did he would have been in the ML rotation and Ogando would have been in the pen. If he got hurt in April instead of march we likely use either Bush or Kirkman as the 5th starter instead of Ogando.
Hunter wasn’t traded because of his lack of ceiling. He was traded because he was an excess part and we could clearly upgrade another position without weakening his position by trading him.
If ceiling was important Chris Davis wouldn’t have been traded. His ceiling is that of a 30+ HR above average defensive 1B. His ceiling is well above Morelands
I think Hunter got traded due to lack of ceiling
Davis was more #1 – he couldn’t perform after numerous opportunities. Ergo, bye.
Hunter ultimately didn’t have the ceiling that any of the top 5 right now have, and once Ogando showed what he was capable of that was clear to everyone. I don’t think anyone knew that at the beginning of the season, but they knew it by July.
Go Rice Owls!
Would be a Matt Harrison fan, but I only like superstars
But like I said
if Hunter doesn’t get hurt in march and instead gets hurt in April Ogando doesn’t get the rotation spot in all likelihood.
I seriously doubt we would have taken Alexi out of the pen during the season to make him a starter
If Hunter gets hurt in April we use Bush and Kirkman as the 5th starter and once Hunter is healthy he comes back into that spot.
If it wasn't Ogando...
It was going to be Feliz or Perez or some other player we acquire.
Tommy wasn’t worthless to the organization… but he wasn’t in our long term plans.
"I'll text AJM a picture of my junk if he wants to use it" by ab03 on Jul 7, 2011 9:30 PM CDT
what does the timeline of the past have to do with it?
I think that in late July, JD looked at the organizations set of pitchers and realized that of his potential starters available for 2011 and 2012 and beyond, Hunter is the guy who has any trade value (unlike Feldman) and has the lowest ceiling.
Did we know that was the case in April? No. But we know that now because Hunter was kind enough to get injured for us.
Go Rice Owls!
Would be a Matt Harrison fan, but I only like superstars
The timeline has everything in this case
If Ogando is in the pen and Hunter is in the rotation who knows if we go out and acquire Uehara.
If Hungter is in the rotation with Alexi in the pen and we do go after Uehara who knows if we are willing to include Hunter given that his replacement would be Kirkman or Hurley….not Ogando.
Ogandos ceiling is far better than Hunters regardless of what position they play but to say we traded Hunter because his ceiling is wrong IMO. We traded him because circumstances allowed us to without harming the ML club.
If those circumstances change, ie if Hunter had gotten injured in April and thus he was in the rotation or Hurley or Kirkman were in the rotation with Ogando in the pen, I doubt we are so willing to deal Hunter.
Maybe not this July... but it was only a matter of time.
A player like Hunter would have been like gold to us 3-4 years ago. We would never imagined parting with him.
Now… he’s expendable because of the talent we have, the talent in the pipeline and the talent we seek to acquire.
Previously it was just on what we wanted to acquire… we never had enough to actually warrant it.
"I'll text AJM a picture of my junk if he wants to use it" by ab03 on Jul 7, 2011 9:30 PM CDT
I'm confused....
Hunter was traded in July. The decision to trade him was likely made in July. I have no idea at all what hypotheticals predicated on Ogando being in the bullpen have anything to do with it.
Go Rice Owls!
Would be a Matt Harrison fan, but I only like superstars
Because the only reason Alexi is in the pen is because of Hunters injury latye in spring training
Alexi had just been announced he would be in the pen when Hunter got injured so they could reverse that and keep him as a starter
If Hunter gets injured in April, Alexi does not go into the rotation in all likelihood. it would have been Bush or Kirkman.
Fast forward to July and one of the biggest reasons we are comfortable trading Hunter is because of our rotation, especially Ogando, being so rock steady.
If Ogando is in the pen for one thing we may not be in the market for bullpen help like Uehara. And if we are I think we would be less willing to give up Hunter if the replacement for him is Hurley or Kirkman or someone like that.
There is the possibility Ogando goes to the rotation regardless.
Everyone was shocked when they did it in ST… it is possible the coaches and scouts saw something the rest of us didn’t and he would have made it to the rotation at some point regardless.
"I'll text AJM a picture of my junk if he wants to use it" by ab03 on Jul 7, 2011 9:30 PM CDT
I seriously doubt that if the season has already started we move Ogando from the pen
It would likely require a brief time in AAA stretching back out and getting on a starters routine again.
also you have to remember at that time we had guys like Feldman whos ETA was mid May-early June and then Webb.
I think if Hunter went down in April the club would have rolled with Bush or Kirkman for the next month until Feldman was expected back not convert Ogando from the pen to the rotation midseason. I know we have the benefit of hindsight in this exercise but I highly doubt anyone could have thought Ogando would be this good
but none of that matters
just because you can trade Hunter doesn’t mean you do trade him if you think he has a high ceiling. Because as we all know – from experience with Tommy Hunter himself – there is a dfiference between penciling someone into a rotation and actually having him there.
If the Rangers thought Hunter had a ceiling above a LAIE, I don’t think they trade him.
Go Rice Owls!
Would be a Matt Harrison fan, but I only like superstars
Same with mErlin and Joe Wieland.
Their lack of ceiling made them strong trade candidates.
"I'll text AJM a picture of my junk if he wants to use it" by ab03 on Jul 7, 2011 9:30 PM CDT
well, I think there is a difference between lack of ceiling in those two
who probably can be solid 2/3 types, but lack ace potential…
and Hunter, who can be a solid #4 for an iffy roto, but really doesn’t really belong in the middle of the rotation on a good club stuff.
Obviously prospects have the associated lack of a floor associated with them (they may never even reach replacement level, and it is a long shot for them to get to 2/3) which makes them tradeable. But the point is that their ceilings probably aren’t all that far away from someone like Harry’s.
Go Rice Owls!
Would be a Matt Harrison fan, but I only like superstars
If Hunter gets hurt in April
then We’d have traded for Ubaldo Jiminez instead of Mike Adams.
and we wouldn’t have only used 6 starting pitchers, because after Kirkman and Bush flamed out, we’d have cycled through Tomko, McClung, Hurley, NeRam, et al before Hunter came back.

Cant really take too much out of it given hes pitched sparingly and in short bursts this season

Considering Teagareden's #s
I don’t see the huge downside in letting the pitchers hit. We’re wasting a roster spot for an extrremely rare occurrence, and the sky won’t fall if the pitcher hits.

That it is a horrible idea.
Given that Kinsler is one of the few players on our team that can take a walk and work a pitcher. His OBP is still adequate even with his slump.
And Chavez, while a nice story and a guy I have no trouble rooting for, is not as good of a hitter. His 2011 results are SSS inflated and will continue to regress to his career norms as he gets more and more playing time.

He needs to start using the secondary stuff, not just for today and not just for this year, but for his whole career. At the end of last year, I saw how batters turned, how they froze. It was a really good pitch. I don’t think he knew how good it was. He should have a very good feeling about it.”

he has two breaking balls he tinkers wtih right?
a upper 70s CB and an upper 80s SL? i think he should scrap the “curve” and learn how to use the slider

Do you remember that NotQuiteAsFastButStillQuiteFast curvy thing?
I liked that one.

i don't remember really
i don’t have a josey memory, but I do remember him getting swings and misses on the hard slider when he gets it down which isn’t often
i like that more than the freeze curveball, but what do i know heh

When did this conversation happen?
Last year or has Molina reached out to him this year?

Appears to have happened today

It's as if David Murphy was to leave
I would miss him.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
But I don't disagree
but just saying…Molina thinking Feliz had great command with the other stuff led to the Patterson GS. And I did NOT want him throwing anything but fastballs against Patterson
