Is "Chris" Gentry the new Neftali Perez?
It's baseball. You don't always get what you want, and you don't always want what you get. --Ed Coffin
Exactly my first thought.
As good as Prince Fielder would've looked in a 4XL Rangers' uniform, we all know you win with pitching. -- JJT
The truth about MLers from a MLer, Todd Coffey:
"In my heart of hearts, if it's the right contract, I would look to definitely come back to the Nationals."
ANd MY to 2nd
Baseball's hard, guys. I mean, it really is. You can love it but, believe me, it don't always love you back. It's kind of like dating a German chick, you know?

You’re welcome (spoken in derisive manner).
Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
In this case,
I retroactively remove all traces of derision from my post.
"Put a bird on it"
I would be happy
If either became the full time centerfielder.
"Pawtucket Patriot Beer. If you drink it, hot women will have sex in your backyard."
at this point
I am starting to get my hopes up pretty high for Prince signing as a Ranger.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.

Wow. Even with some regression to the mean,
That is some shit right there.
"the PGT isn’t about alerting drunk guys on their mobile as to what the score was." --goET 7-24-11
There will most likely be some regression
But I think that a few players will improve offensively
I hate The Angels so much, it's actually cramping my style. (See RevHaloFans SBN profile page)

Oh shit, foreshadowing right there.

Some see a glass half empty, some a glass half full. I see a glass that's twice as big as it needs to be. - George Carlin
someone do the math
900 runs with Fielder in the lineup? 855 in 2011.
Some see a glass half empty, some a glass half full. I see a glass that's twice as big as it needs to be. - George Carlin
That's 45 more.....
Can someone check my math?

baseball porn..
That is probably illegal in several states
JD’s like, "you want some f*&#ing pitching? Here’s all the pitching you can stand. Now choke on it, b*#&hes!"- RCCook
LSB: "Oh s#*t, JD. You crazy!"
that lineup is definitely illegal in Seattle...
Go Rice Owls!
Would be a Matt Harrison fan, but I only like superstars
Going to go ahead and bring the crazy theory...
Based on the tweets about Sox needing to move money to get Oswalt or Jackson.
Have them pay a significant piece of Crawford… trade him to us.
Sign Fielder
Hamilton plays CF this year.
Enjoy crushing everything.
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
you have gone off the reservation, sir
although…
I like the sign Fielder part
but not so much the Hamilton plays CF part.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
How do you figure?
Carl Crawford is not Vernon Wells.
At something like $12M Crawford is good value.
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
Crawford at $12 per for 6 more years? not terrible but would you take it after his 2011?
would Boston actually be willing to eat $42 mil? If Crawford were to return to form, they’d be awfully pissed
by Baseball North on Jan 16, 2012 3:58 PM CST up reply actions
Well...
The group that signed him was different management. And allegedly ownership doesn’t care for him.
But last year was a bit of an aberration in my opinion… certainly the bad UZR numbers would seem to be. Playing LF at Fenway screws up defensive metrics.
Crawford at $12 per for 6 more is a probably worth that.
As I said… it’s a crazy thought. But Crawford would be an intriguing long term alternative if the Red Sox were willing to give up on him. Likely won’t happen.
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
And then...sign Roy, and trade Harry for Jones
And ship Cruz out at the trade deadline!!!
Jones, Hammy, Hot Carl across the OF, King replaces Josh in 2013.

"I have thought a lot about why people get so hostile online, and I have come to believe it is primarily because we live in a society with a hypertrophied sense of justice and an atrophied sense of humility and charity, to put the matter in terms of the classic virtues." --Alan Jacobs
another Fangraphs article
Josh Hamilton for five years, $110 million
or
Price Fielder for seven years, $160 million
both start in 2012
go vote
I voted Fielder

false choice
Neither will be Rangers if those are the terms.

I think this is the correct answer.

I haven't really taken into account how this may impact Face(signing Fielder).
Meltdown number #3 looms on the horizon. Face, Harry and Moreland to Toronto for Rasmus or Face, Olt and Moreland to Rockies for Fowler. I’m bad at this. So someone suggest a good trade including Face as he will be demanding a trade as Prince doesn’t take days off.
I sports hate you CJ.
There's a good chance face will get time at 1st if we add Fielder (on days he DHs)
Napoli will be the starting catcher, so fewer days at first. And there’s not roster room for Moreland in this scenario, so he’s a non-issue (in RR or traded)
In that case
kudos for persevering and typing anyway.

Epstein once said all he wants is an above average player at each position
Not superstars. Rangers would have that.

Michael Dean Chadwick, Josh Hamilton’s father-in-law, now will not be Hamilton’s accountability partner because of family considerations.

I no longer drink nor do drugs
I would like to have that job.

I still do.
But I feel I could be an effective accountability partner for Hambone. I’ll get drunk and he can watch me ruin my own life. “SEE WHAT THIS SHIT DOES TO YOU JOSH?? VOMIT YOU REALLY WANT TO END UP LIKE THIS?? NOW GET THE FUCK OUT THERE AND HIT SOME HOMERS. PASSES OUT”

"I hate you doing this to me, Hamilton.
But because I am your accountability partner, I’m going to sleep with these three loose women you brought back to the hotel. I’m taking one for the team here, buddy. And so are these ladies."

That's dumb if it was because of concerns over nepotism
If his father in law is good for this sensitive matter then it should be him.

Indeed.

Fielder in a blowout. RT @jdondlinger: @Kevin_Goldstein Over the next 5-7 years who would you rather have? Fielder or Hamilton?
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
just end contract extension talks with Hamilton
and sign Fielder. Let someone else take the risk with Hamilton and give us extra draft picks next year.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
I'll do it.
I don’t drink, smoke or do drugs. I’m a Southern boy. Will work cheap. That’s my resume, call me JD.
Baseball's hard, guys. I mean, it really is. You can love it but, believe me, it don't always love you back. It's kind of like dating a German chick, you know?
And you have mastered the reply fail!
