Rangers acquire RHP Greg Reynolds for 1B Chad Tracy

PrintPer a variety of folks on Twitter, the Texas Rangers have acquired minor league righthander Greg Reynolds from the Colorado Rockies in exchange for minor league first baseman Chad Tracy.
Interesting deal...Tracy is the son of Rockies manager Jim Tracy, and while he was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2006 draft (between 1st rounder Kasey Kiker and 4th rounder Marcus Lemon) as a catcher, he is a 1B/DH at this point, and didn't appear to have a future as more than an organizational depth player with the Rangers.
Reynolds, meanwhile, was the #2 overall draft pick in the 2006 draft out of Stanford, nabbed by the Rockies ahead of fellow top-10 first rounders Evan Longoria, Clayton Kershaw, and Tim Lincecum. He has a 7.47 ERA in 94 career major league innings, and posted a 6.81 ERA in 109.2 innings in AAA last season, after posting a 5.22 ERA in 89.2 AA innings in 2010.
Neither player is on the 40 man roster, and neither player is likely to impact their respective major league clubs in 2012.

Well
This was a transaction involving one team trading a player to another team.

Ha. Well, Hamilton will definitely want to avoid the body shots with attractive young lady activities on the father of his wife’s watch.

According to the story he has a history of substance abuse problems too.
Seems like an odd choice…

Most AA nor NA sponsors
Are former users themselves.

All AA sponsors are former alcoholics
Or at least they’re supposed to be. No one understands an alcoholic like a fellow alcoholic.

Like Joe says, sponsors by definition are in recovery themselves, just farther along
And Ryan ’Clothes Horse" Appleton could probably speak more definitively on this, but I believe many CADAC programs require the counselor to be a recovering substance abuse type themselves, as well.
At least that’s how it was in the 90’s, back when Ryan’s pants were last in style. I used to date one (B-O-R-I-N-G).

Interesting deal
Only thing interesting about this is that Greg Reynolds looks like a down-on-his-luck Ryan Gosling.

The details of Pooholes' contract can be found
Besides the 240 mil, perks include:
four season tickets for every home game for ten years
• A hotel suite on road trips.
• A luxury suite at the ballpark for the Pujols Foundation, his charitable group, for 10 home games a year.
• The right to buy a luxury suite between first base and third base for all home games.

Have you seen the HBO movie "61*?"
In the movie, Mickey Mantle had his own hotel suite apart from the team. I don’t think it’s that surprising.

Only for ten games for his charity.
He has the option to BUY one, so he isn’t getting one for free.
Go Cubbies and Go Rangers!
I meant the hotel suite.
Having a suite at the ballpark seems pretty commonplace.

The second I saw there was a video link
I knew exactly what you were going to show. Ha.
as a part-time Rockies' fan
This one even stings me. I have a hard time watching Lincecum and Kershaw for that reason. Reynolds was such a cliche, bad pick.
hurts so much, we almost ban talk of it at purple row
what hurts more is longoria was under the knowledge he would be a Rockie, but due to the presence of Ian Stewart, they changed their mind in the last 24 hours. It’s one thing for your team to pass from the get go. its another completely to let the big fish off the hook

Look, this is a bad time to buy cocaine anyway. With the market how it is, it is better to rent cocaine.
but do you keep left center field on lockdown?
that is the important question
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.
So, who did TX ever get in return for Lemon, anyway?
It was a PTBNL, right?

No, just cash.
Both Lemon and Whittleman were about the be released, so being former high draft picks with a good attitude, the Rangers looked for takers on them and largely gave them away.
hindsight and shit....
