I was hoping to see him in a Rangers uniform, but he got a little expensive for a set-up guy. Oh well.

"You gotta think the hitters don't feel too comfortable hitting off him," Teagarden said. "It's hard enough catching him."

Baseball is funny. Use stats that require 3rd grade math and you're "smart." Use better stats that require 6th grade math and you're "dumb."

Really well written explanation on why she chose Andrus. Great write up. Sorry if this was posted somewhere else.

Danny Gutierrez, Texas Rangers: The Kansas City Royals basically gave him away because of his attitude and off-field issues, but it's a good arm that is coming back nicely from a shoulder injury. He sits at 92-94 mph and touched 95 with a good curve that he can change speeds on. He's also just 22, and with improved maturity, has some weapons to be an impact starter.
Matt Harrison, Texas Rangers: The good news is that he touched 94 mph in short stints in his return from thoracic outlet surgery, but he won't work there as a starter and his upside is limited due to his inability to miss enough bats.

Kevin Goldstein Chat

Jake (Houston): Any hope for Rangers prospects Danny Gutierrez or Neil Ramirez?
Kevin Goldstein: I think there is lots of hope for both. Ramirez flashed good stuff at times this year, while Gutierrez really has the makeup concerns over anything he does on the mound. He just has to get his head screwed on straight.
Mario66 (Toronto): Would you use Scheppers as a starter or reliever?
Kevin Goldstein: 100% reliever, and get him to the big leagues as soon as possible, because you know he's going to break at some point.
