robinson tejeda Stories - Lone Star Ball
Tejeda DFA'd
Robinson Tejeda was designated for assignment to make room for Kason Gabbard on the 25 man roster. I'd be surprised if Tejeda is claimed, and since he has been outrighted before, he has the right to become a free agent if he clears waivers this time. If the Rangers weren't going to give him any...
Saturday morning things
So, yeah...that wasn't good last night. Evan Grant discusses the problems Jarrod Saltalamacchia is having controlling the running game, with opposing teams running more frequently, and more successfully, against him than against Gerald Laird this season. Kason Gabbard gets called up today, and...
Saturday a.m. things
A lot of excitement yesterday. And the Rangers, of course, are back to a game below .500. Evan Grant talks about the struggles of the bullpen, with last night being the latest instance. On the weird pitchout where B.J. Upton successfully stole second, Tejeda apparently threw a changeup, instead...
Gabbard down, Tejeda up, Nippert clears waivers

Kam Loe sent down
T.R. Sullivan reports that Kam Loe, who has really struggled this spring, has been optioned to AAA. Sullivan says that Robinson Tejeda, Josh Rupe, and Wes Littleton are vying for the final two bullpen slots.
Tuesday a.m. things
Evan Grant reports that the Cubs have come talking to the Rangers again about Marlon Byrd, but Jon Daniels isn't budging on what he wants in return for Byrd. Grant says that Daniels wants Donald Veal, Sean Gallagher, or Jose Ceda, along with Matt Murton, for Byrd. That seems rather aggressive, to...
The Battle in the Bullpen
T.R. Sullivan says that it looks like Robinson Tejeda is going to stick in the bullpen as a second long man (along with Jamey Wright), with the Rangers liking his arm and not wanting to risk him getting plucked off the waiver wire by another team. Sullivan says that Franklyn German has the inside...
