thegreatbambino Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Also Rangers will recieve a player to be named later in the Hamels, Kela, and Diekman trades. So 3 more guys will be Rangers at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would not bring much in a trade & I would like to see him go out as a Ranger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Something to think about this offseason. Apparently Banny and JD are thinking of going with a Rays type of bullpen days to fill out their rotation next year. 4 starters with the 5th being a bullpen guy based upon the matchup. Gonna be interesting to see if they do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Martin Perez headed to the pen and may be gone in the off season. Apparently Rangers want cheaper arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s gonna give the analytic guys in the front office get to play. I’m expecting a Tampa Bay West approach to the rotation. 4 starters, heavy depth in the bullpen. Perez has a $7.5m ‘19 option and a $750k buyout. That’s a little high for Perez but not too bad for a guy entering his prime. Why is it imperative that you save $6m by letting him walk? I still swear up and down that Davis & Simpson are gonna ramp up the farm system, cut payroll, get that new stadium in ‘20 and let the new ownership reap the benefits while goosing their investment.

THSfanatic Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Obviously I'm not a Rangers fan so I have no lean one way or the other. But in today's game communication with the players is a must. I have no idea what the truth is, but if the players turn on you then you are a goner. Old school managers are being replaced by player-friendly coaches all the time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will stand on my soapbox until I’m proved wrong, but I’ll say it again - “The Rangers will be sold sooner rather than later.” Simpson and Davis are sprucing the Rangers up for it. New stadium, cut salary so new ownership can splurge on free agents to juice the attendance, young talent core, bring in a new manager who understands they are a place holder until the real manager gets hired by the new owners. Y’all can call me crazy if this doesn’t happen within the next 2-3 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new stadium will sell seats for a little while but won’t last forever without a good team. I’d really like to see a new GM. His philosophy is low risk high reward free agents. That’s not working. Read where they are going to be very active in the free agent market but then they said they would not be looking at the top pitching free agents. This team needs an ace and a good number 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol There’s too many small things going on, that when you step back and look at the big picture it’s hard not to see a McClane Sell part 2. When McClane and Wade started selling off players like Pence and oh, what’s the center fielders name, he went to Atlanta or Philly I think, what level prospects did they get back? Similar to what Daniels traded Darvish for? Cole Hamels? Deals that made fans feel like we gave away great talent for peanuts. I don’t think they’ve been bad owners. It’s just we can see what this is leading to. Hopefully it’s not another Tom Hicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I'm not a Rangers fan I don't wish what we went through on anybody. It was like 4 years without a team. There are lots of teams trying it now so it will be even harder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
