cheaptrick77 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- Outfielder Adam Hyzdu, third baseman/catcher Jamie Burke and catcher Nick Trzesniak agreed to minor league contracts with the Texas Rangers and were invited Thursday to the team's Major League spring training camp Right-handers Chris Baker and Shane Bazzell also agreed to Minor League contracts. Hyzdu, a first-round draft pick in 1990 by San Francisco, split 2005 between four teams in the Boston and San Diego organizations. He has a .219 average in 219 Major League games with Pittsburgh, Boston and San Diego. Burke has played professionally for 13 seasons but has appeared in just 73 games in the Majors, compiling a .328 batting average for the Los Angeles Angels and Chicago White Sox. He appeared in just one game for Chicago this year and hit .264 with a career-high 10 home runs and 53 RBIs in 102 games at Triple-A Charlotte.

shoelessjoelives Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Adam Hyzdu is 33 years old, correct. Baseball Almanac shows him as a .233 lifetime hitter.................219 or .233 are both project type numbers. And he is 33.......maybe I will knock the dust off my cleats and......never mind !!

cheaptrick77 Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 I'm guessing your Baseball Almanac does not include 2005 statistics .......... :whistle: Hyzdu's 7-for-36 2005 season dropped his lifetime average to .229 ('not sure where they came up with .219) :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoelessjoelives Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 You are right, they only go thru 2004. Guess they are waiting on one of us to help fund them for another year so they can include the '05 stats soon......... Still, a low .200 hitter and 33 years old............what do they see in him ??

He probably pitched some back when he was in little league, so the Rangers think he might have a chance to break in the rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
