Duran is one reason it didn't make sense in the last offseason to overspend either in free agency or trade for a LF.

 

[Kelleyman]

He might be available

Haha, I was coming on to post this.

Nice to see how well Seager is hitting after being off so long.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Where does Dunning fit in with his 1.69 ERA?

See how well things are going as far as starting pitching is concerned? I left out the dude with the lowest ERA.
If he keeps pitching like he is, I'd probably slot him between a healthy deGrom (I am factoring in deGrom's track record as well as this season) and Nathan Eovaldi when ranking the rotation.
If Gray with an ERA of 3.02 is currently your 4th best SP, that's a championship caliber rotation.

 

[saddles]

Give me a closer and 2 set up men and I think the Rangers could go to the World Series.

The Semien/Seager resurgence, Adolis' year, Duran and Jung, and the rotation have turned this into a very special year. All of that without very much at all from deGrom.

There us still a chance that a youngster or two like Carter, Foscue, Zavala, White, Bradford and Kent could figure into improving the team later this year.

I'm really fascinated to see if Carter gets a shot. He's got franchise player potential.

Kent and Foscue have the best shot methinks
Is Kent rostered? Seems like he has to or we might lose him

 

[Duane1952]

Leon is a waste of a roster spot. Automatic out every time he comes to bat.

Yes, he is.

 

[saddles]

Smith getting an at bat reminded me. He has gone 8 for 22 (.363) with 3 doubles and a HR this month, and he is kind of the odd man out. A year or two ago that would guarantee him a month's worth of starts. This offense has come a long way.

 

[DT LUNA]

How much longer for Hernandez before he is gone?

At the end of the game. He’s terrible.

 

[Kelleyman]

Maybe Hernandez is sent down. He looks mentally struggling. He has good stuff. Hear he may need to develop a 2 seam pitch up in the zone for a strikeout

King doesn’t look any better.

 

[saddles]

CY really needs to make an early trade or two and quit assuming the pen is better than it has shown to be.

Does he have an option left?
