We shall see Ray. We shall see.

One guy responded to Sullivan''s tweet about Ray Davis' comment and questioned the drafting and development of players with JD at the helm. His was met with a response by a guy listing 5 or 6 players who have made it to the big leagues from the Rangers organization as a defense of JD''s ability. Two of the guys he listed were Chi Chi and Luke Jackson. Lol. With fans like that JD doesn't need any detractors.

Should I delete the tweet?

Hopefully, a part of the long term contract discussions was an understanding that the team needs to embrace a proper rebuilding process.

Only if you are indeed Nate Devlin. lol

You know in player development, I think a players mental state including handling pressure and the grind of a season and training is huge. A lot of these are kids just growing up and developing right before our eyes. Some have good stuff but need more work between the ears IMO

Good they need to be ready


The highlight of our season will be July 31st unfortunately

The highlight of the season for me is watching all the young guys develop

Whatever happens in July may well be determined by injuries or poor play by players on contending teams. We have a lot of pieces available, but multiple teams will have to develop strong interest to bring back something that can help us 2-4 years down the road. I never want players to get hurt, but if some are going to get hurt I hope we have a Plan B available for them.

Thanks, Perd Hapley

Perd Hapley???

That one went over my head.

What are you willing to spend in free agency on the top 2 spots in the rotation and who should we pursue?

Will an ace cost $30 million AAV?

Will a #2 cost $22 million AAV?

Or do we try to develop our own?

This is Perd Hapley:

He's from the show Parks and Recreation, and his schtick is to literally explain simple concepts in a lot of detail.

Lol

Sometimes thinking outside the box brings negative reactions, but when you think inside the box that isn't received well either. I guess you can't please everybody and some can never be pleased.

That's how life goes.
