Battle for the silver boot continues in Houston 05/11-05/13

Looking at the bigger picture here...

I’m going to be VERY disappointed if we don’t make at least 3 trades this deadline.

JD needs to be active. Get some young talent. Rebuild this team.

I wouldn’t mind a fire sale.

 

[Kelleyman]

Do any of you think Beltre will ever play for another team. I have my doubts.

Father Time is undefeated. The body ages. That is a fact. He still has a great bat but IMO the time is now to prepare for another 3B next year regardless. Wonder if DH could protect wear and tear a bit

They should have made more trades last July instead of chasing after that second wildcard spot(fool's gold).

Guess that is why they traded Darvish. Oh and there were many teams who wanted Cashner?

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

I think he will in about 10 weeks or so. I also think he will come back after this season and play at least one more year.

It's May 13 and he's already been hurt twice. And he's 39. At some point teams aren't going to play him, and we are rapidly approaching that day.

I really don't think this hamstring is anything to be surprised about.

No one is surprised.

I see you're still choosing that hill to die on. Godspeed to ya.

I think AB is in control of his own destiny except he probably knows at 39 and injury prone he does'nt command much value

If he asks to be traded, I'm sure the Rangers will accomodate him, but I don't expect the return would be significant.

Haha. It isn't me that is dying or suffering it us the trade values of those they waited too late to trade that have suffered.

I used the word "more" for a reason.

He has really only had the one injury. The team brought him back too early. That was a mistake. This team seems to make more and more of those.

New thread is up.

knowing AB he probably was the one who pushed so hard to get back too early

But you did not explain specifically who should have been traded and what could have been expected. It just comes across as criticism. I was to assume Darvish was your caveat? Sorry
