Manny 0-4 .227 now, 0 for his last 10 the last 3 games. We don't need anymore of that on the big league team
This is what Average(.500) teams do, they bring in Name guys, AJ, Berkman, Manny, hoping they have 1 last moment. Got to keep up the Fan interest.
It is what the Rangers use to do as well. I can understand the AJ signing. But I would like for us to go after more players in their prime.This is what Average(.500) teams do, they bring in Name guys, AJ, Berkman, Manny, hoping they have 1 last moment. Got to keep up the Fan interest.

Ok, we have Yu, Ogando and Holland and another ? mark scheduled for the Yankee series. Should be no excuses on the pitching end of the game for at least 3 of 4 of the games. I would wager no trade deals until JD sees the results of this series and where we are in the standings come Friday.
I'll give you LF and DH not producing, but Moreland, while in a slump since coming off the DH, has been good enough, and A.J. has been one of the more consistent hitters on the team.Another pitcher would be great. But we need some bats. We are not getting any help from our lf, 1b, dh or catcher.

Hear you loud and clear. I don't know who started the "retread" strategy for the Rangers but it is not "mostly" working. Cotts was a great idea and has had great success. Wolf, Lindblom and others did not turn out so well (I include Berkman in that formula of retread). It was a risk and the return has been just Cotts to my knowledge. I guess Wolf was a good idea as a long reliever but not a starter.
I hope you mean on its best day. Recently (as in more often than not since May) they've been none of those things.This team at its best is a strong pitching staff, solid offense, strong defense

He's still not a quality starter. You very rarely find quality starters in career journeymen because if they could start even as a decent 4/5, they would be on someone's roster. Wolf has filled roles as needed but if he continues to start he will get overexposed just as Tepesch and Grimm did and will be shown for the journeyman he is. Nothing against the guy, its just how baseball works.I am not going to throw Wolf into that group just yet. I knew it would take one bad game for some people to forget all the other great pitching he has done this year. Not saying he won't bomb out the rest of the year but he has earned a chance.
