Agree.When healthy, this could very well be his best season.
Some of the Rangers offseason decisions are questionable, but decidung to hang onto Elvis is not one of them.

You are probably right unless there is a perfect storm at the trade deadline and a team in the hunt is desperate for someone at that position. Crazier things have happened.There seems to be an assumption that b/c EA is playing terrific there is an automatic 'great' return on him if we traded him. I've yet to see any team(s) mentioned who would want him.
Granted, he's played lights out, and he's earned his contract for several years now. But I can't come up with a natural trading partner. Anyone?
I have always said guys have to get experience hitting pitchers from the same side to get better at that. Too many times folks are tempted to put the label on a young player that he can't hit pitching from a certain side. Many times I believe that label is put on way too early and is applied with super glue.Numbers game
Scary good number: Perhaps the biggest hurdle preventing Nomar Mazara from moving into superstar status last season was his inability to hit lefties. He made strides as the season progressed, but the overall numbers were ugly. This season, Mazara had hits six of his first 13 at-bats against lefties with a pair of walks. Stretch it back to last August 1 and he is hitting .338 for 68 at-bats vs. lefties. Among the 50 left-handed hitters with at least 50 at-bats vs. lefties in that stretch, it ranks fifth.
I heard at least 3 weeks.Ain't that the truth.
Incidentally, how long is Odor supposed to be on the shelf?
Gallo to the OF and Guzman is coming up.
And another thing......Calhoun. What has he shown us that would put him on the big club. Other than a reputation for hitting in the minors what do we know about his ability to break in on defense?Don't agree at all with this/these moves.
So Rua gets fucked, yet again? And this helps us how/and-or tells us what - about 2019+ IMO?
