Had all of Yu I could watch last night without going ballistic. So distance was the better part of verbal valor.
But did want to chime in regarding the lack of effort to sign Morales.
First, if you're going to offer him an insulting offer, then why do anything? Second, we had the money via insurance to sign him for this year, and then see what happens. Third, I said before he went to the Twins that by us not making an effort to improve would be a very negative sign to both the team and our fan base.
No, I don't think he was the savior of this season. But he would have given us some offensive help, while giving us fans something to hang our hat on; at least a little.
And, if he turned out alright - would have been a nice trade chip to dangle at the deadline. (if the Rangers were indeed out of it at that time).
That said, he isnt exactly setting the place on fire so far... .216/.273/.275/.547 with 5 RBI in 55 PA's.
