Texas Rangers 2022 - 2023 Offseason Thread

CY knows exactly what this team needs. He just achieved the first need. Now he and Botchy can begin finishing the rebuild. The combination of the two give me hope that we can reach the top again.

He’s off to a good start.

I have decided to update my Rangers Top 30 Prospects list. There are some new guys to add since i last did one of these. Some are new to the organization and some are simply new to the list. Others have been promoted off of the list because of how much they have played this year. That includes guys like Bubba Thompson, Josh Smith, and Ezequiel Duran. Here is my rather sketchy list.

1. Jung

2. Carter

3. Leiter

4. White

5. Foscue

6. Zavala

7. Winn

8. Harris

9. Englert

10. Crim

11. Roby

12. Acuna

13. Porter

14. Vanasco

15. Morrobel

16. Garcia, R.

17. Rocker

18. Bratt

19. Gutierrez

20. Ragans

21. Kent

22. Bradford

23. Wendzel

24. Figuereo

25. Saggase

26. Ornelas

27. Hauver

28. Acker

29. Osuna

30. Kindreich


Below are some honorable mentions. There have been times in the past that I had a hard time coming up with enough guys to make it to 30. This year there are 6 guys left over that I would have liked to have added.

Acosta, Teodo, Specht, Rodriguez, Stephan, Cueva

To me to get Bochy is as good as it gets. It seemed like the Giants were in the World Series every other year and he had solid teams without necessarily having top talent. They played good team ball.I am fired up about this.

No Crim on your list @saddles ?

He is #10 on my list. You must have looked at John Moore's list.

I’m a big fan of the new hire. Johnny Oates and wash ( mainly due to roster and front office) are the only decent or good ranger managers in my life time and Bochy is better than both. Chris young must have some great plans up his sleeve to convince a legend to come out of retirement.

 

[Kelleyman]

So via Pence Bochy integrates the analytics part of the game. Makes the right moves and motivates.

From a minimum PR standpoint this is a huge win. Not sure we could have landed him with JD

I like it best when they integrate it, but they don't allow themselves to be driven by it.

Analytics based the future in the past but sometimes things evolve and a good manager can forsee what the numbers don’t tell

 

[Senator_fan]

Just saw this. Fantastic news! JD would still be interviewing for another month. So glad he took a hike.

Bochy doesn’t need analytics, analytics needs Bochy.

I was thinking the same thing yesterday. I loved Oates as our manager.

We’re looking at a potentially shitty sports year. Teams I hate winning it all.

my worst nightmare is Astros, Philadelphia eagles, and golden state warriors winning The championship In the same year. Ughhhh
