A haul for a closer? Depends on what ya call a "haul" I guess.

I’m no expert.


2 decent prospects.

QUESTION: Is Profar an avg to below avg defensive player, regardless of where he plays now?

I think he's above average at 2b now, average at 3b, but gets to above average if he plays there everyday, below average at SS

Fun fact, 2008 is the only season we've finished below 2 million in home attendance since the Ballpark opened (1,945,000+)

Note: technically we did in 1995, but it was 1,985,000+ and we would have made it if not for the strike

Bennie. Did you see the Fangraphs write up rankings and commentary on Ranger prospects. Willie Rakes 1, Criticizes handling of Taveras. And low ranking of JPM. Also thinks Crouse more likely to be a reliever. This site has always been down on Rangers. Jeff Sullivan influenced me thinks

I wish they'd bump Gallo down to 8th in the lineup. Send a message.

 

[DT LUNA]

8th, is that all?

This list is really messed up. Ragans is still on it despite being injured, but yet no Palumbo. I don't have a problem with them including Ragans, but Palumbo should't be slighted when he is already pitching again. That and them having Mendez and Gonzalez at 8 and 9 tells me everything I need to know. It tells me to not pay any attention to their lists. lol.

Martin Perez' line from last night:

This from Scott Lucas.

Willie Calhoun's hitting streak reached 12, and he has hits in 24 of 27 (.356/.382/.534). An even hotter Scott Heineman has reached in 14 of 15, hitting .383/.439/.583 in that time. Hunter Cole has reached safely in 12 straight (.326/.380/.435).

Glad to see Rua getting a start but not at the expense of an eye injury to Gallo.
