I really like that they got a solid number 3/4 starting pitcher. However we really, really , really need to upgrade third base. I see Ortiz as the shortstop and Turang staying at second but gosh darn we need some power and pop at the hot corner.
I like the idea of the going for the Josh Smith type player of the Rangers. Now is the time to spend some of our resources including someone like Sal Frelick I love Frelick but he just doesn't hit enough to play regularly in right field. His trade value is probably at its highest. Just a thought
Really like the start and REALLY like the fresh air that Pat Murphy is bringing into the room. Looks like he is a great fit as their manager. Seems to relate well to varying kinds of personalities.
Loved the return of baseball. Thought it was super funny when Hoskins sent out the the cry baby gesture. Glad no one was hurt but the word dramatic fit the moment related to McNeil's reaction. He just over reacted. :)
Really enjoying the energy of Pat Murphy. He seems so comfortable in the role and who he is as a human. This has been a breath of fresh air with his leadership just beginning to blossom. Good things on the horizon with him in the helm.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Haase traded in the next week. Catchers are usually a hot commodity. Package him and Bauers. They are both residing in Limboville.
No hares on the team just tortoises... that's not a bad thing. Just need to be patient as they move along. Looking forward to the many surprises this team and season brings.
Thanks for the article. As always lots of ifs when you are trying to project players. That's the beauty and the frustration of the game. Opportunities await as we wait to see who ascends. Competition and unwritten stories await. The story is yet to be told.
