They have a couple of other good dudes, but yeah, that team's depth chart is swiss cheese.Not sure if anyone is aware of this, but Mike Trout is pretty good.

I was at this game. This HR was a ####### bullet, one of his hardest hit balls of the year on a 77 mph changeup. Guy went 3-6 with a HR, double, 2 RBIs and a run, plus a sweet first-to-third on a single to right. Guy is just an amazing specimen to see in person. This is honestly the kind of thing that some day I will tell my grandkids about (as they push me down while in a VR Simulation).
And say what you will about the Pujols contract, but the guy is going well over 100 RBI this year and only has 60-something Ks. He and Trout went back-to-back and Pujols also crushed a double to dead center. He's still got life, and unfortunately the rest of that team is pretty much crap.
Gallo has hit 0.130 over the last week to bring his AAA average down to 0.243. Gotta fix some holes in his swing.Peyton Marino said:Update?
The trouble is he has more hole than swing.Gallo has hit 0.130 over the last week to bring his AAA average down to 0.243. Gotta fix some holes in his swing.
Beltran has slashed .221/.256/.337 in his 23 games with the Rangers. He's also been a negative on the basepaths and in the field when he's not DH'ing. I don't know how Gallo has done over that same time frame, but my point is you can't judge a decision based on ~15-25 games of results. After 15 games with Texas, Beltran was hitting .315, now a week and a half later he's hitting 100 points lower. Bad slumps or hot streaks can skew numbers pretty quickly.Gallo has hit 0.130 over the last week to bring his AAA average down to 0.243. Gotta fix some holes in his swing.
I don't disagree with any of this. He had a horrible 0-for streak. But I also stick by the fact that, contrary to many of the people on here, I don't think it was Gallo's spot that Beltran took. Gallo just isn't ready. Hopefully Beltran is turning it around with his 2 for 4 night last night, and his 2 for 3 night with a homer and double so far tonight.Beltran has slashed .221/.256/.337 in his 23 games with the Rangers.

I hope you're rooting for Gallo, even if you think this is a good move by the Rangers. I don't but understand why they did it.I don't disagree with any of this. He had a horrible 0-for streak.

I'm a huge Gallo fan, have been ever since the team drafted him. Loved the Brinson/Gallo first round selections. Don't get me wrong, I wish he was crushing it in Arlington and pushed Moreland to the bench. He just isn't there, and I trust what the management team is doing right now with the moves they are making.I hope you're rooting for Gallo, even if you think this is a good move by the Rangers.

that is fair. I think I agree with the latter part. Gallo was up a couple times this year and they were always hesitant to play him, especially against lefties (which is very understandable). I don't feel like looking up Belt's splits but it might be worth trying a platoon after the AAA season is finished and the rosters expand.I don't disagree with any of this.

Has the god-fearing Rockies written all over himTebow is such a perfect fit for the Royals I'm not sure why they haven't signed him yet.
I didn't even know he had a dog.skip bayless openly pulling his pug live on periscope to the tebow tryouts this afternoon. incredible stuff.

Bit of a stretch there, eh, Hawk?
I think he goes to quite a few games, but still manages to get 200 posts in the Hillary thread while he's there.The Anaheims might as well bring back Timmy
But only 0.3 posts in the Angels thread.I think he goes to quite a few games, but still manages to get 200 posts in the Hillary thread while he's there.
More than that team deservesBut only 0.3 posts in the Angels thread.
That Gardner catch to end it was something.Crazy game in the Bronx
Even he was shockedThat Gardner catch to end it was something.
jesus dudeSanchez basically just sticks his glove over the plate and blocks hitters swings. can't wait till this guy regresses to the mediocre prospect who had one good hot streak that he is. #### the Yankees.
No, the media just makes him out to be because he wears pinstripes.jesus dude
His block on the wild pitch with a runner at 3rd in a 7-6 game was huge. Kid looks awesome both at the plate, and behind it. He's good.No, the media just makes him out to be because he wears pinstripes.
His blocked swings are pretty solid too. He was mostly a 260/320/450 guy in the minors. He'll be an average hitter, likely good for a catcher but the hype is dumb.His block on the wild pitch with a runner at 3rd in a 7-6 game was huge. Kid looks awesome both at the plate, and behind it. He's good.
Interestingly enough I was gonna bump some of your Matt Boyd is awful posts from last year, but since I didn't want to jinx it I didn't.Northern Voice said:His blocked swings are pretty solid too.

I'll come bump this next year when he's hitting under .250 in July with fewer home runs than he has in his one month this year.
