The girl just got paid. Not sure how much residency you need in CA to file and get alimony, but she will get a #### ton more money from the divorce now. Maybe josh should make one more run through sherlocks before he splits. Could save him 50Mil.
correction: the currently not-fat girl who will get fat very soon (and is a bit psycho in the meantime)
Yeah, she did Jenny Craig last year and dropped a few lbs, but she has always been pudgy and is now way hot enough to deal with her psycho #####y ways.
Well, the bar (catching market)was pretty spare to start with. I mean there was your ex chubby kinda cute chick you had some great times with and some nice enough not that cute girl some guy fell all in live with. Pretty much everything else is some version of
You did keep stringing along your desparation girl, so you won't be totally empty handed.
I'd much rather see us put together a package to get Porcello from. DET.
even better
Ugh. I kind of liked the Rangers too. Oh well. Have fun rooting for that.
don't care if the guy is a tool, as long as he is prodctive as player i will cheer for him. if he can't control the toolishness on the field costs the team runs etc. then that's a different story.
no way the Rangers or most teams sign Bourn and lose the first round draft pick plus dollars associated with itAnd I doubt the DBacks would trade Parra - he will likely platoon with Cody RossBUT clearly Arizona wants to move an OF and likely one to go now is Jason Kubel
That lineup is not horrible. I still see Profar breaking ST with the club, but could rotate with Kinsler/Moreland/Berkman in some sort of 1B/2B/DH combo. Give Elvis day off at SS.
Ya, I just don't think it makes sense to have Profar with the club when the season starts unless they trade Elvis or Ian. You don't just extend Kinsler to the tune of 5/$75 and then turn him into super utility infielder. You don't call up Profar to do it either.
does Profar have a super-2 timing issue? from my quick search, it doesn't appear to be a problem to have him make the club out of ST.
It's the same as for every other rookie. Profar's September callup doesn't change much. The Rangers have to avoid him being in the top 22% of qualifying players. The new CBA moved the threshold 5% in the favor of the players. The safest way is to leave him in the minors through mid-June (or thereabouts). He's only 19 and the Rangers don't really have a hole for him to fill. I don't see much reason to bring him up early unless there's an injury to somebody else.
at least they know they have replacements just a phone call away with Profar and Olt - they don't have to make some stupid deadline trade
so is Olt starting on the farm also?
Yup they want them both to play every day until they need to call them upso is Olt starting on the farm also?
I think Olt could be your RH platoon for both Moreland and Murphy when the matchup calls for it. You have the righty/lefty platoon at Catcher and CF, Olt could be useful to help the other two positions that need it.Lineup discussed on radio this morning:Kinsler - RElvis - RMurphy - LBeltre - RBerkman - S (but really L)Cruz - RSoto/AJ - R/LGentry/Martin - R/LMoreland - LBreaks up the right-handed bats as much as possible, but you are really counting on Murphy to continue his improvement at the plate and that bottom third is less than frightening.'Captain Hook said:Yup they want them both to play every day until they need to call them up'coolnerd said:so is Olt starting on the farm also?'Bogart said:

Berkman will most likely bat 3rd. Murphy led the team in OBP last year. I could live with him batting 1 or 2 if he can continue those numbers.

If he falls back to his career averages vs lefties I would agree. Last year he out hit everyone in the team vs lefties except Cruz and Kinsler with 347/405/440 triple slash. I'd give him a shot to hit lefties and see if he made an adjustment last year that is working.Murph can hit wherever he wants against righties.

His BaBIP last year was over .400 against lefties. If you aren't familiar with that statistic the league average is around .290, Murphy's career number is .317. Last year against lefties his was .433. In other words, he ran super super super super super good to hit the way he hit. The odds of him doing that again are astronomical.Although in less than 100 AB's I suppose anything is possible.If he falls back to his career averages vs lefties I would agree.

That's a good point. I didn't look at his babip splits. I agree that will most likely come down, how far it does I don't know. Will probably get a shot at playing everyday until it does come back to earth though.'ZBTHorton said:His BaBIP last year was over .400 against lefties.

Not sure why you think there will be "zero" bench - and two replacements named Olt and Profar are just a phone call away if/when they need them
Unlikely that Cruz is suspended BUT if he is then it would make more sense to have Moreland in RF and Olt at 1B
1) They don't have to - Colon, Melky, and Grandal have already been suspended in the last year2) It is not names on the rolodex, it supposedly is detailed notes of when they bought, paid for, had shipped and what it was from this doctor's office
OK, after drinking all weekend and thinking about this, I think Olt and Profar both break with the big club. Wash finds a way to get them into the lineup every third day and gives his regulars plenty of rest.
