Texas Rangers 2020

Wow, that is a disastrous take. Elvis is a very, very bad offensive player & a below-average defensive one. I could prove all of that with stats, but you’re one of those guys that wouldn’t understand.

Khris Davis has ZERO to do with this trade, we just needed to move on from the last holdover of our good days. We got two prospects, maybe they pan out, maybe they don’t, but this was a positive move for the franchise going forward.

The catcher we got from the A's is pretty highly regarded so we'll see.

Hmmmm, it's a damn shame when a phrase takes on new meaning to the point that using it sincerely causes confusion.

I hate the trade of Elvis. He gets too much hate here and will be tough to replace at short, much less as a presence in the organization. And I didn't realize Davis is older than Elvis, and taking a chunk of salary. The throw-in players will have to be absolute home runs for this to work. I don't trust Falefa as a full time short, I don't care what he looked like last season. This trade doesn't look like getting something to really build with for a player that has done so much for the team and still has productivity left, and traded to a division rival.
Davis hasn't been that good in recent years, except against the Rangers, and now he doesn't even have that. LOL

This trade is a success right now in that there wasn't room for both elvis and odor on the roster

Consider it a win mainly cause if we're gonna suck I would like to see a different brand of suck.

Reached my limit with Elvis and Odor. 1 down, 1 to go.

[idigTexas 2,330]

I can't hate on Odor.

It would be nice if he was actually better at playing baseball though...

I completely agree.

Can the Rangers possibly suck worse than last season?

I am concerned.

We were the 2nd-worst team ahead of only Pitt, who will likely finish dead-ass last again. Our main competition will be Balt, they have stripped anyone usable this offseason.

Now Rougie gets to battle the immortal Brock Holt for 3B. 

[Fudbelty 2,809]

I’d rather watch Mike Olt.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,255]

TR’s retired now, think the power outage is fucking with him. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,255]

This should be our #2 pick.
