I feel like this bankruptcy is legitimately handcuffing Chris Young right now.  I think we'd see more action on the FA front if we had an idea on what money was going to be coming in.

[Ignatius 4017]

If 5/95 was Hader’s price, I’m glad we didn’t sign him. The last 2 years (at least) of that deal are gonna be rough when he’s rolling out there in the 5th…

[CowtownHorn 5126]

I’m having a hard time understanding this tv deal. I mean, I’m sure that chunk of money is a huge part of the operations side of things, but is it so much so that it’s holding us hostage from making any moves at all? Like, there’s not even 1.9 million available to get Adolis signed? Or a few extra million for Montgomery? Maybe another decent bullpen guy? I feel like I spend enough on beer at Globe Life during the season to at least get Adolis taken care of.

In unrelated news, the life expectancy among Rangers fans with a history of cardiac issues just increased by 3.8 years.

[BehoId, The Underminer! 11669]

if we get monty back, i'll consider the offseason a success regardless of the rest.  if we don't, i'll wonder what's been going on.

In honor of Adrian making the hall.

[Post Oak 20213]

He's absolutely my favorite player of all time. I'm so happy for him.  

He was the first former player I thought of when the beat Arizona. I loved watching Sierra, Juan, Pudge, Josh, Napoli, Nolan and others but none more than him.

I wish he could've played on better teams.

I wish we could have thrown 1 more strike...

 

And yes, if he's not my favorite Ranger ever, he's #2.   Just an absolute joy to watch him play the game.  

[BehoId, The Underminer! 11669]

no other player i know of really turned it on offensively so late like he did.  good hitter until he is 30. great hitter thereafter.  significant mvp votes every year.

 

 

[Firemans4Horn 18050]

Seattle was a terrible stadium to right handed hitters. Waste of 5 years of his career. 

[Vic Mackey 47038]

Was there to see his 3,000th hit. One of my favorite players of all time. Great accomplishment.

[Vic Mackey 47038]

Awesome

I actually like both position players. 

 

[gsoda3 3262]

duffy might be the bridge UIF til we give foscue a look?

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

Likely. I still think we bring in a DH-type, but 2 of Little Josh/Zeke/Duffy are breaking camp now. Wish Jank would come back to play 4th OF. 

[Radical Larry 28620]

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

Here's our 40 move for the Robertson deal. 

You'll always have your ring, JPM.

Duarte was on the 40 for 10 whole days.

[markstanco 12577]

There are some sportwriters who, for some reason, think NOBODY should go in unanimously. 
Nolan Ryan only received 98.8% of the vote, for Christ's sake. 

Forgot about that. But it seems that there was a story titled “here is why I didn’t vote for Nolan” or similar. Pull his credentials.

I saw this poster at Wal Mart today. The child inside me refused to let me leave the store without one. It was under $6.

There are still people, some of them with a vote, that will argue honestly that Nolan shouldn’t be in the hall at all. And use stats like most walks ever, winning %, lack of cy young wins.  

[BehoId, The Underminer! 11669]

Longhorn Great Brandon Belt evidently a topic of discussion.

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

This ain’t cool.

The Rangers announced to reporters, including Jeff Wilson of Rangers Today, that shortstop Corey Seager underwent sports hernia surgery today. He apparently suffered the injury during the postseason but it hasn’t improved in recent months, eventually leading him to go under the knife. The club is hopeful he could be ready for Opening Day. “The concern level is not very high,” general manager Chris Young said, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. Per Wilson, the club is unlikely to add an extra infielder this offseason as a result of this development. 

[jeevsie 3734]

Crap.  I knew having such large balls could have its drawbacks.

[TxTower 652]

Well he did carry them in the World Series.
It was a heavy lift.

[Fudbelty 2788]

Isn’t the recovery generally 6-8 weeks on that?
