Loe sent out

Remember when the Rangers thought Kam Loe and Chris Young were the same pitcher? I do. Well maybe Loe just needs to go to San Diego and he will pitch better. Ha ha. I remember everything they say and do to justify what they do. If Botts makes the team, then Cruz has to make it. It is the same logic. Trade Byrd and/or Cat to open up a place for Cruz. Why do we need a right handed hitting first baseman? Remember when Ron Washington said Broussard was going to play full-time, bat against right and left handers? I do. The statistics speak for themselves, Broussard can’t hit left handed pitching. If he could, he would still be in Seattle and or Cleveland. Is the Cat and Byrd still here? Salary dump, Salary dump. Why is Cat still here? Why did he come here? Bradley is my full time DH, Cruz is my RF, Ham in CF and Murphy in LF. Not too bad, young and the future. But alas no, we must win this year. Have they looked at the Angels and A’s pitching staffs? Angels, Tigers, Red Sox, and Indians. We will be lucky to climb out of 4th place. So get on with it, start finding players for our future. Are Bradley, Cat, Broussard, even Young going to be here 3 to 5 years down the road? No…. So everytime we play those 30 year olds it just delays the progress of someone that can and will help us in the future. That is all i am saying, give youth a chance. I think you will find that it is eager to please, wants to prove they belong and will hustle on every play. I personally believe that it would be exciting to watch, just as it was to watch Young and Kinsler develop.

“Remember when the Rangers thought Kam Loe and Chris Young were the same pitcher? I do.” – Do you have a link to a quote from someone in the organization that will back that up? If those 2 were compared based on their heights it would only be natural, but anyone who actually watches the Rangers knows that Kam is a groundball pitcher and CY is a flyball pitcher. They are complete opposites in terms of how they attack hitters.

“Loe just needs to go to San Diego and he will pitch better.” – It can’t be ignored that Chris Young, the flyballer, has benefited enormously from playing the cavernous PETCO Park. He’s great in that pitcher’s haven (1.69 ARA) and totally mediocre on the road (4.52 ERA.)

“If Botts makes the team, then Cruz has to make it. It is the same logic.” – If roster space were unlimited it would be logical to keep both. In the real world where a roster is limited to 25 players you can only have 2 back up outfielder/DH types and one of them needs to be able to play first base.

“That is all i am saying, give youth a chance. I think you will find that it is eager to please, wants to prove they belong and will hustle on every play.” – I think you’ll find that the Rangers have one of the younger rosters in baseball. They were in the bottom third of the league last year even with Lofton and Sosa on the club.

By the way, i don’t believe that this is a court of law and heresay is enough. Heresay means that a friend of a friend told me something. Ha ha. I will use it in a sentence for you: My friend told me that the Texas Rangers will never win, because of their refusal to commit to a total rebuilding job. In a court of law this would not be admissable. It would get struck with an objection that it was heresay. Now being the good prosecutor that i am, i would then have to put the person who said this on the stand and have them say it. In this case, i would call the former Southlake, Texas Ranger GM, Doug Melvin and ask him what did you say to Tom Hicks as you exited. “The Texas Rangers will never win, because, Tom Hicks refuses to commit to a total rebuilding job.” The State rests Your Honor!

Anyone notice when smeone points out things that D(GOD) writes that and makes a point that they are attacking him. He says he is a BIG statistic man. He doesn’t like it when the stats says different than what he preaches. But thats o.k. because the GAME will start soon.

Hopefully Loe can turn it around down there at AAA, pitch lights out, become a top rated prospect, then be traded. DVD, DVD, DVD! Now that is one stat we can all agree with, our top pitching prospects get dealt. So hype him and sure enough he will be gone. With Daniels in control who is next Harrison, Hurley, Feliz. You never ever, never ever trade young pitching. So lets say Hamilton hits like DGOD, what are his defensive skills in Center Field? I am asking because i don’t know. Is he the CF of the future or will he be moved to one of the corner spots? If he is moved to right or left field, is it really worth trading Volquez for him especially if Volquez becomes a 12 to 15 winner. I say no. If he stays in CF and becomes a stud, plays great defense, then yes. But if he is moved to a corner outfield spot, those players are a dime a dozen. An all-star CF now that is something. Hateful, hateful, hateful, is the tone of a lot of people on here. It is just my opinion people, just as it is yours. I don’t have to be right or wrong it is just an opinion. And i don’t wilt under attacks or criticism. You are entitled to your opinion as i am mine. So it is starting to heat up, i hope the Rangers do well, hope Padilla and Millwood get 34 wins, doubt they will, but hope they do. Go Rangers! And i am pulling for Hamilton, but it is a day to day struggle. For those who don’t know i have 46 year old meth head, cocaine addicted brother, whom i love, who has been in prison 3 to 4 times for his dependency, so i am not just speaking from a law enforcement side. I have been dealing with this kind of stuff since i was 9 years old. I am now 41 years old, so i do have a little insight, with 32 years of experience.
