Mench to the Blue Jays

 

The Rangers have sent Kevin Mench to the Toronto Blue Jays for cash considerations. That allows Jason Botts to DH at Oklahoma.

Too bad we couldn't talk them out of a low level prospect, and could only put cash in Hicks' pocket. I suppose Mench is the victim of fine play by Boggs.


Congrats to David Murphy on winning Rookie of the Month honors, as well. Could we possibly have a guy that can end the streak that goes all the way back to Mike Hargrove?

I'm glad to see that Kevin gets a shot to play somewhere. Toronto's knee jerk on Thomas opened that dorr I'd guess. Good for him.

Boggs might just put a big bite on his best bud's playing time too, where does Byrd fit in when he comes back? Boggs has not done anything to warrant being sent out.

Congrats to the inaugrual AL Rookie of the month.

I am always cynical when it comes to the national media. This team and its players could win 110 games perennially and still not get the coverage of the I-95 corridor teams. Hence, it seems that we have a hard time getting recognition for guys on this team that deserve it. Example is FosSports.com, the headline about last nights game was Sexson, not the fact that a team that was struggling early is having some success. The consecutive shutouts was barely mentioned. So, when it comes to ROY balloting, I hope Murphy gets fair consideration if he continues to play well.

Agree about the lack of balanced coverage. (And mlb.com is as bad as any). But maybe Murphy's biggest problem will be Boggs....
