Just an absolutely unreal job by CY and his staff for identifying Walsh as a guy who should be brought in.

So... the background here is that he played for Ecker or one of the Asst batting coaches while at UofGeorgia, IIRC.

Good on CY for getting him here, but fromwhat I understand, it was his connection with the hitting coach. I've tried to recall/search for it, but lose interest before connecting/validating.

Corey Seager, professional hitter

I've been in favor of moving Taveras.

Not because I don't think he is any good, but because he IS good. He would bring great value and team control. If Carter can play CF and Langford in LF... Jankowski is 4th... if we can get a a young high ceiling SP for him, that'd be a bonus.

Regarding Walsh... in 2024, he is Arb2, so the Rangers have 1 more year of team control. COTS has him at $1.25M.

Lowe is at $7.5M. He has 2 more years of control/Arb.

What can you get for a former All-Star 1B making $1.25M with an additional year of team control?!

I'm cool with Langford at DH for a year as he continues to take field work. I'd hate him getting stuck as a DH long-term.

When Lowe returns we have a decision to make. Brandon Belt is also still available.

Great trivia question - the two Father/Son combos who played for the Rangers.

I knew Bascik simply because I know his dad.

Totally forgot about the Alomars

Can't ask for much more from Bradford. Really only made one mistake. Rooting for that kid.

About that #5 SP.

5.0 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 SO: 3.60 ERA, 0.800 WHIP - 76 PC

Did they pull for a reason, or just early season needing to ensure RPs get some pitches?!

I want to be impressed by Seager's 0.444 average, but then I remember Jankowski has a 5.000 OPS and I think it's time Corey starts earning his contract

Myself and another Rangers fan bullied this brewery in Southern Oregon into putting the Rangers broadcast on.

Good lord. Taveres has basically played 1 1/2 years as a starter. In that time, he's hit .264, with 25 SB, 19 HR and 101 RBI. That's pretty damn good for a 9th place hitter. Not to mention he's a gold glove caliber fielder.

Here's a news flash. The Rangers aren't going to have all-stars top to bottom in the lineup. I'll take a guy who plays great defense in center, hits above 250 with a bit of power and can steal a base at the bottom of the order every.damn.day.and.twice.on.sunday. I'm old enough to remember all of the stiffs we've rolled out in CF - Gary Pettis, Cecil Espy, Damon Buford, Laynce Nix, Juan Beniquez. etc.

We could do one hell of a lot worse than Leody in CF. Rant over.

That play right there!!
