The 2009 Texas Rangers offense: sigh...

Yeah

Fun fact: Josh Wilson has a higher wOBA than Lopez this year.

by Manzanillos Cup on Sep 12, 2009 5:51 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think I was thinking of this
Settle in for the Jack Wilson era – he’s here for the next two or three years. This was not a stop-gap move, and Jack is a huge fan of what he brings to the team. There just isn’t much out there in the way of talent at SS to be had, and they thought Wilson could help them now and going forward.

From the LL/USSM meetup.

I don't get rooting for Texas

They’re going to be the best team in the AL West for a while, and the only thing that can possibly stop that happening is if they go broke.

Getting to the playoffs = money.

I want the Rangers to have no money. I am used to the Angels making the playoffs.

By the way, is it alright to kind of sort of maybe be okay with the Rangers winning?

Just so long as it hurts Boston? Because as much as I love my M’s, I really do think I hate Boston much, much more. I want to see the entire team die of H1N1 like that college student at Cornell.

Clarify?

Not sure how to read this. I’m indifferent to Texas’ financial troubles, and in fact the softy in me hopes they’ll be okay. But the Machiavellian in me realizes that their financial problems redound to the benefit of the M’s in future divisional races — is that what you’re talking about?

I haven't been paying much attention lately -- can anyone tell me how Bill Hall has looked?

I don’t expect much, but is there even a glimmer of hope that he might be a useful part?

Has he hit any with the M's?

I have SERIOUSLY been out of the loop over the past few weeks (big move to a new city, blah blah blah). Would love your expert opinion on whether he’s any good for us.

He's supposed to start working out with the team when they get back to town

“… we’ll see how fast he can get back,” Wakamatsu said. “We won’t push it, but there’s a strong possibility he will be with us at the end of the year, and that will be important for us — and him.” "

I don’t expect there will be many more actual hits tonight.
