sullysue Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Rangers are trading our #3 prospect, right-handed pitcher Dillon Tate, as part of a package to the Yankees for Carlos Beltran. Is this a good move for the Rangers, and who would Beltran be replacing in the outfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's a great post-season player. Get 'em while they're hot even if he's a rental. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I wonder if the Rangers should gamble our pitching future for someone having a "renaissance season." I'm more on the side of foresight over instant results, ya' know? I can't decide if I like this move or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx_rush Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Rangers land Lucroy (stud) and Jeffress (stud)....starting pitching was not addressed but bullpen and bats have taken a very nice upgrade, especially when you factor in Beltran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucroy helps too. Good moves for now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes a nice prospect, but even ones that people think are going to be the next Stephen Strasberg more often than not flame out. More likely than not, its a good move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took Ivan Nova off of your hands (who has been pretty terrible). Its a signature Pirates move, take some flamed out guy, coach him up a bit and make him serviceable on the cheap.

Indeed.....Hutchinson seems to be the key piece we got back. I have a lot more confidence in him becoming an above average pitcher than I do Nova. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx_rush Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 LOL pirates.....we are sooooo cheap. Basically gave 2 extra prospects just so Toronto would eat Liranno's salary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Rangers land Lucroy (stud) and Jeffress (stud)....starting pitching was not addressed but bullpen and bats have taken a very nice upgrade, especially when you factor in Beltran. Jeffress will give you some grey hair during his 9th inning performances. He rarely has a 1-2-3 inning. He has been pretty good, though. Only one blown save this year, I believe. Lucroy will give you 100% every game. He's having a stellar year throwing out base runners, and his bat is SOLID. One of his best qualities as a hitter is making a pitcher work. He can foul off ten pitches in an at-bat and then kill you when you make a mistake pitch. He did it to Aroldis Chapman last year - a walk-off homer after fouling off many pitches. It was his finest at-bat EVER!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have like to get another stud starter but I'm happy with what we did at the trade deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucroy is the number 2 catcher in MLB (behind posey) and there's a huge gap between him and whoever is 3rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we would have put together a deal for Sale. I have no problem dealing Gallo. Our GM does. Oh well. Sale would have put us over the top in the AL and in line to compete with the Cubs if we both make the World Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sullysue Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Prince Fielder will go on the DL to finish out his contract with the Rangers. Not retiring yet. http://m.rangers.mlb.com/news/article/194550274/neck-surgery-to-end-prince-fielders-career/ I was skeptical when he came on board, and I think we all knew he wouldn't be hugely productive with the Rangers. But, he turned out to be a positive addition to the team in terms of motivation and being compatible with the team culture. So, here's to you, Prince! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he would come in here and murder the ball. A left handed batter with a short right field fence. Unfortunately, we got damaged goods.
