Kendrys to Texas makes too much sense.

Texas blowing it up makes more sense.

 

[651akathepaul]

I still think Kendrys could help Seattle the most.

Injury bug would be understating the state of affairs.

Trade Rios. Trade Elvis if something is worth it.

At 25 after moving Kinsler?

I don't think Morales is going to help Texas get to the playoffs. They've got too many injuries to overcome.

 

[jewbacca]

The best move Texas could make is getting rid of Ron Washington haha

 

[mr marcus]

might as well railroad him 

 

[N41D]

Something this catastrophic may buy Ron another year but I doubt it. Nobody is playing particularly well even when healthy.

And yeah, if trade Elvis if the right deal came along.. Would still have Profar, Odor, and Sardinas in the system.

That's some concentration by Gordon there. Not a gold glover for nothin'....Can't overturn that though. Great play.

Play reversed. I saw on that last replay the rotation of the ball changed/sped up because it had to have nipped the corner of the bottom of the pad on the way down. Umps got it right.

Who you guys got as the All-Star 2B in the AL?

Cano will be the starter, but I think Altuve and Dozier have their arguments. Both should be on the All-Star sqaud.

He's not as good as he should be, but he's still good.

Maybe not being in a hitter's park is part of it, I'll give him that.

 

[jewbacca]

Altuve and Dozier are both deserving.

.330 average, been on base 26 consecutive games. Crazy good defender.
Realistically other than HR's can you say anything bas about him?

Just the HRs and he's 31.

That not old at all

 

[jewbacca]

Cano is a well below average defender now... According to the fangraphs metric, he has a negative defensive value.

 

[651akathepaul]

I don't know...He doesn't look that bad to me at all. I know stats has a place, but eh...He gets the job done and then some still today.

And how is his age relevant if he's still producing? Means diddly...HR's are low, but Safeco is stupid.
