No deal.You spelled Addison Russell wrong.
Thanks for Nick Gordon.I'll give you Danny Santana for Wheeler. Call it in.
Nope.Thanks for Nick Gordon.
Oh, you're looking for a young outfielder? We have a surplus of those, too. How would you like Oswaldo Arcia? Maybe Max Keplar? Did I mention that while SS is Danny Santana's main position, his rookie year he played CF for the Twins and played very well defensively, while hitting .300 Maybe we could talk about Aaron Hicks. Eddie Rosario and Byron Buxton are untouchable. Sorry.I see. I will go see the Pirates about a CF.

Aaron Hicks is a guy I like, but not for a player like Wheeler. Keplar...we can't do that, too many Jewish folks in NYC.Oh, you're looking for a young outfielder? We have a surplus of those, too.

Not knocking my socks off hereAccording to Evan Grant (Dallas Morning News), the Rangers are expected to hire former Texas reliever Doug Brocail as their new pitching coach and to promote AAA pitching coach Brad Holman to big league bullpen coach. The two will replace Mike Maddux and Andy Hawkins, who are seeking opportunities elsewhere.
Brocail, who pitched for the Rangers for two of his 15 big league seasons (2004-05), was the Astros’ AA pitching coach in 2015, after serving as Houston’s big league pitching coach for part of 2011 and all of 2012 and 2013 and then as a special assistant and pitching advisor to Astros GM Jeff Luhnow in 2014.
It is actually pretty good. Give Darvish some time though before you make him the ace again.Not sure you need much when you have Darvish, Hamels, Perez, and Holland. While it's not the Mets by any stretch its the best 1-4 that we've had.
Yeah I'm sure they will bring back Colby and have Chi Chi as well. That will allow Yu to work back in gradual.It is actually pretty good. Give Darvish some time though before you make him the ace again.
~slides the phone to ED~The Rangers will send you CFer Leonys Martin for Jake Arrieta. Done deal.
He was in triple A for most of the year and that's with a 3rd baseman hitting 220, he was passed by another guy as the primary utility guy, so yeah he could be had pretty cheaply.I get that they have Correa, but if that is truly how Hou sees him, then good for whoever gets him. He has some flaws...overly aggressive at the plate and sometimes makes some easy plays tough, but I think he is a legit starting SS.
It is actually Iapoce, not Lapoce. I really don't know. Very difficult to measure the impact of a guy like that within the organization. I'll say this though...he did oversee the minor league hitting program and they got a lot of production from guys who started the season in the minors this year. Granted, guys like Kris Bryant, Addison Russell, and Kyle Schwarber have a lot of talent and were all high 1st round picks so the talent was there, but they were pretty MLB-ready when they came up at young ages.[MENTION=38]E_D_Guapo[/MENTION] ..... Anthony Lapoce was named hitting coach for the Rangers. Only thing I know about him was he was with the Cubs. Should I be excited or are you in the same boat as I am?
