Saturday a.m. Rangers things

07 Nov 2009 06:07:44 PST

Written by Adam J. Morris
In not-really-Rangers-news, but interesting anyway, Tony Massarotti says the BoSox were in on J.J. Hardy before he was dealt to the Brewers, with the Brewers asking for Clay Buchholz or Daniel Bard for Hardy, and Boston only being willing to part with Michael Bowden.

Written by Adam J. Morris
But that denial notwithstanding, it sounds like Hurdle is the guy...Jeff Wilson writes that three sources have said that Hurdle is the Rangers' choice as hitting coach. T.R. Sullivan says that club officials say an announcement should be coming in the next day or two.

Lundqvist puts Bruins on Wrong Side of Shutout

02 Nov 2009 01:59:36 PST

Written by dj-abisalih

On Rusty Greer as Hitting Coach

28 Oct 2009 13:20:44 PDT

Written by Adam J. Morris
Greer has also been someone who has been talked about in the past by fans, when the Rangers' managerial job came open a few years back, and then when Ron Washington looked like he might be on the verge of getting fired early in 2008. For some reason, he seems to be the go-to guy with fans for some...

End of Season Awards

MVP: Michael Young, TEX (.322 AVG, 22 HR, 68 RBI): Michael Young is the Rangers’ MVP even after missing most of September. If he hadn’t done that, he would’ve gotten 200 hits, possibly 25 home runs, and probably 75 RBI’s. That’s pretty good, but he doesn’t even need that to be the MVP.

Opinion: Analyzing the Marlon Byrd Situation, Part II

29 Sep 2009 09:12:16 PDT

Written by Adam J. Morris
But that was before Josh Hamilton and Chris Davis tanked, before the catchers decided not to hit, and before the weak offense derailed the Rangers 2009 playoffs hopes. That was before I realized the Rangers need more offense, and aren't really in a position to deal bats away.

TR: Hank Blalock is a free agent at the end of the season. If the Rangers don’t re-sign him, I think that will take care of that issue. Me: Do you think Josh Hamilton should move to one of the corner outfield spots long term? If so, who’s the Rangers’ center fielder of the future?

Last night's game was fun, wasn't it? Good to see them get to Scott Feldman and the bullpen for an easy win after the first five innings went scoreless. As Texas begins to slip back in the wild card race (4.5 behind Boston), their offense has hit the skids. They've been shut out twice in a row and ha...
