LOL<br />I mentioned, not everyone can play 1st base and for some reason only an idiot could understand, they (many) said "all they have to do is catch the ball, it's the easiest position to play". <br />Of course, stupid me told them that is untrue for many reasons. I went on to enumerate some of them but,<br />they thought I was nuts...they may be right about that part, it has been brought up many times in my work!<br />Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-82102504885989043152014-11-10T17:31:08.912-05:002014-11-10T17:31:08.912-05:00Sanchez is not the best catcher on the 40 man rost...Sanchez is not the best catcher on the 40 man roster let alone in the system.

I'd like to hold on to Clarkin, Severino, and Judge if we could. Bird'd back scares me so in the right deal i wouldn't be terribly upset. Andrus is not the right deal.

At least not the $15 million that his extension would be worth per season. Knock that down to $12 million per season, meaning the Rangers would have to kick in $24 million in the deal, then we can talk.<br /><br />Even then, the Rangers shouldn't expect more than a couple solid prospects. Meaning Gary Sanchez, Luis Severino, and Aaron Judge are off the table. At the same time if the Rangers would want Ian Clarkin, Eric Jagielo, or Greg Bird they'd have to kick in more money.Bryan Van Dusenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868262676393608086noreply@blogger.com
