MLB News: Offseason Movers & Shakers

The MLB lockout is in full swing and whether the sides can negotiate a mutually beneficial agreement in the near future is anyone’s guess. But that doesn’t mean there weren’t some major signings before the owners padlocked the stadium gates. Below we will discuss which players are changing uniforms this season and who will have […]

Texas Rangers: The Cole Hamels Deal

The Texas Rangers certainly aren’t strangers to making splash deals for top of the line starting pitching. Back in the summer of 2010, Cliff Lee, among the best pitchers in the MLB at the time, was dealt to the Texas Rangers in exchange for a number of prospects. While Lee performed well for the Rangers […]

How the Ranger and Tigers Trade is a Win-Win

Last week blockbuster trade was a surprise to most people I’ve spoken to, but it makes sense for both teams. The Detroit Tigers traded 1B Prince Fielder to the Texas Rangers in exchange for 2B Ian Kinsler and cash considerations. As reported by MLB Trade Rumors, Detroit will be sending $30MM to Texas, tweets Jeff Passan of […]

Rangers Sign Roy Oswalt, Will He Help?

This guest post was written by Erik Voldness from The Blog That Boredom Built. Rangers Sign Roy Oswalt, Will He Help? Yesterday Gerry Fraley of the Dallas Morning News reported that the Rangers had signed starting pitcher Roy Oswalt for about $4.25MM for the rest of the season. It had been reported for months that Oswalt […]

Josh Hamilton’s Home Run Derby: Legit or Lucky?

With two Silver Sluggers and an Most Valuable Player award, the Texas Rangers’ Josh Hamilton has always been one of baseball’s elite, but his on-field injuries and off-the-field substances have limited his potential throughout his career. However, you’ve probably heard that 2012 is a completely different story. Through his first 30 games, the Rangers’ outfielder […]

Texas Rangers News Round-up

The Texas Rangers have been very busy in the last couple of weeks. Right now the Rangers are still trying to negotiate a deal with Yu Darvish but there is a limited amount of information and insight on the negotiations. Jon Paul Morosi of Fox Sports reported earlier this week that The Texas Rangers are […]

Acquisitions Propel Rangers to ALCS…Again!

For the second straight season, the Rangers beat the Tampa Bay Rays to advance to the ALCS.  For the second straight season, their success was largely based on recent player acquisitions. In 2010, Rangers GM Jon Daniels made several key moves in both the offseason and prior to the trade deadline, including the additions of […]

ALCS Preview: The Texas Rangers vs The Detroit Tigers

While both National League Divisional Series will be going to a decisive Game 5 tonight, the Tigers and Rangers have each earned a berth to their league’s Championship Series. We’ll take a look at how these two teams match up to try to determine which club will represent the AL in the World Series.   […]

American and National League Divisional Series Prediction

OK, this is my first attempt at a webcast so it’s bound to be a little rough around the edges. I now see that it is much easier doing one of these with at least one more person like on the BBA Baseball Talk podcasts or online with the guys over at Pro Rumors TV. […]

Cliff Lee NOT Traded to the Yankees, but IS now a Ranger!!!

Biggest Trade of 2010 Season Occurs With Added Drama From the words of Texas Rangers GM Jon Daniels, the Rangers, not Yankees, are the winners of the Cliff Lee sweepstakes. They will be sending star 1B prospect Justin Smoak, and minor leaguers RHP Blake Beavin, RHP Josh Lueke, and utility man Matt Lawson to the […]

Cliff Lee (Almost) Traded to Yankees?!!!

Lee becomes 9th Yankee on AL All-Star team Mariners receive prospect package with Jesus Montero as the centerpiece The most talked-about sweepstakes at the trade deadline this year is coming to a close. THUH-UH-UH-UH—YANKEES WIN! Despite missing the first month of the season with an abdominal strain, LHP Cliff Lee places 4th among pitchers in […]

Rangers Pitching, Post Spring Traning

Much of the spring training coverage for the Rangers has focused on all their options at starting pitcher. Now that the opening day rotation is set we should probably examine if they are really as deep as we think. I think the biggest concern for this rotation is will it eat up enough innings as […]

Will Nolan Ryan Change How Pitchers Are Treated?

One of my new favorite organizations in baseball is now the Nolan Ryan led Texas Rangers! I’m still a Red Sox fan, but I absolutely love what the Hall of Famer is trying to do in Texas. I just hope that the new management, whoever that may be, will be on the same page. For […]

The Rangers Still Have Hope For A Playoff Chance

The Texas Rangers have traditionally had a rough time with the second half of the season, but this season seems to be a little different. While they are winners of 7 out of 10 games, they do have hit a bump in the road with the AL-worst Oakland Athletics.  The Rangers were quiet during the […]

The Rangers Struggled in June

“The Rangers have lost the lead in the AL West with the Angels taking the spot that they have been so familiar with over the last four years.  Texas has lost steam, but ironically, the pitching has kept them afloat and the offense has let them down.  The Rangers have finished the past two seasons […]

The Texas Rangers Are In First Place Still!

The surprise Rangers are sitting in first place in the AL West! This time it’s their pitching that’s carrying them.  Unlike last season, the Rangers are relying more on balance from the starting pitching and offense to win games.  Last season, the Rangers lost many close games (3 runs or less) and this season, they’re […]

Rangers Reflections: The First 3 Weeks

One month into the season and we know two things about the Rangers: their offense is picking up where it left off last season and their pitching has drastically improved from last season’s horrendous output.  Though both facets of the team are virtually the same as last season’s mark, the team has managed to stay […]

Baseball Reflections on the Rangers

The Texas Rangers finished the 2008 season with a 79-83 record, finishing second in the AL West behind the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. During the season, the Rangers finished first in all offensive categories, while finishing last in all but one category in pitching. It is no secret the Rangers need to focus on […]

Texas Rangers off Season Report

Season Wrap Up Despite finishing under .500, the Rangers still finished second in the American League West, although they were about a mile behind the Angels at the top of the division. Their 79-83 record was not by any means impressive, but with the expectations that were in place for the Rangers before the season, […]

Sleepless in Seattle: MLB Style

[table=57] Seattle Mariners After an off season that saw Seattle trade their young and talented future CF Adam Jones, a 5-tool player, to Baltimore in a package for 29-year old Left-handed SP Erik Bedard, Seattle now finds itself with the second worst record in baseball (2 wins more than the Nationals). Although Bedard is 6-4 […]

Pete’s Picks: AL West

AL West  1. LA Angels of Anaheim : In the long run, I like the Angels overall in this division. I like their bullpen especially with K-Rod, Scot Shields and Justin Speier. The additions of CF Torii Hunter & SP Jon Garland help put them over the top and Garland helps ease the pain of […]
