West Notes: Rangers, Padres, Giants

By edcreech | July 22, 2012 at 3:50pm CDT

The Rangers head into their Sunday night matchup against the Angels with an ailing starting rotation. The Rangers have scratched Roy Oswalt from his start tomorrow and Colby Lewis is scheduled to have his forearm examined tomorrow before he's given the green light to make his scheduled start on Tuesday. The Rangers don't believe Oswalt's injury is serious, but he and Lewis can both wind up on the disabled list, according to Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.  Elsewhere from the AL and NL West:

  • Despite their rotation woes, the Rangers' chief trade deadline goal is to add bench depth, tweets Scott Miller of CBSSports.com.
  • With the signing of Carlos Quentin completed earlier today, the Padres are now turning their attention to closer Huston Street. Miller tweets talks are ongoing, but nothing is close right now.
  • The Giants are not considering Rick Ankiel to fill their need for a power bat off the bench, tweets Andrew Baggarly of CSNBayArea.com. Baggarly says the Giants crave a right-handed bat at both corner infield spots and the outfield.
  • Add the A's to the list of team interested in the Padres' Chase Headley, tweets ESPN's Buster Olney.

    How about the Rangers “deep rotation”? Ironic that the rotation that was too deep to sign Oswalt to start the season, now has an injured Oswalt.

      They have that powerful corner outfielder and pitching that might interest the Padres. They seem to match up better than most teams IMO.

        I know they have Michael Choice, My brother actually played with him at UTA. He has raked at every level he has played. Think he would be off the table in any trade talks?

          I don’t think he’s even a top 50 prospect in baseball. He’s having a good, not great year. He shouldn’t be off the table if they’re serious about Headley.

            Says random fan. The fact is, we have no idea what the Padres would want from the A’s and who the A’s are willing to give. You’re undervaluing Headley or overvaluing Choice if you don’t think he’s worth it.

              I dont think you understand bro, hes our top prospect and we are only getting headley for half year until he his arbitration eligible. We could get a much better player with choice then headley. Choice is #48 in the prospect list and the 9th best outfielder. So we arent going to give up our best prospect for a rental. We need a shortstop much more then we need a third baseman.

                I don’t think you understand “bro”, you get one of the top 7-8 3b in baseball for a year and a half. You get defense, offense and a good guy. You have to give up a lot to get such a valuable player for the playoffs and the future. So, “bro” you might not want to overvalue your prospects in relation to a proven big league ball player.

                  He’ll be under control for 2 years after this season.

                Who’s prospect list are you talking about? He’s not on Baseball America’s top 50, or top 58 after they updated it with the recently signed draftees. Being your top prospect is supposed to mean what? I don’t think you get it, bro. I’m not pretending to know what the A’s are or aren’t willing to give up, like you. I’m simply suggesting that they better be willing to give him up if they are serious about acquiring Headley. Headley is worth more than Choice alone, easy. He’s not a rental. He’s under control through 2014.

            i would rather target a SS (its the bigger sinkhole of nonproduction both short and long term) than headley, but the a’s should absolutely give up choice for headley if the overall deal makes sense.

      Michael Choice, Sonny Gray, A.J. Cole, Grant Green and Daniel Straily should all be of interest to the padres. A deal could definitely be done and the A’s would be the most likely team to pay what the Padres are asking for him.

          plays the outfield and has infield experience, has comparable numbers to that of choice but at AAA. He could be called up fairly quickly, probably wouldn’t be the padres first choice but would draw interest nonetheless.

            He moved to the outfield because he’s not going to stick in the infield defensively. Now they are wondering if he can stick in CF. If he ends up on a corner, his bat wont play there. No thanks.

              the whole point was they would be interested maybe not very much but interested, and like you said “The fact is, we have no idea what the Padres would want from the A’s and who the A’s are willing to give.” …right?

                  your failing to see your own quote as well which i agreed with. honestly i want a choice or straily package from the A’s if it came down to it.

                    I’m not failing to see my quote. Obviously we have no idea what they are interested in. All I’m saying is I don’t see why they would have interest in Green.

      Choice is 22. A’s aren’t trading him. But I can see the A’s trading Grant Green (24) or Michael Taylor (26). Maybe Taylor, Straily, and a AA-level pitcher for Headley The Padres are going to want MLB-ready players in return for Headley, and the A’s might be more willing this time to give up something.

          I didn’t say he’s elite. I said he’s 22. With the A’s pattern, he can come up in a few years, when the A’s need to replace one of their outfielders.

    “Baggarly says the Giants crave a right-handed bat at both corner infield spots.”

    So they’re looking to trade Pablo? He’s a switch hitter and they gave him a 3 year extension. I know they’re not that enthused with him though.

      They would move Pablo to first if they got a 3B.

    In spite of statements otherwise, I entirely expect the Rangers to trade for a starter, in addition to adding a bat.

    Almost every time a closer is signed, mlbtr readers disparage the contract and say that closers are overpaid.

    So, before a contract is actually signed and disparaged, I would like to know what people think a fair contract would be for Huston Street. How many years and how many millions?
