I think Rosales may have finally found his groove. He’s been pretty great this year and made the most out of his opportunities.
dwarfstar
Definitely been a big deal for us this year wherever he has been!! Nice to have him in a utility roll next year..

How about we send Bridwell and Christian Walker to TEX for Beltre? We’d have to come up with some other pieces to satisfy TEX, but we’re not going to win the WS with Crush at 3rd. Next year, we let JJ Hardy walk (even though I love him) and slide Manny to SS.

I hope that’s a joke. It would take Gausman and Bundy for JD to consider it. And he would still probably say no.
Commish Paul
18M for a 36 (allegedly) year old 3B on his last year….I think JD may want to consider it. Angelos wont take all that money on, even for one year, so getting it down to 12M would take a decent package of prospects. I’d deal Bundy in the right package, but this isnt it. Gausman wont go anywhere now that he’s proven his worth at the MLB level.
dwarfstar
We hold a option on Beltre have him till 16 with that!!
Commish Paul
I’ll include Bundy but you have to take Ubaldo too.

I wonder whether Bundy, Wieters and Bridwell for Beltre and say $10 million ($5M in 2015, $5m in 2016) would work. Rangers could use a catcher if Wieters can bounce back.
Grant Foster
so you want to trade 2 tommy john players: one who hasnt bounced back yet, two who Texas doesnt need and a player who isn’t proven in MLB for Adrian Beltre? Orioles don’t have the pieces right now for Texas to unload Beltre. They wouldnt anyways because they don’t have a star caliber player to take his spot in 2015 unless you put Ryan Rua there who is unproven in MLB.

Bundy has bounced back from the Tommy John Surgery. He has an ab injury at the moment but that’s minor. He was ranked in the top 10 of all prospects at the midseason by Baseball America and has nothing to indicate he won’t be a top 25 prospect in 2015. He’s on target.
Wieters hasn’t bounced back yet which makes him risky. But he’s also a catcher and not a pitcher. It’s not so risky for pitchers and should be even less so for catchers. It’s a reasonable risk.
You definitely need a catcher. Your rotation is weak so Bundy would help also. And if your team likes Bridwell…. Plus you guys have Gallo. He can be up by the all-star break to play third.
Grant Foster
26.1 IP in high A doesn’t qualify as bounced back. Personally I would like Bundy on the Rangers but he wouldnt be the centerpiece of a Beltre trade. Rangers don’t need Weiters they have Robinson Chirinos and Tomas Telis for next season. The rotation will be fixed next season when guys get healthy again. Texas will probably trade for Matt Latos.
dwarfstar
I think Matt Latos will be a second choice, James Shields I think would be first, everything even Shields will be cheaper…
dwarfstar
Not interested in Bundy, yes to Bridwell, no to Weiters.. Gallo will not play 3b at the MLB level!! Also since Gallo
will not be called this year, doubtful he would be here at all-star time next year….
dwarfstar
Do not need a long term catcher…. Jorge Alfaro will be up late ’15 and up for good in 2016. Chirinos, Felix and Arencibia can handle till then….
dwarfstar
Your hoping that he can play again???
dwarfstar
Each knee in less than a year, and this is not the first time this has happened to Manny. May never be the same???
dwarfstar
The Astros should lose that #2 guaranteed pick because of the way they back out of the deal and then with the grievance from the other guy they did not sign because of the Aiken situation there should be sanctions against them!!!!!
