Hamilton injured? Shocker!
Backatitagain
Needed a reason for the pain killers.
ironwolf
He just had a cortisone shot for his knee didn’t he? Cortisone shots often increase the pain, at least temporarily. I know; just had one for rotator cuff pain.

Rangers have a potential power hitting corner outfielder with Nomar Mazara. He had a good average and hit for power in the minors. It may be time to use him and eventually phase Hamilton out of the picture.
charles stevens
He’s 20 and has never played about AA to this point. I think he’s a September call up with the idea of having him ready for 2017.
GeauxRangers
Mazara reached AAA last season as well as Lewis Brinson and they both performed well there in a small sample. It’s not inconceivable that both of them could be an option at some point this season.
Lance
phase Hamilton out? like he’s healthy enough to ever play again? he had some outstanding years for Texas—but it’s over.

What about Drew Stubbs? He would be a great cheap steal for the Rangers to keep on the Roster! That man has awesome speed and very good defensively! Yes he is not good at getting on base, but he can! And he would be a great veteran to help DeShields out in Center!
gobraves46
You should be Drew Stubbs’ agent
Kaboosh
Awesome defensively? What?
brewcrewenthusiast
I think we found drew Stubbs. Dfs = drew effin Stubbs.
lonestardodger
Stubbs was with them last September, so the team is familiar with him. Seems like a plausible match.
Thurman8er
Josh should get the best care possible…for what we’re paying him…
Philliesfan4life
I will be shocked if he is just a bench player from now until his contract is up
SoCalShu
This is the reason why I am happy to see him be a problem in someone else’s clubhouse. Dude should of never been signed to begin w/….I was against his acquisition from the 1st rumor….
Bob M.
we all know Brinson or Mazara will be up by the end of the super 2 deadline… they both might be. Deshields is not an every day center fielder defensively.
lonestardodger
Alex Rios is another former Ranger left.
charles stevens
The Rangers aren’t going to pay De Aza 6mil. If they bring anyone in it will be someone on a minor league deal with an invite to camp on the cheap.
johnsilver
NYM shouldn’t have, then neither should Duquette have given him 5m last year. He got DFA’d by Baltimore last year and had *1* hot month to pull his numbers out of the gutter with Boston, before flipping him to SF for a low level prospect.
His defense is lacking and you don’t want him in CF any longer. *IF* a team is going to throw away 5 millionish on some OF of his caliber? At least get one who can play a little bit of defense and run a little bit, like Austin jackson. That’s all he’s going to get once Boras figures out his client went south 3y ago..
christopher8002
LH 3B/OF Cody Asche would be cheap to acquire and cheap to pay.
beauvandertulip
Best idea is to use the in house options like we did last year. Still won the division, and we have more depth this year. Use a combination of Hamilton/Rua/Ruggiano in LF and use James jones in CF for defensive purposes. You better believe Deshields has been working his defense extensively. But look for him to be traded in the next two years anyways with the arrival of Brinson and mazara
UDAgent
Dom Brown. Perhaps learned his lesson. Still young. Lots of LH power potential. Somebody’s gonna grab him and look like a genius.
dsauer23
What’s wrong with using Joey Gallo in a corner outfield spot?
robidebd
Since the Angels r paying all of Hamilton’s contract this year because of the way the terms were worked out we don’t need to worry bout how long he’s out bast on money. The Rangers should sign Dexter Fowler to a Two YR $25mil deal to make up for the lose of Josh in the OF. It’s time to face the facts and relies that Hamilton is no longer useful and has just gotten TOO OLD TO PLAY BALL!!!
kenster84
Why block Gallo, Mazara and Brinson next year?
lonestardodger
It’s not that he’s too old (he’s not), but rather the toll taken by his body from years of cocaine and alcohol abuse.
BigPhan
Please give the Phils a call and take Asche. He will cost next to nothing.
UDAgent
Dom Brown? Young, cheap, proven pop, LH, looking to save his career. Someone’s gonna grab him and get a big year or two out of him.
whtstr314
What about Victorino on a minor league deal AND give up a D-level prospect for Asche? The Phillies are trying to give him away.
wileycoyote56
What’s sad here is that they could give him steroid treatment with some HGH and it will help the healing process and he could be good again. Medical Science has ways to help if everyone would just admit that some things may be good for you if it is treated right. Knee replacement and steroids and he’d be the bionic man. MLB should have a staff of doctors to administer this so they can control who and how they get it.
UDAgent
Dominic Brown. Cheap, lefty, got pop.

Dom Brown
jrowe1979
Nick Markaksis would be a nice fit
OCTraveler
David Roberts comments,”Please take Crawford or Eithier!”
Backatitagain
Braves may trade Ender Inciarte LH-OF, or Nick Markakis LH-OF, for Joey Gallo straight up.
smelliott00
Why would Texas consider that
OnlyRaysFan
Lol Markakis is not that good. Inciarte not worth that much either. The Rangers don’t need to trade top prospects for an outfielder. They have 2 top 20 prospects in Mazara and Brinson knocking on the door.
Backatitagain
Braves will agree to reverse the deal if Gallo has WAR exceeding either of Inciarte or Markakis.
taquino96
Fowler
TheAdrianBeltre
Fowler, Jackson, or Venable please.
charles stevens
I’d be ok with any of the 3 on a 1 yr deal.
AshtonLover
Hahahah Drew Stubbs! Good one dfsredneck
Dan LeBlanc
Rather than trade for DeAza, sign Will Venable. They are, in essence, the same player. I would expect Venable would have a much cheaper price tag.
jchic22
Abraham almonte performed somewhat well and Indians need to clear space for Bradley simmer and almonte would be next to free
