Rangers fans - here we go again?

"I hope you are kidding. Yu Darvish is one of the top 10 if not top 5 pitchers in baseball right now"
Nope....not "RIGHT NOW"
Right now he is isn't worth anything. Maybe last year or the year before he was.

I would not say he is not worth anything, I bet a lot of teams would trade for him as is banking that he will come back even better than what he was.

That's true.

Absolutely there are a bunch that would

[RascalArms]

Heck, maybe Yu will pitch left handed...he is ambidextrious you know? He can have the TJ surgery on his right wing and still pitch. Maybe run him out there every 10 games or so vs 5?

[rascal71]

The Nolan Ryan Curse continues.

[cj7zrcool]

Some good points here but Darvish's 10-15 wins will not be a total wipeout. Someone will come in and win some of those games. If the rest of the rotation can step it up just a little and the if we can get some offense going, it might not be as bad as that writer makes it sound. Can't get any worse...

Maybe ChiChi can come in, catch a little lightning-in-a-bottle and win 15. Problem solved, no more excuses.

I like the sound of that, along with Gallo hitting tape measure shots. I really wish he could play left.

Losing YU sucks. It sucks bad. But there is plenty of talent on the team, we just need to stay healthy and compete. Might not win the division, but should be competitive.

Yep. The silver lining is the fact that someone has the opportunity to step up. And I'd love the Gallo in left scenario!

[rossivey]

Tommy John surgery is official. Having it Tuesday

[HillCoBowHunter]

It's a shame it took em this long to consider the option. Gonna be missed in the rotation for sure.

[TX_bowhunter37]

I predict that we will not be a contender this season. I just dont see any of the starters that will finish the season with no more than 10 wins

We may not contend, But Holland and Gallardo should both have 10+ wins.

Young pitching is gonna have to step up, period. The Perez, and Harrison injuries have set this thing back years.


I would plan on exactly zero production from Derek Holland until he actually does it.....I'm tired of his bit.

Agreed. The Perez deal was heart breaking to me. I loved watching that kid pitch. Here's looking to next year. Maybe they'll surprise us this season. Nobody expected the injuries last year so maybe this can go up instead down. Not sure how much more down it can go lol.
