Roy31 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Version: MVP 06 Beta Mod Difficulty: All Star Games: Play All 162 (hopefully) Sliders: Realistic Base Stealing, and Better Pitch Control thats all Smile Rosters: Updated, With Jorge Julio deal & Nevin for Hairtson, Plus lowered Josh Towers rating a bit, release durazo Progression: Bill's Progression Fix v3, Thanks Bill Just felt like doing this rangers dynasty over. The last one I had going was fine except for the fact that I used the wrong rosters and I didnt have the nevin trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy31 Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 Here are my lineups: Defensive Alignments Vs RHP 1B: Mark Teixeira 2B: Mark DeRosa 3B: Hank Blalock SS: Michael Young LF: Brad Wilkerson CF: Gary Matthews Jr. RF: Kevin Mench C: Rod Barajas DH: Jason Botts Vs LHP 1B: Mark Teixeira 2B: Ian Kinsler 3B: Hank Blalock SS: Michael Young LF: Brad Wilkerson CF: Gary Matthews Jr. RF: Jerry Hairston Jr. C: Gerald Laird DH: Kevin Mench Bold Red indicates key players Scouting Report Rangers look to field another average defense and stay in the middle of the pack. The Outfield has improved with Wilkerson out there and Hairston playing back in the outfield. The 2nd base position gives critics cause for concern. -------------------------------------------- Batting Orders Vs RHP 1. CF Matthews Jr. 2. SS Young 3. LF Wilkerson 4. 1B Teixeira 5. 3B Blalock 6. DH Botts 7. RF Mench 8. C Barajas 9. 2B DeRosa Bench CF Laynce Nix C Gerald Laird 2B Ian Kinsler 2B/OF Jerry Hairston Jr. Vs LHP 1. CF Matthews Jr. 2. RF Hairston Jr. 3. SS Young 4. 1B Teixeira 5. DH Mench 6. LF Wilkerson 7. 2B Kinsler 8. C Laird 9. 3B Blalock Bench CF Laynce Nix C Rod Barajas 1B/DH Jason Botts 2B Mark DeRosa Scouting Report Rangers put together another solid hitting team and rank among the leagues best hitting lineups. Watch out for Hank the tank Blalock, other GM's around the league have been raving about his power surge during spring training. -------------------------------------------- Pitching Rotation 1. Kevin Millwood R 2. Vicente Padilla R 3. John Koronka L 4. Kameron Loe R 5. Adam Eaton R Bullpen RP Rick Bauer R RP Joaquin Benoit R RP Robinson Tejeda R RP Scott Feldman R RP John Wasdin R SU Francisco Cordero R CP Akinori Otsuka R Scouting Report The Rangers rotation is very questionable like every year but the bullpen should be vastly improved and team management plan to lean on them this season. -------------------------------------------- Prospect Watch SP Edison Volquez (AAA) SP Thomas Diamond (AAA) SP John Danks (AA) Scouting Report: The Rangers minor league organization does not hold many highly touted prospect but these 3 above have an unlimited amount of potential. Expect to see Diamond pitching in the Big Leagues first as he is the most ready and has been overpowering batters in the minors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totte Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Does this mean that the D'backs dynasty is dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy31 Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 Yes, unfortunately it does. I really liked that franchise but it would have been much funner if I had Upton and Drew both on the team but that would have taken years and years for them to progress enough just so I can actually hit with them. Plus I felt like playing with Texas again lol. This one will last trust me . All comments are appreciated guys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy31 Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 Schilling Shuts Out Rangers In Season Opener April 4th, 2006 - Game 1 Of 162 Game 1 Of 3: Boston Red Sox (0-0) @ Texas Rangers (0-0) Boston Red Sox 6, Texas Rangers 0 Game Wrap: Millwood gave up a 2 out 3 Run blast in the 2nd inning to Jason Varitek and then continued to struggle in the following inning giving up another home run. The Rangers bats never really got going as Schilling kept knocking down batters forcing alot of ground balls. The Red Sox end up winning 6-0 with a solid performance by Schilling. Red Sox Notes: Youkillis was the only Red Sox hitter to not get a hit. The Red Sox left 11 batters on base. Rangers Notes: Rangers "Ace" Kevin Millwood got rocked in his Texas Rangers debut. Local beat writers have been saying that he should get used to more games like this at home on ameriquest field.

Roy31 Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 Wakefield 13 K's, Red Sox Lose April 6th, 2006 - Game 2 Of 162 Game 2 Of 3: Boston Red Sox (1-0) @ Texas Rangers (0-1) Boston Red Sox 4, Texas Rangers 5 Game Wrap: Game started out slow as a pitchers duo, Wakefield striking out batter after batter it wasnt even funny and Padilla getting alot of ground outs. The game opened up in the 7th when the BoSox rallied and put a string of runs together and take a 4-1 lead, But it wouldnt last long. Following inning the sox take out Wakefield whom had only throw 77 pitches and put in Timlin. And thats when the Rangers bats came alive. Did the same thing as the Red Sox did in the 7th pretty much and rallied to get men on base and score. Hairston hit a Sac fly to give the Rangers the lead. Cordero came into the game in the 9th and closed it out against the Red Sox 1 2 and 3 batters. Red Sox Notes: Jason Varitek went 4 for 4 in the game and had 1 RBI. Tim Wakefield struck out every batter for the Rangers at least once... Rangers Notes: It took the Rangers 14 innings to get their first run of the season. Neither team hit a HR in this game. Rangers despite 13 strikeouts from the Red Sox starter, draw even in the series and play later today for the deciding game.
