Pokeys Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Rangers Transactions - Rangers Designated RHP Robinson Tejeda for assignment - Rangers Called Up RHP Wes Littleton from (AAA) Oklahoma Redhawks - (AA) Frisco Roughriders Called Up OF John Mayberry from (A) Bakersfield Blaze --------------------------------------------------- Arizona Diamondbacks & Texas Rangers Deal D-Backs send: OF Eric Byrnes Rangers send: OF Brad Wilkerson --------------------------------------------------- I like Eric Byrnes game and wanted to get rid of Wilkerson whom I dislike so I pulled the trigger on this bad boy. I wasnt sure if it was going to go through but I gave it a shot and they accepted. Byrnes is a fantastic addition. I also moved Mayberry in AA Ball, putting him on the fast track to the bigs... Dont want Tejeda in my rotation plain and simple so I sent him down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokeys Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Batting Order Pitching Rotation Notes: Overall I love my lineup 1-9, However I will follow Sosa closely, dont like my bench at all but ill have to deal with it for now... My starting pitching is decent, it could be better but I think ive made the most out of my team with this rotation. Not a big fan of Chen but he provides some balance in my rotation. Starting Volquez up in the bigs . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokeys Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Lackey, Matthews Destroy Rangers Game 1 of 3: Texas Rangers(0-1) Vs Los Angeles Angels(1-0) Rangers 2 - Angels 10 Game Wrap: Lackey came out firing! Giving the Texas Rangers batters fits with his cutter. Matthews Jr hit a leadoff Home Run to dead center to give the Angels an early lead, and they never really looked back. That was later followed by a Howie Kendrick HR in the next inning and then another one of his own. Millwood had absolutely no movement on any of his pitches and the angels batters were reading him like a book. Lackey finished with a complete game and fanned 2 batters. Angels Notes: - Gary Matthews Jr had a HUGE game in his Angels debut, showing the home fans some amazing power. All of his home runs were Solos. - Former Blue Jay & Giant Shea Hillenbrand went 0-4 at the plate in his Angels Debut. Rangers Notes: - Rangers D turned 5 Double Plays. - OF Eric Byrnes had the only extra base hit on the team Player Of The Game: OF Gary Matthews Jr. 4 for 5, 3 HR's, 3 RBI's Matthews Jr. Leadoff Home Run Happy Campers & Mad Campers or Sad?

Pokeys Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 April 9th, 2007 Game 1 of 3 Game 1 Starters -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rangers GM Jon Daniels is now fielding all suggestions for players that the Rangers should trade for. All input is appreciated. Rangers are looking for another OF that can hit Righties and has decent speed, Maybe a 3B or Backup Infielder, as well as a Dominant Pitcher... Rangers are said to be shopping such phenom prospects as Joaquin Arias, Eric Hurley, and possibly John Mayberry Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
