I think Botts is better at everything than BH, but I dont look for MB to be traded either…

cheers,

Mike,

If Andruw Jones does not make this team and Marlon Byrd is traded, a hot Ben Harrison would be a viable outfield option for the Rangers sometime during the season. How does Ben compare in his current roster situation and offensive ability to Jason Botts?

Evan,

What do you suppose the Yankees would be willing to give up for Blalock? I can’t imagine they would give up very much for a guy that’s been injured a lot and won’t have a well-defined role when A-Rod gets back. If that’s the case, shouldn’t the Rangers hang on to him until at least trade deadline time to allow him to build some value?

Batface: Unless all hell breaks loose and there are four or five outfield injuries, Ben probably won’t get a chance here. I’m pretty sure he’ll be a minor league free agent after this season and he’ll catch on somewhere if he wants to. Over the past year or so, I’ve started to wonder if maybe Ben might end becoming something like Ryan Ludwick. Who knows?

What’s the story on Ben Harrison? I know he’s getting to the point where he’s too old to be considered a prospect, but he’s a big kid that seems to have some pop in his bat. If he doesn’t make big strides this season, will he ever?

Bye, bye Andruw.
