Can we trade Hank to the Astros for Pudge?

I think they ought to switch Hamilton and Murphy. I really don,t think Murphy is comfortable in the three spot and he was really great in the five spot last year. Also when Cruz comes back he should be DH not the either of Warshs favorites AJ and Byrd they both stink there. Byrd gets a lot of hits but he has no pitch recognition at all he just free swings. Cruz should not play in the outfield as was said he has a good arm but poor routes to balls. Byrd is the same way but he doesnt have a good arm.
Several times it has looked like Byrd made a sensatiional catch but it is because he takes the wrong route to the ball and has to dive for it. Those catches would be routine for Hamilton Ellsbury and some of the other good center fielders. As for Jones his OPS is coming down check the stats.

@jack–

funny, my wife and I will be out at the game Thursday night too. I was pumped to find out Holland was slated to start that night.

I got my (blue) Andrus jersey all the way back in May. Next up may have to be Feliz. Probably will have to go with red this time.

When Murphy got pinch hit for today all I could think of was how strange of a lineup we have that our #3 hitter is being pinch hit for. I bet that hasn’t happened in the major leagues all year this year, unless there was some sort of injury. I love Murphy and think he is an everyday player on a good team but I like him a lot more in the 6 or 7 hole…not #3.

This team is the most fun Rangers squad I can ever remember. What a season it has been thus far!

I don’t think they do it though. We are more likely to see something done with German, be it a “DL” stint or DFA. I’m anxious to see who leaves the bullpen for Grilli. I think he is maybe the most underrated guy coming out of the pen.

@Rangers Fan-
Yes, by all means keep Borbon, I agree, let’s see what he can do over a long stretch. He’s only been awesome so far.
