Carp is on board with the Goldy acquisition....
Drew never took a step forward when he would get his shot in the majors. Good athlete that has the tools if he can put it together. I don’t think you will see one Rangers fan sad about it thoughAs a Card fan, the team became instantly better with Goldy. Carp will move to 3rd. base-- he is a team player.
Can some of you tell me about Drew Rob, whom we traded Pat Wisdom to the Rangers for. Btw, Wisdom is a good player.
The Sammy Sosa trade doesn't look so bad now. Now the Rangers and Tom Grieve can say they traded for a HOFer.

You can already see it lowering the bar....the main discussion since it was announced has been "well if Harold Baines is in the Hall....".
There's simply no metric which indicates Harold as a HOFer. I generally hate the "compiler" moniker but if there is such a thing then HB is the definition of such.

Still wish we would have traded him for Archer a couple years agoWow. Just got 4 different app notifications about the trade. I was really high on Profar. Loved what I saw from him last year. Over 60 extra base hits. We finally started to see what the hype was about. A bit disappointed but I get the reality of the situation.
I agree with this, but not sure Gallo could have commanded as much in a trade. Also, it appears the league and analysts are trending toward more HRs and extra base hits at the expense of hitting for average and keeping strikeout numbers down. Given that he may have been more attractive in a trade than I think.I like the prospects Rangers got. But would rather have traded Gallo and all his strikeouts to get them. And keep Profar to play 3b. We need a 3b.

If this trend continues what I previously thought was an untouchable strikeout record for Nolan may suddenly be attainable again. That said, whoever wants to do it will have to start pitching more innings than modern pitchers tend to get.
