Originally expected to mimic last year’s players-for-prospects dealing of last summer, Texas now finds themselves competing for the playoffs. Strong play will solidify his spot in left field and prevent me from having to write about Chad Allen or Jason Tyner. Blalock hadn’t missed even an inning this season and Showalter wanted to give him some rest. Focus on injuries and position battles. He did walk to the dugout unassisted. I mean, he’s helping the Rangers immensely, but fantasy owners just can’t expect too much. A. Joaquin Benoit. Texas believes that his sinker has a bit more sink when he’s tired. All Quiet On The Rumor Front You certainly don’t want him this weekend with Pedro and Schilling on the menu. By the way, Texas really, REALLY hung Grady Fuson out to dry. Texas needed to win at least three of four against Oakland to have a reasonable chance to jump back into the division race. He largely has avoided the occasional meltdowns that have sapped some of Kenny Rogers’s value. Tom Hicks has succeeded fabulously in his other endeavours, but as a baseball club owner, he is a failure. He might be worth a flyer in deep AL-only leagues. The bland but reasonably effective KENNY ROGERS remains the best choice if you must own a Ranger starter. Soriano Rumors What does this mean? The rest, a motley collection of unrealized potentials and modest talents surviving on guts, are feast or famine. Starter #5 has yet to be determined. Nix has a 1.033 OPS going into Tuesday night; I have trouble envisioning an OPS above .850 by season end. The Ranger Rundown is not affiliated or associated with the Texas Rangers Baseball Club, Rangers Baseball Express LLC, or their related businesses. 38% of mixed-league owners now have staked their fortunes on RYAN DRESE., who was almost entirely ignored two weeks ago. With HERBERT PERRY sidelined, ERIC YOUNG, KEVIN MENCH, BRIAN JORDAN and GARY MATTHEWS always start against lefties. Rogers and company must not consider his strain serious or they probably would have held recently recalled NICK REGILIO out of last night’s game and started him today. After that, the Rangers went into a decade-long swoon, with only two winning seasons in 2004 and 2009. KENNY ROGERS’ ERA jumped from 3.42 to 4.21 in two starts while he pitched on a sore hamstring. Upside: Moderate – Could hit well over .300 if he figures out lefties. With Mike Lowell’s elbow still causing trouble, Blalock might be the third-best third sacker in fantasy ball behind Rolen and Chavez. Streaks and slumps that wouldn’t be noticed in July take on enormous significance in April. Again, he’s not for the faint of heart, but if you’re in a AL-only league and need a spot-start, Dominguez is widely available. Batting Average: .300. Perry is in Friday’s lineup and is worth a short-term pickup in AL-only leagues. HANK BLALOCK sat in two of the Rangers’ six NL-park games last week, both against lefties. RBI: 65. More on Young and a bedraggled Toronto squad. Texas may save him the long flight to Seattle and have him meet his teammates in Houston Friday. Found inside – Page 459Texas put him on its 40-man roster in the offseason, and he figures to do ,he ... Rangers scout Russ Ardelina recommended Mendoza after seeing him pitch in ... In the outfield, Mench always starts, LAYNCE NIX and DAVID DELLUCCI start against righties, Nivar and ERIC YOUNG against lefties. Drese doesn’t strike out many batters but has pitched better than his seven wins would indicate. Depressing. In mixed leagues, you’re better off with Andy Pettitte; i.e., someone who won’t pitch the rest of the season. Prepare to disengage. Meanwhile, HANK BLALOCK is batting a paltry .151 with one homer since the break and is down to .277 average on the season, leading some local scribes to suggest he’s tired. Mench suffered a dreaded oblique muscle pull throwing out Alex Rodriguez at home plate in Sunday’s game. Raise you hand if you believed the Texas Rangers would have the best record in baseball in early May. If interested, just watch and wait. Rodriguez is a fine prospect but prone to completely lose his curveball. DAVID DELLUCCI has pleasantly surprised, but I remain the skeptic. On the 25-man roster, KEVIN MENCH remains the most available talent, though Texas has does nothing to market him since the All-Star Break. He’s allowing a .272 average on balls in play, lower than the team as a whole but not so low that his ERA appears fraudulent. Mench had missed 15 games with a strained oblique muscle. No, I’m serious. Coming off patella tendon surgery. Rogers continues to impress, quietly, with a 3.54 ERA and 1.31 WHIP. Teixeira Rests, Owners Fret GERALD LAIRD, out since May with a torn thumb ligament, returned from the DL a good two weeks earlier than expected. Wins: 10. D. Ryan Drese. Based on his components (hits allowed, walks, homers, etc. Knight has Elvis Andrus in his rosters. Why A “Scooby Doo” Sequel? Downside: Moderate – Has 40-homer potential but is very green, not yet 24. Perhaps. A homer every four innings makes for a lofty ERA. RYAN DRESE also continues to pitch well. Kenny Rogers’ 2002 campaign was the only fantasy-worthy performance by a starter I’ve witnessed in two years on this assignment. Starting Pitcher: TBD He’s still an obvious must-own in AL-only leagues and a pretty risky choice in mixed leagues. The Rangers began play in 1961 as the Washington (D.C.) Senators and have won two AL pennants (2010 and 2011).. Upside: Moderate – Hit .290 with 43 homers and 177 RBI as a Dodger in 2002-2003. CHAN HO PARK has joined the Disabled List for the 73rd time as a Ranger, suffering from the same back muscle soreness and weakness that halted his 2003 season. Downside: High – How much will he play? Fantasy advice: Sit tight. Laird has started three of the first four games but may not play quite as often as his owners would hope. There is the possibility that he could go to an NL team, but again, his single-league owners should hold on. Trade Rumors ERIC YOUNG has recovered from the spider bite that nearly landed him on the DL (really). Slugging Percentage: .450. Current A’s correspondent John Gizzi, former ESPN correspondents Kent Williams and Mick Doherty, and a host of other fine writers will keep you entertained over the cold winter. Conversely, Texas pitches better on the road, but the pitchers worth owning don’t suffers from extreme splits. Rogers has a 4.04 career ERA in Arlington, has aged well and actually set his personal best strikeout-to-walk ratio as a starter last year. Unfortunately, his more closely resembles the second line than the first. On the downside, Soriano shouldn’t run as much as in years past given his new spot in the order. Texas probably has little choice but to leave JOAQUIN BENOIT in the rotation, R.A. DICKEY gets another shot, and NICK REGILIO could also get some starts. Anyone Else? Young is a fine player, a solid fantasy performer, and I’d gladly draft him, but I think that 2003 is about as good as he gets. Healthy Rangers on the 40-man roster but not on the 25 currently include ADRIAN GONZALEZ, ROSMAN GARCIA, JASON BOURGEOIS, EDWIN MORENO, and BEN KOZLOWSKI. July 2, 2001: Ken Caminiti was released by the Texas Rangers. Overall risk: High. It’s a long season. Why the funk? Against lefties, Mench, Matthews and Young should start. On the other hand, if you’ve got a starter you wouldn’t mind jettisoning and want to take a chance, Drese is a good risk. In six years, Fullmer has never batted lower than .273, had an OBP below .321, or slugged worse than .444. Homers: 41. Blalock should start almost every game down the stretch. Blalock is batting only .175 since the break with counting stats that are bad but not disastrous (14 runs, 3 homers and 15 RBI in 31 games). For fantasy owners, even those who dislike the Rangers, this is wonderful news. Six games against Tampa Bay and a bullpen-deficient Tribe will cure many ills. They should continue to start practically every game against a lefty. That should revert to normal patterns after Wednesday, so owners of Nix, Dellucci, and Fullmer should be happy, while owners of Young and Nivar won’t see their players in the lineup as often. Spot in Batting Order: #1. Found inside – Page 198Texas Ranger Norman K. Dixon Kemp Dixon ... lists Norman Dixon as a “special student,” separate from the '37 class roster because he had accepted a position ... Jr.-SQ. Next year, he’ll probably be eligible only at first base… Are fantasy owners really picking Joe Nathan and Jorge Julio before Joel Pineiro? The team ERA rests gently below 4.00, better than every AL team but Boston. American League West. Sullivan of MLB.com reports. Young’s offensive output is very heavily reliant on batting average; his walk rate fell last year to one per 20 plate appearances, about half as often as you’d like (especially from a leadoff hitter). Likewise Colby Lewis, who won’t be permitted again to throw 100+ innings with a 7+ ERA. I remained skeptical until recently, but no more. Slugging Percentage: .420. (So promising that Arizona dropped him in favor of Brent Mayne.) PK. Owners of Rangers hitters should prepare themselves for two weeks of decreased production: Texas has scored 6.7 runs per game in Arlington compared to just 4.1 on the road. Inept? Don’t be afraid to draft him, but I wouldn’t expect any improvement on last year’s statistics. news schedule standings social roster stats videos odds. Some minor injuries and all the lefties have limited him to 27 plate appearances this month. The daily rotation and nearly sublime wretchedness of catchers ROD BARAJAS and GERALD LAIRD continues apace. Also high on the most-added list in AL-only leagues are outfielders RAMON NIVAR and DAVID DELLUCCI. RYAN DRESE has pitched just as well as Rogers but has only four wins. The good news is that I get to see a Ranger Spring Training game in Arizona on Monday. I’m not saying this WILL happen; frankly, I don’t know how the outfield rotation will resolve itself. Texas Rangers 2009 Roster Thread. Texas has transferred catcher GERALD LAIRD to the 60-day Disabled List, meaning Laird won’t play before late July regardless of the health of his thumb ligament. MICHAEL YOUNG’s OPS has fallen from 1.007 to a miserly .880 during the last three weeks, and he is the most popular inquiry in my reader mail. Batting Average: .295. 2004 PROJECTIONS: Position: 2B. I don’t see him having value in mixed leagues except 12-team leagues that seem to have a dearth of decent outfielders on the waiver wire. I expect him to tail off some, but not enough to hurt your team. He will amaze with his string-pulling changeup, then toss the baseball carelessly into a wheelhouse, often within the same inning. Join Date: Apr 2004. This from a guy who hit 38 homers and drove in 91 last year. Young has played there capably in the past and was already eligible at that position in ESPN leagues. 2004 PROJECTIONS: Position: 1B. KEVIN MENCH starts against lefties and has absolutely disappeared against righties. Two consecutive quality starts from CHAN HO PARK, surely a sign of impending doom. If you own him in an AL-only league, pray for a hot start, then consider trading him at what should be peak value. His owners needn’t bother with stashing him on their DLs; he’ll throw his next pitch in winter ball or perhaps next February. KEVIN MENCH is the only everyday outfielder. Texas Grudgingly Tours The National League As of Friday night, Laird is the most added player in AL-only leagues. If you’re wondering about potential shortstops coming up from the minors, well, the 2003 shortstop in AAA Oklahoma was none other than Manny Alexander. Gumption? B. Chan Ho Park. In this arrangement, Dellucci could start about two of every three games while Brian Jordan rests his knee. Manager Buck Showalter has said he won’t play Texiera there until at least the last game of the Cincinnati series. Texas might have tried easing him back into everyday day, but now they don’t have that luxury, as LAYNCE NIX sprained his shoulder the day after Mench returned. As I’d mentioned last week, Drese really is pitching better than in previous seasons, but that doesn’t necessarily make him worthwhile in mixed leagues. Mench, Jordan injured Barring an improbable trade for more offense, Texas could spread the DH at-bats among several players, mostly outfielders. Roster Expansion Worries? Apparently, both are okay. Figures were obtained by The Associated Press from management and player sources and include salaries and pro-rated shares of signing bonuses. He should spot-start at every outfield position, occasionally DH against lefties, and start at second when ALFONSO SORIANO takes a rare day off. KEVIN MENCH has started 19 of 20 and batted a sterling .301/.344/.542 in August, though he ended up with a rather uninspiring 12 runs and 11 RBI. 15-DAY DISABLED LIST: OF Brian Jordan (sprained left knee); LHP Brian Shouse (left shoulder); RHP Jeff Zimmerman (right elbow). Steals: 25. Back in March, I predicted a strong year for FRANCISCO CORDERO and an upside of 35-40 saves. I could throw out my usual blather about past performance and “regression to the mean,” but his twelve homers in 144 at-bats trumps my tired debate-club talking points. Jay Powell, Rosman Garcia, Erasmo Ramirez, and a variety of non-roster invitees will fight for jobs in the back of the bullpen. In the Oakland series, he batted .388 with five runs and seven runs batted in plus a homer. The superficial answer is “Are you insane? He may miss Thursday and Friday with a bruised hand. Michael Young had his career season in 2003, batting .306 with 14 homers and 106 runs scored. The local papers speculate that Young might push Kevin Mench for time in left field. RAMON NIVAR also has performed well, perhaps putting a little pressure on putative center fielder LAYNCE NIX. KENNY ROGERS-like competence is his upside. Drese faces off against Curt Schilling in Boston for his next start, so those in mixed leagues ought to consider dropping him for now, then perhaps grabbing him in time for his next start against Toronto. Keep in mind that it’s a risky maneuver with considerable downside. Found inside – Page 226M. H. Spinks , interview by author , Eldorado , Texas , 2004 . 7. ... DPS , Roster of Texas Ranger Force , October 14 , 1947 , HFC ; DPS , Roster of Texas ... Barring a total collapse, Texas will be playing meaningful baseball well into September. Nevertheless, he’s a premier player and belongs in your lineup. Blalock hasn’t hit lefties well at all and sat out against most of them in 2003. The Official Site of Minor League Baseball web site includes features, news, rosters, statistics, schedules, teams, live game radio broadcasts, and video clips. Texas won’t play the last three interleague road games in early July. Rodriguez’s tepid and qualifier-larded statement: “I definitely think I'm going to be here for a long time. He’s owned in only 3% of mixed leagues. For now, neither offers any support in mixed leagues and not much even in AL-only leagues. JOAQUIN BENOIT is preferable to Drese but is horribly erratic. The typical Ranger outfield should consist of Allen, ERIC YOUNG and Matthews against lefties and DAVID DELLUCCI, LAYNCE NIX, and Matthews against righties. September is shaping up to be a complete washout reminiscent of his rookie-season struggles in 2002: .069, two runs, zero homers, two RBI. The fearsome foursome of KENNY ROGERS, CHAN HO PARK, COLBY LEWIS and R.A. DICKEY has two wins, a WHIP of 1.15 and 22 strikeouts. Not for the moment, anyway. There are none. Most likely, Soriano will play second base with MICHAEL YOUNG shifting to shortstop. Drop him and forget about him. By moving from leadoff to the #3 spot, and from Yankee Stadium to the hitter-friendly Ballpark, Soriano ought to set personal records in every statistical category except steals and runs. HERBERT PERRY couldn’t DH Monday because of a strained calf and might hit the DL. He’ll leach into someone’s at-bats in the process, probably ERIC YOUNG’s or a bit of BRIAN JORDAN’s. Young and Soriano still are quality fantasy players and belong in your lineup every day. Downside: High – 37 and injury prone. No room to DH. I am duty-bound to report that CHAN HO PARK claims to be fully cured of his various physical and mental ailments. They may call up RAMON NIVAR and move LAYNCE NIX from center to right. The Biggest Trade In The History Of Mankind failed to consummate, leaving baseball’s best and most expensive player in the employ of the Texas Rangers. On the upside: well, he’s living his upside right now. Manager Buck Showalter named Alex Rodriguez the Rangers’ Captain and Supreme Allied Commander of NATO forces in Europe. Showalter wanted Soriano to play shortstop occasionally in Spring Training, but he reacted as though he’d been told to eat brussel sprouts every meal. Now, especially with JEFF ZIMMERMAN likely done for an extended period and perhaps forever, Cordero enters the season with no competition for saves. Arihara was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Sunday.. Arihara inked a two-year, $6.2 million deal with Texas in the offseason but has … Texas once had a team full of 1B/DH types, but now the cupboard is surprisingly bare (the Hafner-for-Diaz trade sure worked out, didn’t it?). Plate Appearances: 450. The stance in the The Show 2007 game labelled 'Kinsler' is NOT his. Thanks to ESPN fantasy chief Eric Karabell for giving me the gig back in February 2002. If nothing else, that indicates what a boring team the Rangers are from a fantasy perspective. ALFONSO SORIANO actually has a slightly higher second-half OPS; his is more of a season-long slowdown. He would be a decent short-term pickup who might get you a small handful of steals.. Allen, a righty batter with better power, will probably play only against lefties will contribute only in the largest of AL-only leagues. In 2003, a gimpy but obstinate Rafael Palmeiro left fantasy players and yours truly perplexed about who would play on any given night. The Rangers had already placed CHAD ALLEN on waivers, so he can’t rejoin the team so soon. Detail page for Roster 1998 Texas Rangers Free Sim Baseball League For the jillionth time, spring stats are meaningless… but HANK BLALOCK has hit the cover off the ball. See the full player roster for the 2021 Houston Texans. Mench is the team’s most tradable outfielder: reasonably young, some upside, won’t embarrass himself in center, apparently doesn’t fit Showalter’s coat-and-tie style of play. Texas hosts Pittsburgh and St Louis this week, so owners of Texas batters needn’t concern themselves with losing the DH until June 15. Potentially, still-healing JUAN DOMINGUEZ and non-roster AA hurler JOHN HUDGINS could start a few games, but they would be taking the place of fantasy non-entities like NICK REGILIO. As Texas enters July with a record of 34-46, that impending salary bump will loom large, not to mention the $5.4 million he makes this season. Payrolls and average salaries for the Opening-Day rosters of the 30 major league teams. Which free-agent pitchers are facing offense-impaired failures like Seattle, KC, Montreal and Arizona? I’m pretty sure GERALD LAIRD won’t bat .395 for the season. Overall risk: Moderate. Park and Lewis almost certainly will hold spots. Soriano Stays Put In 2004, the switch-hitter has belted ten of his fifteen homers on the road and has a higher OPS against righties than lefties. KENNY ROGERS R.A. DICKEY has pitched very well; he won’t maintain a 3.48 ERA but probably won’t fall apart. Despite playing 31 of 53 games at home after the All-Star break, Texas has sputtered with a record of 26-27 and stands six games behind Oakland with only 23 to play. Saturday, he kept the Yanks guessing “fastball” and throwing “change” all day. R.A. DICKEY will mimic Park, ranging between brilliant and awful from start to start. MARK TEIXEIRA is slowly righting his ship, hitting .265 with five homers in June. Bizarro Rangers Don’t expect much playing time or production. None inspires confidence. I would expect Texas to play its regulars persistently until the team is eliminated (or, just maybe, isn’t eliminated), and even then the marquee players should start most of the time. Jordan should continue to start primarily against lefties. R.A. DICKEY collapsed on Sunday. They are the potential replacements. NL Champ: Philadelphia. If you’re the kind of owner who sits on one lineup, Mench probably offers better support than Nix. Plate Appearances: 450. Mark him down a little more on your depth chart. All-Star KENNY ROGERS pitched Monday with a sore hamstring. Not coincidentally, Texas has only two wins in the last eleven games. 2004 Opening Day Payrolls. OUTFIELDERS (4): David Dellucci, Kevin Mench, Ramon Nivar, Laynce Nix. ERA: 3.35. Drese Gets Attention At last, Buck Showalter admitted he’s assigning outfield and DH duties based on feel. It's Blalock's. Gonzalez has no Major League at-bats and has yet to hit well in AAA. Simply put, this cannot stand. He pitched through a hamstring pull in mid-July but is now healthy, yet ineffective. The hobbled player with the most fantasy promise is LAYNCE NIX. On-base Percentage: .345. The “Ranger Cavalcade of Back-End Starters” {tm} marches on with the arrival of MICKEY CALLAWAY, who pitched adequately in his return from elbow surgery. On-base Percentage: .350. MICHAEL YOUNG has a disappointing line of .260/.299/.362 since the All-Star break and just completed a gloomy August of .226/.268/.311. Rod Barajas’ career slugging average going into 2004 was .334. Yes, Manny “career line of .232/.285/.328 and hasn’t played ML ball since 2000” Alexander. Drese Gets the Shakes, Rogers Maintains KEVIN MENCH remains the only certainty; he has missed only one game and is batting well against lefties and righties. He won’t play often, just often enough to steal at-bats from his more fantasy-worthy brethren. He doesn’t run much anymore or hit for power; his three-run shot on Wednesday was his first of the season. I suppose Texas is more likely to trade for pitching, though the rumours of rent-a-player Kris Benson for LAYNCE NIX and JUAN DOMINGUEZ gave me a hearty chuckle. Had Texas traded Rodriguez for Soriano straight-up, at least the Ranger brass could have excused the deal as a pure salary dump. 3rd in AL West. Texas Comptroller's Office Texas Ranger pensions, 1917, 1928, 1931, 1938, 1959-1990, bulk 1959-1990, 0.94 cubic ft. That’s life in Hotown. 9. Who is the Rangers player that played 1st base in 2000 and had 163 hits in 565 at bats? A local writer recently opined that Texas should keep MICHAEL YOUNG at second, move Soriano to the outfield, and… no, don’t make me type it… aaaggh!… MANNY ALEXANDER at shortstop. Like many managers, Showalter holds too strong an affection toward “scrappy” players with a modicum of talent (c.f., Donnie Sadler). Tyner himself has little chance of making the club, much less getting significant playing time, but fellow partner in scrappiness DAVID DELLUCCI could end up getting far more at-bats than he deserves. Texas’s big hitters aren’t going anywhere. If you picked him up in a mixed league after his hot start and blithely left him in your everyday lineup, you’ve gotten little in return. Buck Showalter is a no-nonsense kind of manager and probably doesn’t look kindly on the number-three hitter running wild on the basepaths. DAVID DELLUCCI and Mench should accrue most of the corner outfield at-bats, but GARY MATTHEWS is the superior defender and is hitting righties at a .302/.347/.512 clip. BRIAN JORDAN has batted reasonably well in his stead (5-for-12 but with just one run and no RBI) but you still shouldn’t bother with him in all but the largest AL-only leagues. Cranky? Well, I still expect mediocre-to-average quality, but those in mixed leagues might not want to wait around just to see if Rogers can be average. Not worth the hassle in mixed leagues. Soriano for a package of Mets’ prospects? Relish the 13 wins and take heart that his overall ERA of 4.36 and WHIP of 1.35 haven’t caused serious damage to your team. Zimmerman allowed seven runs without retiring a batter in his first game appearance. Of course, the Texas infield is unavailable, and the outfield remains a patchwork of platoons and what-mood-am-I-in-today lineup shuffles from Mssr. The average age of their putative starting nine is 33.4 even despite failing to acquire 37-year-old Omar Vizquel. The Rangers do it frequently, so if you own any number of Ranger hitters, you need to know when they play and when they sit. I'll try and get a CAP to you guys later, if you don't have it. RYAN DRESE continues to excel, having allowed two of fewer runs in each of his last four starts and finally getting the wins to match his efforts. This season, he has two fine starts in which he threw 131 and 118 pitches. Barajas owners in leagues with 10 or more teams may have to grit their teeth and hope for the best. Nelson is out until August and is a must-drop. He still could help very active owners in 12-team mixed leagues. He won’t. If you want to trade a hot property at the absolute peak of his value, trade Michael Young. Nix easily has the most value in trade, but Texas wants to keep him. Ranger Hurlers Dominates A’s, World Next I keep expecting him to revert to a level in-between his earlier mastery and his recent awfulness, but he keeps being awful. He will help any AL-only team (92% owned in ESPN). MARK TEIXEIRA’s neck strain hasn’t troubled him lately. RBI: 115. All columns may be sorted by clicking the column name. He’s a risk in AL-only leagues, probably a worthwhile risk if you’re carrying dead weight. (The strategy can work, just not by using the team I happen to cover.) In sum, Mench will play most often, but no one will play every day. Teixeira should be okay, but keep an eye on him. He’s still learning, but when he puts it all together he’ll be phenomenal. THE OUTFIELD: A Mess Texas has no obvious replacement for Rodriguez. Like last year, expect some pointless platooning, too many at-bats bestowed on retreads, and other moves that denote little more than Showalter’s need to insert himself into the game. They pick their best lineups and don’t make many bench or free-agent moves. I had hoped KEVIN MENCH would settle back into everyday play once he returned from the DL – he started 42 of the first 43 games – but an 0-for-13 run in his first three games has him trapped in the Mystery Platoon Zone. Don’t get him now, silly, but keep him in the very back of your head for future reference. Visit ESPN to view the Texas Rangers team roster for the current season He probably would have played during the regular season. HANK BLALOCK is batting a paltry .232 in May after hitting .337 in April. ROD BARAJAS and GERALD LAIRD continue to alternate games behind the plate irrespective of the opposing pitcher. Found inside – Page 245The Minnesota Twins acquired "Everyday" Eddie Guardado from the Texas Rangers to strengthen the bullpen, to make room for him on the roster they are ... Texas will hold him out until Sunday; Toronto offers a weak offense but consider keeping Rogers on your bench until he proves healthy. The 2007 Texas Rangers team roster seen on this page includes every player who appeared in a game during the 2007 season. He does get to face Toronto this weekend and Seattle down the road, but he’s a very high risk, too high for most of you. texas rangers 2004 roster. Blalock probably would have sat out Tuesday if not for Teixeira’s injury, but in any case it appears he’ll start against most lefties. Big Tex Returns Young turns 37 in May. Blalock, at least, is still hitting for power away from Arlington. Ricardo Rodriguez, who just returned from an appendectomy? 2007 Texas Rangers Roster. Also, with GERALD LAIRD due back in about one month, Barajas probably has a limited shelf-life as a worthwhile fantasy player. Laird appeared in 123 games in AA in 2002 but Texas seems content with the “two on, one off” rotation with ROD BARAJAS. Outfield Taking Shape BRAD FULLMER is feeling no ill effects from last season’s knee surgery. No Filler All Meat Minor-league stats were all over the map, making him hard to project. The 1997 Texas Rangers roster for the MLB regular season and playoffs C. … As you might surmise, the Rangers fantasy correspondent doesn’t waste to much of his time writing about pitching. On-base Percentage: .330. Buck Showalter has declared Mench not quite ready for prime time and has benched him in four of the last five games. I wish I could recommend someone. None of the team’s fantasy-worthy players is going anywhere, in my opinion. I don’t intend to offer a prediction for him this year, as he has made me look quite foolish the last two years. Batting Average: .300. AL-only owners should get him off the bench or DL immediately. Rookie Andy Ibanez's two-run single highlighted a four-run second inning for Texas and fellow rookie A.J.
