Is Washington going to get canned if the Rangers don't make the wildcard game?

I think Wash will get canned if Jon Daniels has his way to deflect some blame. There was a ton of skepticism during the off season when he let Napoli leave and didn't even give him a qualifying offer. He's a high strikeout hitter but he can do some damage. I believe Napoli even said he would stay in Texas.

Then they went and signed Lance Berkman who was about to retire after coming off from knee surgery with the Cards. Napoli would have been a far better DH/ rotating 1B with Moreland than Berkman as a DH obviously.

Letting Josh Hamilton go is an argument that can go either way. What should have maybe happened with Cruz is Daniels should have told him to appeal it, and if Cruz does and depending on his performance he would be offered a good contract. I don't know if that's even legal though.

To be honest though I don't even know much of a say Jon Daniels has in acquiring players anymore since he was promoted during the offseason.

 

[rekameohs]

Two-hitter wins are fun wins.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Dammit Indians, wild card spot up for grabs and you choke.

Anyway, with Rays and Rangers playing each other, we're sitting pretty even with losing 2 of 3.

As another dismal season winds down for the Miami Marlins, owner Jeffrey Loria has taken over as the decision maker for the majority -- and perhaps all -- of the team's baseball matters, according to the Miami Herald.

That would seem to put the futures of president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest and team president David Samson in jeopardy for next season.

"He has marginalized the front office," a source told the newspaper. "The front office isn't making decisions. Loria makes them all."

Among the examples given in the report, the Marlins brass tried to send scuffling catcher Rob Brantly to the minors in May. But Loria disagreed and Brantly remained in the majors until August, when he was finally demoted.

Also, the front office wanted to call up utility infielder Chris Valaika last month, only to have Loria deny the promotion. The infielder was one of several players who accused former hitting coach Tino Martinez of verbal and physical assault. Martinez was a personal hire by Loria.

"The team is run in this sort of backwards way," a source was quoted in the report.

Loria pls sell ;_;

 

[jakncoke]

Rangers really choking it away lol

 

[darkside31337]

Rangers are just doing Brandi a favor by choking in September instead of October this year.

Stanton trade incoming?

 

[ph33nix]

Stanton trade incoming?

Is that even a question? You might as well throw Jose Fernandez in trade talks now too

Not that Loria will get rid of cheap labor but when its a year or two away from being eligible for FA, fire up those trade talks

 

[Fox318]

Loria will move a team back to Montreal.


Expos are back baby.

We still have some dudes left like Leury Garcia........ Oh wait we gave him up for Rios. Nevermind we're screwed. I think there is a 25 year old 1B out of AA that's pretty good though!
