Not according to the Rangers.

When did Bill James say this? It must have been a long time ago. Pujols put up batting averages of .329, .314, .359, .331 his first 4 years to go alomg with well over 150 HR. It's no comparison to Mazara. Mazaras swing is nothing like Albert's. Bill James struck out here.

Hahn probably got too buddy buddy with the guy from Texas and made a silly trade with the advice of our HR or nothing scouts.

Enough Billy Hamilton jokes already ?

You know me well young Skywalker! Yes I look at k to walk coupled with batting average and doubles and triples. Love Madrigal!!! Mazara batting average not too impressive. Most importantly smart unselfish hitters, not HR or nothing guys.

We have a DH with Collins, McCann and Grandal.

Difference is Grandal can draw walks as he had 109 last season as a catcher. I'm sure someone on the Rangers scout team feels like I do otherwise they wouldn't have traded for Walker straight up.

Steele Walker is a better hitter right now than Mazara. We should have kept Walker and put him in RF.

Yes why not sign Dickerson. You will get more HR and more 2B.

Maybe Mazara is a trade chip for Benintendi!?!? Nice!!!!!

Maybe Gallo means he is stupid hitter. I don't care how many HR he hits if he only walks 30 times he is a selfish hitter, this is a Jim Thome pick. We need smart unselfish hitters. Not boom or bust guys that hit 20 doubles and can't draw a walk to save a fly.

Walker has a way better swing than Mazara. Walker not much movement in step while Mazara has high leg kick. It's no wonder why Mazara doesn't wakk. This must be a Jim Thome pick. Big mistake.

Of course Sox in love with a player that walks 30 times a season and strikes out over 100 times, fits right in!

Mazara has put up the same exact stats for 4 years straight, I highly doubt he will surge...he may even get worse. My guess is he will stay similar.

I thought we were shooting for BB and OBP!?!? We were dead last in the league last season in BB. We traded for a guy that draws 30 BB a year and gave away a guy that's hits for average and can draw walks. Silly terrible move.

Nooooo to Walker... He may be better than Mazara right now!!!!!!

We need more.

Another words they are not getting Mazara to win now, but instead using him as a trade chip for trying to win next season. Hahn already is making statements like he is afraid to win this year.

If we are getting Mazara because we want to trade him for another player or prospects because we are afraid of winning this year, then I'm going to be angry.

? Lol.... Ok let's nab that fish ?!

Let's monkey around with Nimmo. I would love to see what he can do for a full season. He has earned a shot.

I like him for, but not for Steele Walker. Basabe, Adolfo, Rutherford ok.

We did get Albert Belle and he raked!

It's just neat to be talking about this.

Sign Matt Duffy.
