Podcast Episode 17: Trade Deadline Part 2 & Slumping Josh




Baseball Do... - Texas Rangers Podcast from the Fan's Perspective show

Summary: The trade deadline is fast approaching...Scott & Jasen discuss some recent developments, the Rangers next move and the slump of Hambone. The Angels landed the first blow yesterday in dealing for Zack Greinke to add to an already salty starting rotation, but did they mortgage too much  of there future for a rental player? Will the Rangers answer with a deal of there own?  Josh Johnson or James Shields? Do the Rangers need to add some offensive help?  Could we see a big bat that could eventually serve as the replacement of Josh Hamilton - someone like Carlos Gonzalez or Justin Upton?  Or, are we simply looking for depth form the likes of Alfonso Soriano or Jeff Francouer? Speaking of Hamilton, he is currently in the midst of the biggest slump in his career and he's starting to hear the boo-birds at Rangers Ballpark. What does this mean long-term? Can Hambone turn it around this year when we need him the most - September & October?
