That’s a lot of money to spend to try and win the silver boot😂😂😂👍

And they signed starting pitcher Jon Gray.
I was not too excited at first as he seems like maybe a #2-3 starter with a career W/L of 53/49 and 4.59 ERA.
BUT . . . he has pitched in Coors Field his entire career, and may well do a bit better in Arlington.
He has been very consistent in going deep in games (5.5 innings) with 16.5 pitches per inning, .260 AVG against and 1.34 WHIP, and 3:1 strikeouts to walks (829:280). Even the 105 homeruns in 829 innings does not look bad when you consider the thin air.
He may not be a #1 shutdown starter, but I think he is and will be the anchor for their rotation.Comment

$57mm a year for a second baseman and shortstop? Strong stuff. How was attendance last year with the new ballpark but a crap team? This should at least generate some interest from the fan base.Comment

The club is certainly spending money. Pessimistic / cynical me says to wait and see...
Chris Woodward is still managing and i don't know about him. Time will tell the tale.
Having said that, the club should most definitely be better. But there's still many a hole to fix. Go Chris Young.Comment

Attendance was marginal at best. No matter the venue, no one likes to watch suck, and last years team sucked. Should be more butts in seats this year. We'll see...Originally posted by rtp View PostComment

Semien and Seager will definitely make Woodward look a lot better.Originally posted by mikemorvan View Post

Better than one expected, but then again Texas allowed butts in the seats during covid times.

Texas was 5th in attendance for 2021. 2.1M for the season and averaged over 26k per game for a 60 win season. If they field a team with a chance, and include a couple of big name players it will keep fans going.Originally posted by mikemorvan View Post
Remember, they lost a year with a brand new stadium from the china virus, and its still not even broke in good. They were also one of the few teams that actually played a full 81 game home schedule.Comment

They at least act like they have a pulse this offseason... Thats a startComment

You are a real Ranger fan...always guarded! I am too, but I was not expecting this, this moves the time line up a few years. I still don't expect a ton this year, it will take at least another year to put together a good pitching staff, but it's a pulse.Originally posted by mikemorvan View Post
Don't mind Richard, he's still trying to justify that trophy they stole a few years back.

Because they got an indoor stadium like most civilized teams. You know the stadium with a roof that y’all hated so much 😂Originally posted by chunkinlead View PostComment
