Max Ramirez Video
Max Ramirez against Eric Milton, May 7th, 2009 (via MinorLeagueBall) Here is Max Ramirez working the count against Eric Milton, May 7th, 2009. He showed a better approach here in the second game than in the first game I saw him play. The numbers aren't there yet this year but I still...
Wednesday a.m. things
Evan Grant reports that the Rangers will have a group of young pitchers report this week for the team's first ever "conditioning camp." Grant also notes that the Rangers have interest in Boston's Michael Bowden and Clay Buchholz, and are having Jose Vallejo play some shortstop in winter...
The disappearance of Mad Max
The Rangers called up Max Ramirez on September 15. He started that day, going 0 for 1 with two walks and a HBP, and was lifted for a pinch runner in the 8th. That's the last start he's made. He came in late in yesterday's game and on September 17, to fill in during garbage time, and that's been...
Tuesday morning thoughts: Lowrie, Varitek, Salty
via d.yimg.com I recently came to the realization that Jed Lowrie is the real deal. I haven't seen anything out of him recently that makes me question that. He has excelled in every facet of the game and looks like he could be our shortstop of the future. On a side note, I've always liked...

Thursday a.m. things
So, yeah, I was planning on doing a post this morning, weighing the pros and cons of calling up Christopher Davis, with Hank Blalock being out a couple more weeks, and trying to figure out what the Rangers would do. That appears to be moot now. Evan Grant says Jon Daniels has confirmed Chris...
Saturday morning things
Sigh. Gerald Laird is heading for the disabled list with a badly strained hamstring. This bums me out. I think most folks here know how I feel about Laird, who I think was jerked around a little by the organization earlier in his career. The whole baseball credo that you don't lose your...
6/15 minors
Chris Davis has his 6th AAA homer tonight. And Mad Max is 1 for 1 with a walk, as I post this.
Max Ramirez, Texas League player of the month
Richard Durrett reports that Max Ramirez has been named Texas League player of the month for May. He also asks if it is time to promote Ramirez, who isn't exactly young for AA, and who is dominating the league. The problem, of course, is that Taylor Teagarden is already at AAA, and if you want...
