The hitters Gutierrez faced did not have a chance on his curveball.  Gutierrez has great stuff, and he has a real shot to impact our bullpen this year as well as Scheppers.  I'd prefer he get more time in AA and AAA, but if he performs really well I don't see why you wouldn't give him a look in September.

Scheppers threw 1 83 mph breaking ball and an 89 mph changeup.  The rest were all fastballs ranging from 96 - 99.  We need a great nickname for this guy.  Enjoy!

Using Cot's Baseball Contracts as a reference, I extracted these contracts for a possible 25-man roster for next year. Our needs going into this off-season remain a LOOGY, a backup IF specialist, and a middle of the order bat that can DH.  If the Ranger's FO says our payroll will match last season's 68M, then we have roughly 11M to spend this winter.  (Cot's has what I believe to be higher contracts than reality for MY and Millwood, but these are the numbers I have, so I'm rolling with it)  (This assumes a 8M increase through arbitration etc)

Harrison, Hurley, Moscoso, Madrigal, Eyre all figure to be apart of the Rangers 'pen if not get a start at some point in '10.  Late season callups could include Scheppers, Kiker, etc

German, Boggs, Smoak, MaxRam, and Moreland will most likely be at AAA waiting to fill in for a need etc.

FA targets could include these
Position Players:
Bobby Abreu - Type A
Jermaine Dye - Type A
Mark DeRosa - Type B
Nick Johnson - Type B
Hideki Matsui - Type B
Jim Thome

LH Relievers:
John Grabow - Type A
Scott Eyre - Type B
Joe Beimel - Type B
Ron Mahay
Will Ohman - Type B

Other FA Pitchers:
Ben Sheets
Chad Cordero
Joaquin Benoit
Kiko Calero - Type B

Who would you want to fill the needed positions and how much would you allocate to them? 

There are plenty of trade targets out there as well that have been mentioned that include Halladay, Bradley, Dunn etc.
