MLB's momentum myth
Insider article.
Minors 8/27; Marteen day
Haven't had one of these in a while.
Which team do you think is the most exciting Rangers farm team?
I think the Spokane team might be the most exciting Ranges farm team (I think the AZL team is pretty exciting too). Lots of guys to keep an eye on on that team. Deglan, Olt, Profar, Chirino, Clark, Skole, Richmond, Hoying, etc.
Minors 8/16 & Draft signing news
Minors 8/14 and the PTBNL
The Rangers have acquired Class A catcher Michael Thomas from the Red Sox as the player to be named later in the Jarrod Saltalamacchia trade. The Rangers are sending him to Arizona and converting him to a pitcher. They had some success doing that when they took Alexi Ogando in the Minor League phase in the Rule 5 Draft. He was an outfielder for Oakland but A.J. Preller, who had scouted him in the Dominican Republic, suggested he be turned into a pitcher.
From T.R. Michael Thomas is not good at hitting the baseball. Seriously. Don't even bother looking at his stats becasue it's depressing.

Minors 7/29
Looks like someone is slacking so I will do this for today + I have a fancy new chart to post.
Grade the Lee trade
Wish AJM would have put up this poll for the Lee trade like the one we had for the Molina trade. Going to use the same scale as AJM did for the Molina trade with "0 being "Travis Hafner for Einar Diaz," and 10 being the Teixeira trade".
The M's sent Lee and reliever Mark Lowe to Texas for first baseman Justin Smoak and minor leaguers Blake Beavan, Josh Lueke and Matthew Lawson.

Oswalt to the Rangers?
According to Craig Calcaterra:
A major league source is telling me that the Rangers have been talking to the Astros about Roy Oswalt and that the teams are "getting closer" to having a deal in place. It's not yet clear which player(s) would be coming back from Texas to Houston, but my understanding is that the live bodies part of the deal is more or less agreed to.
But in place is not the same thing as done: the sticking point: the Rangers are trying to convince Major League Baseball -- who holds the purse strings until the sale of the Rangers is complete -- to allow them to take on Oswalt's salary.
So yes, there are a lot of "ifs" here at the moment. But unlike the multiple reports we've seen in the past several days regarding where Roy Oswalt would theoretically allow himself to be traded, we know right now that there are at least two teams -- the Rangers and the Astros -- who would like to see him pitching in the Dallas Metroplex, complicated financial considerations willing.
Minors 6/13
Haven't had one of these in a while. Seems like today is a good day to start one...

Minors 5/19 -- Marteen, Thompson
Minors 5/15 + Some Minor League moves
Couple of notes from Jason Cole (via twitter):
LoneStarDugout LHP Zach Phillips has been promoted to Triple-A Oklahoma City; RHP Cody Eppley promoted to Frisco.
LoneStarDugout Continuing the round of bullpen moves, LHP Yoon-Hee Nam is joining the High-A Bakersfield bullpen tonight.
I love his impersonation of Russell Branyan. This is truly an epic rant.
Tanner Scheppers to AAA
Buster_ESPN Tanner Scheppers was promoted by the Rangers to Class AAA. His numbers in Class AA: 11 innings, three hits, 1 ER, 19 Ks -- and zero walks.
Will post a link as soon as I find one. Don't see it reported anywhere else.
I wonder how Buster got this while Sullivan and Grant didn't.
