 | re: Rangers beat Tigers 11-8, best in Bigs (Cabrera is using a -8 DiMarini) - BigBoyTiger on 5/19/13 at 10:47 pm I agree that Kins and Yu have been awesome.
But my thought process is this: Lewis is down, Harrison is down. You are forced to go with two rookies in the rotation. ERAs under 4.50. They are winning. They have been fairly consistent.
But I agree with the other selections as well....

I am going with co-MVPs: Nick Tepesch and Justim Grimm. They have kept things going well...not so bad for your 6th and 7th starters!...

 | re: Josh Hamilton says he's "off upstairs" - BigBoyTiger on 5/15/13 at 8:35 am It was a good move to let him go. There was a lot of controversy in letting him go.
However, the fact that he quit on the team in the second half and couldn't make adjustments at the plate after May told me it was the right decision.
I wish I could pull up the thread of him signing with the An...
