fricking sell already. This team isn't catching Tampa or Oakland. Those 2 teams are probably the best teams in the AL right now anyway.

Stop holding onto this fantasy that this team can grab a wildcard spot and offload guys who can bring in hauls.

I can’t stand Jon Daniels. Such a complete imbecile. Organization needs to get over nostalgia and stop hanging onto to 2010-2011. Daniels has ruined guys career, and not made the right moves for about 6 years now.

Houston loves Jon Daniels. Needs a lifetime contract

That's the problem. Jon the Moron manages to sign a bunch of marginal players, then he can't dump them at any price. So the farm system suffers too (the AAA and AA teams are near the bottom of their leagues).

The only player that would bring back anything is Gallo, and the organization isnt trading him.

I feel they overachieved to this point. I don't think this is the year to go trading off whatever assets they may have worth a shite.

Yeah it’s time to fricking sell. We need some god damn infield prospects. Our play at 2nd,1st, 3rd and catcher is some of the worst I’ve ever seen. We have to have the worst infield in the league. I don’t even know how we’ve made it this far

Minor and Lynn both should be traded but I don’t see anyone giving up enough prospects for the trade to get moved forward. Usually it is the Rangers who overpay for rentals.

I’m on the sell bandwagon.

We won’t get back close to what we will request though.

What an overreaction. Daniels has traded away three total prospects that have become anything in Hendricks, Edwards Jr and Roark.

The Rangers have won almost every trade he has made.

It is widely known that Texas’ A teams are considered to be one of the most talent rich teams in baseball.

The Rangers would be contenders this year if they had picked up the options on Hamels/Perez.

Instead the Rangers got basically NOTHING in return for them.

Daniels sucks. He is good at overpaying for rentals, but terrible at getting anything in return for them

Neither Hamels or Perez were worth what we were paying them. They were awful for Texas last year.

He literally got us to two World Series because of the Teixera trade.

Oh come on. No overreaction at all. Jon Daniels is awful, most people recognize it. He hasn’t been much for quite awhile.

As evidenced by our shite farm system, our current team who is overachieving, the inability to ever get anyone. He has almost always made the wrong move as of late.

Theoretically they could since they are supposedly a "big market" team. But since they're spending a boatload on the Minute Maid Park replica, with what money do they have to buy players?
