Elvis is blowing me away this year. I got a chance to talk to him a couple of weeks ago while he was warming up and he is just a funny guy. I cant wait to see how many bases he steals this year. I think he has a good shot at breaking a record for most steals without getting caught. plus he has 2 home runs to boot.
Matt is doing great but he seems to always have one bad inning.
The guy to watch is Moreland, I think in two years, maybe even next year, he will be right up there with Kinsler and Cruis. He bats like he wrote a text book on it. While he was in the minors they told him he should pitch because he can't hit. He showed them.

I know hindsight is 20/20 but that was just a bad trade all around.
Apparently, Andrus was expendable because Yunel Escobar was the future SS of the Braves. Well, he had attitude issues back then and really I think he should of been traded while his value was high. They could of got a stop gap SS if they didn't feel Andrus was ready.
There was no way to resign Texeira and Escobar is now a Blue Jay. The worse part of it is the Braves have absolutely no speed and rank at the bottom of the MLB in SB and attempts.

The offense has been disappointing so far, and I think that has a lot to do with Clint Hurdle leaving.
In fact, I think the Rangers would be better off had they fired Washington, and hired Hurdle to be their manager last year, but of course, that wasn’t going to happen after last year’s run.
