Made it out to Globe Life last night and I must be Perez's good luck charm because I have now been in stands for both of his wins this season. Rangers got win number 67 which matches all of last seasons total with 34 games left to play. Fielder is still in a bit of a slump and he needs to get going again. Josh is back Monday but its feast or famine with him so who knows. Beltre is timeless and his bomb last night was awesome. I will also say that if April and early May are not part of the equation, Choo might be playing best of anyone on team not named Beltre or Deshields. Magic number is 33.
I think the Rangers let Gallardo go and re-sign Lewis. They just have too many pitchers in starting roles and as said above the economics say Gallardo moves on unless he gives a huge home town discount. If he does move on then Gonzalez, Tepesch and Martinez will be long relievers and spot starters and barring injuries the Rangers rotation will be Darvish, Hamels, Holland, Lewis and Perez. That is two aces and three very solid other starters and by far best overall rotation in AL West. I think the Rangers look to move Choo for money reasons but if he continues to play as well as he has since June maybe they decide to hold on to him.
