—

LEWISVILLE, Texas -- Rangers general manager Jon Daniels is staying in touch with Casey Close, the agent who represents free-agent pitcher Ben Sheets. Right now, though, there is little to suggest that the Rangers will eventually sign Sheets, other than the fact that there has been negligible ...

Harper: Mets should play Sheets music

Wednesday Morning Rangers Notes: Midnight Marauders
Baseball Time in Arlington — Yes, I fully realize that it's actually after 3:30 a.m. CST as of this writing. Truth be told, I just wanted to work in a reference to A Tribe Called Quest at some point before spring training, and this seemed like just as good an opportunity to do it as any. I think this early-morning delirium is beginning to get to me. WHAT THEY'RE SAYING "The guy [Young] is well-compensated by the Rangers, and the Rangers are asking him to make a change that they think is good for the team. They should tell him, 'You're unhappy? OK, would you like to void your contract?' And of course the answer would be no." —One anonymous major league executive ...

Rangers "Not Looking To Trade" Young, But Why Not?
wrigleyville23 — Rangers general manager Jon Daniels is telling a fib: "We love Michael. We have nothing negative to say or will say about him. He's a tremendous player and teammate. We're not looking to trade him and have no plans to. We plan on him being a big part of our ballclub going forward." Why in the world would the non-contending Rangers not look to trade Young? He's 32 and his SLG is experiencing a ski slope-like four-year slide of .513 to .459 to .418 to the Neifiesque .402? The Rangers really don't want to unload $64 million over the next four years on an aging, deteriorating shortstop/third baseman? Then again, who would want him? Other ...

Bring Michael Young to Pittsburgh?
MVN RSS — The situation, in brief, is this: Michael Young won a Gold Glove award in 2008, even though he wasn't the best fielding shortstop in the American League. In December, the Texas Rangers asked Young to move to third base. Young had previously moved from second base to short after the 2003 season, when the Rangers traded Alex Rodriguez to New York for Alfonso Soriano. Now another young phenom, Elvis Andrus, is pushing him off his position. Young felt disrespected, threw a fit and asked for a trade. While the sides may be reconciling, and though Young holds a no-trade clause as part of a deal he signed in March of 2007, let's consider what a ...

Back to the future
Uwe Blog — Legend -- wait for it -- dary An interesting side story to the entire Michael Young "debacle" of the last week is the fan response. Judging from local talk radio, it's been (not really) surprising to hear that folks back Mike Young in the issue of the Texas Rangers wanting (telling) him to move to third base (it was silly of anyone, including me, to ...

Thursday's Frosty Mug
Brew Crew Ball — Some things to read while remembering to use the doorbell. Brian Anderson returned to his blog yesterday and gave us a tidbit of news I haven't seen anywhere else: Brewer pitchers and catchers will report on February 13, which is just 28 days away. Let the countdown commence. After attending several winter events with Doug Melvin, Anderson had this to say about Ben Sheets: ...
