Not so sure it is a solid evaluation with the Rangers in town. SP is making his 2nd career start in the bigs

Hey, if it's AAA pitching, maybe Wood and S-Rod will be able to hit him.

Not his second career start though, just his second with the Rangers. McCarthy was with the White Sox for a while. They traded him for John Danks. Now Danks is a staff ace, and McCarthy is still trying to prove he’s a big league pitcher.

Because he has power and

He calls a fine game and don’t try to say that the meltdowns tonight and last night by the SP’s are his fault. The dude brings his stick to the park. He isn’t great, but he is a slugging machine and I’ll take that from my catcher every day of the week…

When he has a higher slg percentage than Vlad entering tonight. If he batted DH when he wasn’t catching he’d have 35 homers easy.

if he got full playing time, we’d have a legit #5 power hitter.

A dropping K rate is BAD news, as is a low K rate.

Garland has never had good K rates, hence his consistent mediocrity. But a DROPPING K rate is a sign he could really suck going forward.

If you check out what Brandon Wood did the past 2 months in AAA at age 23

Compared to what Tim Salmon did all year in AAA at age 23 they aren’t too far off.

Salmon hit for a better average and more walks, but Wood has more power.
