Rangers sign Erubiel Durazo

Posted by Joe Siegler on February 21, 2006 at 9:31 am

I don’t have to do proper research on this, so for this story, I’ll just copy Jamey Newberg’s update on this one.. :)

The Rangers have announced the signing of 1B/DH Erubiel Durazo to a non-roster deal with an invite to big league camp. Durazo had Tommy John surgery in July, but when healthy, the 31-year-old can be one of the more productive left-handed bats in the league.

Juan Gonzalez to the Cubs?

Posted by Joe Siegler on February 21, 2006 at 12:24 am

Read something pretty amusing tonight. The Cubs are interested in Juan Gonzalez apparently. According to this link I saw tonight, the White Sox & the Red Sox are also interested in him.
Cubs – Juando in the National League where he can’t hide behind the DH? I find it hard to believe anyone would take a flyer on him now. If he comes back and hits 40 home runs and drives in 125, I’ll say I’m wrong, but I really don’t think I will be wrong on that.

Today’s the day!

Posted by Joe Siegler on February 21, 2006 at 12:20 am

Today’s the day! The first full squad workout is today. Things are good. :)
Hopefully Newy Scruggs will give baseball more than a passing mention. I used to think that Dale Hanson was the local sports guy who hated covering baseball the most. I remove that opinion. Newy Scruggs would rather it be Cowboys 365 days a year, I imagine.

Uh-oh. Rudy Jaramillo has Cancer

Posted by Joe Siegler on February 18, 2006 at 3:06 am

That’s not good. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Just saw a story about it on the Rangers site. From the article it doesn’t appear that a lot is known about what’s gong to happen, except it was “caught early”, and there are “hopes of a full recovery”.
Still, “cancer” is a very ugly word. VERY – I have that word in my family, and I don’t like it.
The article talks about Rudy hopefully coming back in time for opening day. Boy, if he is there on opening day, whether he’s “suited up”, or just shows up, bet your ass he’s going to get some insane applause. Even if he’s not there, I wonder if Chuck Morgan will announce his name anyway – Chuck, you reading this? :)
All joking aside, I’ll pray for Rudy, and hope this scourge goes away from him quickly. Anyone remember what kind of cancer Andres Galarraga had? I can’t remember right now. Was it the same?
Update: The Ft Worth Star Telegram’s coverage is online now for Saturday. They also have an article about Jaramillo and cancer here. I like what Jim Reeves said in this article about being afraid for the cancer, as Rudy is determined to beat it. Cancer isn’t funny, but this line was. :)

Akinori Otsuka

Posted by Joe Siegler on February 17, 2006 at 9:28 pm

There’s a really great article in Saturday’s Dallas Morning News about our new setup guy, Akinori Otsuka by Kevin Blackstone. Kevin writes really glowingly about Aki (the Rangers players’ nickname for him). Here’s a few quotes from it..

“He asked how I was, asked how the family was doing,” pitcher Brian Shouse said with surprise of Otsuka. “And I was over there [Japan], what, eight years ago? He’s awesome.
Indeed, what so impressed so many at Rangers Camp 2006 was that Otsuka bothered to be here at all right now. His country’s team was scheduled to start gathering in Japan this weekend, so it didn’t seem to make much sense for Otsuka to come to Arizona for a couple of days. Daniels and Showalter all but expected him not to be here and were understanding of the reason. They learned a little something about him this week.
“To show respect and get along with the team,” Otsuka explained with a little help from his interpreter when asked why he came to Surprise at all. “I have to know the situation, the fundamentals.”

That’s really nice to hear, but what I didn’t realize is how popular he is in Japan. Blackstone refers to Japanese baseball players in popluarity as Ichiro, Hideki Matsui, and Otsuka. I didn’t realize was that popular, I just assumed he was “another Japanese baseball player”. Seems like a big mistake on my part.
I know everyone who reads my site probably also reads the DMN, but just in case, you should check this article out. It’s going to make you want to see this guy pitch now. It did for me. :)
Update: The Ft Worth Star Telegram also has an article about Otsuka-san online. You can read that here.

About Site

This is a Texas Rangers fan site run by Joe Siegler. From 1999 through 2013 I used to do daily game updates, but got burnt out on that and stopped.

The site lives on as my favorite section to update I’m still very interested in. That is the Uniform Number history pages, which I’m quite proud of. Plus Ill write the odd article here and there.

I mostly spend my time in this Facebook group talking about the Rangers these days.

If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a line.
