Rangers lose Moreland to ankle surgery

[fan_since79]

He'll be out at least three months. This is the second 1st baseman they've lost this year.

They're definitely going to sign Kendrys.

[Troll Daddy]

No Kendrys ... the white flag is up. Too many injuries to think about contending.

Raul Ibanez can stand at 1B

 

I smell a trade!

[fan_since79]

"With Moreland, the Rangers will have made 19 disabled list moves for the season. No other major-league club has made more than 12 DL moves."

Snake bit.

The Twins might have an issue with that.

[tdawg87]

Pujols + his entire contract for a C- prospect.

There isn't much there.

 

Unless you want Casey Kotchman or Youkilis.

 

Maybe Pena or Tracy!

We could trade them Cron for their top 10 prospects.

 

Not a top ten, their entire top ten.

The Rangers are having the kind of injury 'luck' the Angels have had in many, many past seasons.  Compared to seasons past, I'd consider this year's set of injuries to the Angels roster fairly mild.

seriously, did they run over a gypsies kid in the off season or something?

Yeah, like I said before..the Rangers are taking away every other teams injury excuses.

 

I've never seen such bad luck and it's not even July.

They fired Ryan. When the Angels let Ryan go as a free agent they never saw the playoffs for another two years. The Astros let Ryan go to the Rangers, they never saw the playoffs for 8 more years. With this is mind the Ryan curse grows at the power of three so the Rangers should be screwed for another 512 years.

^I like it blarg

Schadenfreude. 

[Inside Pitch]

Schadenfreude. 

 

That's pretty funny.  Wonder how that guy likes being on the other end of it for a change.

[tennischmp]

This reminds me, where are all the Ranger fans at?

[sneaky_flute]

Odor will probably be hitting the DL now. 

[Second Base]

The Rangers are learning what the Angels have learned firsthand for the past couple seasons, injuries take their toll, no matter what your depth is.

[sneaky_flute]

All teams suffer injuries but rarely to this extent.

^yeah. I dont have a ton of sympathy because weve had our own issues and I hope every ranger gets diarrhea for the rest of his life. That said, you guys have had horrible luck. And we know the feeling...it sucks

Completely agree.

With the diarrhea part.

The injury isn't as serious as originally reported.

@espn_durrett: #Rangers RT @Travis_L_Brown: Mitch Moreland to have ostrigonom bone removed from ankle, not full reconstruction. Could be back 3-4 weeks.
