這篇是在說我們本想網羅工具人Loretta，加強內野的深度～～並取代Mark DeRosa留下的空缺～～但實際上找Loretta他上場的機會應該不多～這原因應該是想要加強三壘Blalock那邊～～新教頭預備讓HANK每天上場假設他健康OK～據報導Loretta應該是去太空人～～最後也提到還在跟Mark Mulder努力中～～大概要下星期才會有結果囉～～希望是好消息～～ ARLINGTON -- The Rangers have made an offer to utility infielder Mark Loretta, but they have been told that he will sign somewhere else. Texas is looking for a utility infielder to replace Mark DeRosa, but the club doesn't have a lot of playing time to offer. Both shortstop Michael Young and first baseman Mark Teixeira played in 162 games last year. The Rangers are looking at depth behind third baseman Hank Blalock, who is coming off shoulder surgery. But manager Ron Washington said he is planning on playing Blalock every day at third base if he is healthy, rather than sitting him against some left-handed pitchers. "That's what Hank needs," Washington said last month. "I don't want Hank coming around thinking, looking over his shoulder and wondering if he's going to play tomorrow. He's too talented for that." Loretta was an All-Star for the San Diego Padres in 2004 and again for the Boston Red Sox in 2006, when he batted .285 in 155 games and 635 at-bats. He batted .335 with 108 runs scored in 2004 for the Padres. The Rangers were told that Loretta was going to sign with another team that would give him more playing time. Right now, Drew Meyer is the leading candidate on the 40-man roster to be the Rangers' utility infielder. Joaquin Arias is expected to play shortstop every day at Triple-A Oklahoma. The Rangers continue to have discussions with free-agent pitcher Mark Mulder, but they don't expect a resolution to that situation until next week. Mulder is trying to decide between the Rangers, St. Louis Cardinals and Cleveland Indians. -- 2007- Rangers,Spurs and Wizards GoGoGo !!!!! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 70.255.168.17
