- Rangers expected to talk to
Mets about P Jon Niese and Dillon Gee
Mack - Texas has three lefty
relievers on their 40-man…
Scott Barnes – AAA: 25-G, 1-ST,
3.69, 1.20, 31.2-IP, 1.20
Alex Claudio – 15-G, 2.92, 1.46,
12.1-IP, 14-K
Robbie Ross Jr. – 27-G,
12-RP, 6.20, 1.70, 78.1-IP, 51-K
They have three shortstops…
Elvis Andres – 619-AB,
.263/.314/.333/647, 2-HR, 47-RBI
Luis Sardinas – 115-AB,
.261/.303/.313/616, 0-HR, 8-RBI
Guilder Rodriguez - 12-AB, .167/.231/.167/.397, 0-HR, 1-RBI
and they have four outfielders…
Jake Smolinski – 86-AB,
.349/.391/.512/903, 3-HR, 12-RBI
Leonys Martin – 533-AB,
.274/.325/.364/689, 7-HR, 40-RBI
Shin-Soo Choo –
.242/.340/.374/714, 13-HR, 40-RBI
Michael Choice – 253-AB,
.182/.250/.320/570, 9-HR, 36-RBI
Texas
seems short an outfielder and Sardinas doesn’t project out as a good
replacement for Wilmer Flores, so I would target the 6-3 Barnes, a graduate from St.
John’s University.

Although Barnes is more ML-ready, his numbers are not impressive at all.
Ross looks more promising with what he's accomplished and has had a cup of coffee in the majors already.
The jewel here is Claudio whose numbers are pretty eye-popping. He's not been above AA, but you could start him in AAA and see how he does then push him to the majors if he succeeds.
My assumption regarding Cludio was that Texas would hold on to their top lefty
Claudio looks great - terrific control, and young. If Mets have to do Gee plus a prospect pitcher, I'd consider that.
