    Are you aware of the record of Daniels (Rangers)..pre Ryan days and then post Ryan days. Pure coincidence.

    Pre Ryan was a true tear down ...Ryan was there for the good..but again, just like Houston, he got there after the cake was baking. Again.I think Ryan was perfect for Texas at that time...and I am not going to say he did not help..but it was JD that built the formula..the trades and took them to Ryan not the other way around. Ryan signed off on them but that does not make him the baker.

    There is another Ryan. They both know business and baseball.

    I would credit Crane/Luhnow with the baseball moves, not so much Reid Ryan, but that’s just me.

    Reid Ryan has done some good things though, renovating Minute Maid Park, getting the Astros back on TV legitimately, etc.

    In JD's early years he was great at dumpster-diving and finding some nuggets he could flip for prospects (Kenny Lofton, Eric Gagne, Andruw Jones). Couldn't flip Sammy Sosa, but Sosa did produce while here. Wouldn't be sad to see him return to that mode during this period.

    JD absolutely fleeced Boston for Gagne, one of the worst trades (for Boston) ever ... Babe Ruth notwithstanding.

    Another plus for JD is, the prospects he's given up while in buy mode haven't lit the baseball world on fire elsewhere. Jorge Alfaro?

    That is what Doug Fister was brought in for..if Rangers play better he is a vet who can help...if things go south he is a vet that can be flipped..problem is he was never healthy this year.

    Both Kinsler and Moreland on the team many are picking to take the series. I sure hope so. Sorry Stros fans.

    The regular season heroes don’t typically get it done in October.... just ask the 2017 Dodgers....
