Another one of my fantabulous surveys :)?

Okay... Lol I'm just kidding, it might not be a fantabulous survey... But at least it's not about Youk and Porcello.

1. Is your team contending? Why or why not? If not, are they rebuilding?

2. Is your team an older or younger team?

3. Does your team have a good farm system?

4. What prospect are you excited about?

5. If you don't know any prospects... What about your team excites you for the upcoming seasons? Is there a new ballpark in the works? Something else?

6. On a scale of 1-10, rate yourself as a fan, 1 being "I watch a few games a year" and 10 being "I know the lineup up and down and could manage the team for a week or so... And I have all the jerseys, bobbleheads, and collectibles... And I send the players cookies on their birthdays".

7. How do you rate your GM? From 1-10, same idea.

8. And your manager? 1-10

Thanks for taking this survey. :)

Update:

1. Is your team contending? Why or why not? If not, are they rebuilding?

~ The Rangers are, the O's aren't. The O's are rebuilding.

2. Is your team an older or younger team?

~ I'd say the O's are a younger one. And the Rangers are heading to be a young team. They've a couple of veterans like Young and Millwood.

3. Does your team have a good farm system?

~ The Rangers do. The O's have an all right one.

Update 2:

4. What prospect are you excited about?

~Well... I WAS excited about Neftali Feliz... But he just got called up to the bigs. Lol. He's a pitcher that throws 100 fairly consistently.

5. If you don't know any prospects... What about your team excites you for the upcoming seasons? Is there a new ballpark in the works? Something else?

~ For the Rangers: Great young pitchers, potentially explosive offense... What's NOT to be excited for? The O's are rebuilding. We'll see

6. On a scale of 1-10, rate yourself as a fan, 1 being "I watch a few games a year" and 10 being "I know the lineup up and down and could manage the team for a week or so... And I have all the jerseys, bobbleheads, and collectibles... And I send the players cookies on their birthdays".

~ About a 7/8. I don't bake cookies lol.

7. How do you rate your GM? From 1-10, same idea.

~7. As much as I complain about JD, so far the trades have been in our favor. Who needs Tex?

8. And your manager? 1-10

~ 7. 2nd in WC :)

Update 3:

G-Q-smooth:

You're telling me you've never made mistakes in your life...

Ever heard of second chances?

I am fully support Josh Hamilton and will continue to do so. Let the past stay in the past and let's focus on the present and future.

Update 4:

Rangers: Should have known you'd have my back... And Josh's lol

Update 5:

Sparkycat: I'm sorry! I didn't mean to give you a thumbs down lol... I was aiming for the thumbs up button but I missed lmao.

Rangers: Haha, we TOTALLY got Josh's back! I should email the booth with this link lol.

    1) I think so. :)

    2) I think it's mixed actually... we have young guys but we have a few who are at or near 30.

    3) I think so. :]

    4) Justin Smoak

    5) Neftali excites me. :]

    6) 100 lol jk :)

    7) 7

    8) 8..he's made a few questionable calls but good mostly. :)

    To the genius (sarcasm) above: If your not gonna answer the question, take a hike. There's no need for you to be rude and judge someone who you've never even met, especially if your listening to the stupid bullcrap which is ESPN. I hope your hands are clean, cause God is gonna judge you just like your doing Hamilton.

    edit: When don't I have your back, let alone my team? This right here is why you & I are some of the best Ranger fans. We've accepted Josh with open arms and accept him for what he's done and support him. :]'

    edit: Lol, I TU the last guy for you. I always feel bad when I do that.

    1. Yes, the Rockies are leading the NL Wild Card because of solid play both defensively and offensively.

    2. They're a younger team. They're average age is 27 years old.

    3. Yes, without our farm system, we wouldn't even have a team. Lol They rarely make trades for anyone big.

    4. Eric Young Jr. (.307 BA, 107 R, 55 SB in Triple A)

    Christian Friedrich (3-0 with a 1.32 ERA, 54.2 IP, 70 K's, 0.95 WHIP in Single A)

    5. Umm besides prospects, just seeing the team round out and become more solid with experience.

    6. 9 - Well I know the lineup and could manage them for a week or so and I watch as many games as possible, but I don't have all of the collectibles, some but not all.

    7. 7 - Well he doesn't really let our big talent get away (except for Holliday), but he doesn't really bring in players that might be needed.

    8. Clint Hurdle - 3 but he's gone. Since Jim Tracy has taken over I'd give him a 10.

  • 1 decade ago

    1. Yep. The NL east is weak and the Phils have a decent pitching staff and a good-hitting lineup.

    2. It's fairly mixed, mostly young.

    3. Absolutely yes. We're talking the farm system that produced J Roll, Utley, Victorino, and Hamels.

    4. I am EXTREMELY excited about Michael Brown. He's supposedly a 5-tool player that's going to make a name for himself.

    5. Not really.

    6. 8. I watch the games religiously, follow the minor league system, know all the good prospects, etc.

    7. Ruben Amaro Jr. gets a 7, he's doing pretty well.

    8. Charlie also gets an 8. He knows what he's doing.

    I'll go with the Yankees...

    1)Yeah The Yankees are Contending and they are slightly rebuilding

    2)Slightly an older team because of some players that have played for a long time(Jeter,Posada,Rivera)

    3)I'd say its so-so for the Yankees

    4)Austin Jackson

    5)Well the Yankees are building a good team that should hold for a few years

    6)hmmm Id say a 9 cause I share watching yankees games with watching mets games with watching a whole load of other teams games!

    7)Mr. Cashman hmm... 8 1/2

    8)Joe I give him a 5 because hes not that good of a manager BUT I like how he sticks up and handles his team!

  • 1 decade ago

    1. No they aren't really. And yes this year was going to be our rebuilding year. I don't care if people admit it or not, but they were wrong about the Mariners. Everyone talked about how bad they were and how they were going to be in last place. well look where we are now! :)

    2. We have a little bit of both. More younger now

    3. Yes I think so

    4. Uh, i don't really know yet :/

    5. I think we will be serious contenders next year or year after

    6. 9. I have never sent cookies to them. hahaha :)

    7. 9.

    8. 10! Look at what he had done for us this year. complete 360. he should get manager of the year.

  • 1 decade ago
