  • Report: Blalock ready to return

    FORT WORTH, TEXAS (TICKER) —Hank Blalock is finally ready to return to the Texas Rangers.

    Blalock will join the team in Minnesota and be activated on Friday, according to a report in Thursday’s Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

    Now a first baseman, Blalock, 27, was placed on the disabled list April 29 with a torn left hamstring. He was close to returning earlier this season but developed carpal tunnel syndrome in his wrist while rehabbing his original injury.

    However, after going 2-for-7 with an RBI in three games with Class AA Frisco of the Texas League, Blalock appears healthy.

    “I made sure before I decided to come back that my hand was ready and I wasn’t having any problems,” said Blalock, who posted a .299 batting average with three home runs and seven RBI in 22 games at third base before tearing his hamstring.

    OH AND BY THE WAY, WE STILL NEED SOME PITCHIN'

            I heard an interview early last week on local radio with Chris Davis. He did his best to not sound pissed off that Blalock would be coming back in a few weeks and try to make the best of a being rotational player.

              If only he could pitch too!
              You can't always get what you want, but if you try some time, you might find, you get what you need.

                  don't get me wrong - I luv Blalock - but we could a good starter out of the deal,

                  SEE YA HANK!!!!

                        Yea the Rangers would be in really good shape if they can get some pitching for him. I wish you could send him to DC but I don't know if the Rangers would want any of the fantastic Nats pitching!

                          sorry but we already have 'bout the same staff as you.

                          I MEAN HONESTLY--- we come out of the Break and fire out there MILLWOOD.
                          That's the best we got ???

                          Millwood????

                          "The Rangers will counter with Kevin Millwood (6-5, 5.11), who hasn't made it through the sixth inning in any of his last four stars. The veteran right-hander pitched 5 1-3 innings on Saturday against the White Sox, allowing five runs, 10 hits and four walks, while failing to earn a decision in a 9-7 loss.

                          Millwood is 0-5 with a 5.86 ERA in nine career starts against the Twins - the only AL club he has never defeated other than the Rangers. "

                          6-5, 5.11???

                          WTF???

                            He sucks!! He is being paid like an Ace but pitches like a 4th or 5th starter.
