Rangers 3B in 2002

[Xanadu Dragon]

Who do you think will get the most playing time there - if anyone - and why?

[gyb13]

Once TX realizes that the two-headed Perry/Lamb monster won't hit, enter Hank Blalock. Unless TX gets hot the first month or two and decides to stick with their 'proven veterans'

[Duque]

I'm going with Blalock too - and don't think XD's prediction of Blalock for ROY is that far off.

[sweaver]

I expect Blalock to take over by June, sooner if he has a big ST.

Of course, if the Rangers get off to a hot start with Lamb or Catallanato playing third, that sets the timetable back.

[gyb13]

I don't think they'll give Catalanotto much consideration for the 3B job. He's most likely slated for an OF/2B utility role, unless they unload Kapler or Mike Young goes bust early.

Just a gut feeling but I think Blalock is this yr's Pujols. This guy can flat out hit, and I'm taking him in my fantasy draft. Blalock at 3B, Texieria at 1B, and Palmeiro sliding over to Viagra errr DH in a couple of years will be sweet. Too bad they still won't have any pitching, and the Yankees will forever own their asses.
