Player Notes

January 5, 2009
MLB.com reports that speculation surrounds whether the Texas Rangers will trade Hank Blalock for much needed pitching. Reportedly, the Giants, Angels, and Orioles are potential suitors for Blalock because of a need for a corner infielder.

Our View:Blalock's power numbers have dropped off significantly the last two seasons, primarily because of injury. After hitting 16 home runs and driving in 89 runs in 2006, Blalock has played in just 123 games the last two years, hitting 22 home runs in that span.

December 7, 2008
The Texas Rangers and San Francisco Giants have discussed a Hank Blalock for Jonathan Sancez deal, according to MLB.com.

Our View:The Rangers, as usual, are looking for pitching, and while the Giants have a number of quality arms, they are lacking in offense.

November 7, 2008
The Rangers exercised their option on Hank Blalock for $6.2 million on Friday, according to the Associated Press.

Our View:This move was expected, but should be a good one for the Rangers. Blalock comes relatively cheap for the production he can bring, even though he missed a lot of time in 2008. The Rangers don't intend to play him at third base next season. They will likely move him to first instead.

November 6, 2008
The Rangers are expected to exercise Hank Blalock's $6.2 million option for 2009, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Our View:The team does not intend to play him at third base, however. They are expected to talk to free agent Casey Blake, but will likely be out of their price range.

October 1, 2008
Hank Blalock's $6.2 million option in 2009 will "almost certainly" be picked up by the Rangers, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Our View:The team has 10 days after the World Series to either pick up the option or let him enter free agency. It is unlikely he will work at third base and Chris Davis is considered a superior fielder at first base. Blalock could serve as a DH, but Milton Bradley could occupy that position as well. After picking up the option, the Rangers could opt to trade him for pitching help.
