Payton has little regard for awards

Posted 04-27-2011 at 10:28 AM by neugey

Despite a surprising 26-24 record, the Rangers have received no awards thus far, and executive manager Riley Payton came forward with a few sarcastic comments on the topic:

"We win our share of games and we've got a pitcher Bosman who is 9-1 and gives up nary a run. We'd be toast without him and we know that. He doesn't need to have an award for us to feel good about him."

Still, the team is in a solid position to stay above .500. The team is hoping CF Cleo James, reportedly 100% now coming off a knee injury, will provide a spark for...

Seeking a left-handed starter, Rangers executive manager Riley Payton finalized a trade with the Red Sox. The deal sends Rangers OF Elliot Maddox, RP Al Fitzmorris and 2B Len Randle to the Red Sox for OF Ben Oglivie and SP John Curtis.

Says Payton of the deal, "We were reluctant to give up on Maddox because of his speed and defensive capabilities in center field, but we felt the time was right for this deal. We'll also miss Fitz and Randle. Unfortunately, you have to give...
