Fans hailed the signing of German Gonzalez today as the Texas Rangers reliever came to terms with the club.
Set to make $7,800,000 over the upcoming 2 years, Gonzalez signed primarily out of loyalty to the organization, thrilling the most diehard supporters who think there isn't much loyalty in a market driven by free agency.
This season German Gonzalez has made 36 relief appearances, saving 3. His record is 1-1 with 37 strikeouts in 50.2 innings and a 2.49 ERA. |
 | Wednesday, September 13th, 1995: Floyd Tags Rangers 5 Hits
Chicago (A) first baseman Cliff Floyd could do no wrong in today's 12-7 win over the Rangers as he collected 5 hits.
"In every one of his at-bats things were in his favor... he got hitter's counts," the skipper of the Rangers said to the press corps after the game.
Floyd agreed. "The key is getting ahead. Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit. You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready."
C. Floyd singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 5th, hit a two-run double in the 6th, singled in the 9th and flied out in the 9th.
So far this season Floyd is hitting .324 with 10 home runs, 76 RBIs and 104 runs scored. He has 181 hits in 558 at-bats and a .405 OBP.
