Rangers’ Washington Made Mistake Pinch Hitting German in World Series Game 1 Loss
“That’s the way baseball goes.” That phrase has been uttered by Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington a million times in his career. It was never more true or more painful than Wednesday night when the Rangers lost Game 1 of the World Series to the St. Louis Cardinals.

Mighty Joe Is A Ranger
Texas claimed UT JOE INGLETT off waivers.
Not a bad pickup. At the plate, Inglett’s a lefthanded version of Esteban German, someone with good contact skills and patience but little power (safely ignore the short-sample, desert-fueled .516 slugging percentage he posted in Las Vegas). Unlike German, Inglett’s not eligible for arbitration, though their difference in salaries...

Rangers' aggression pays off in Game 2
He isn't a genius; that supposedly is the guy in the other dugout.
He might never be celebrated by George Will, Bill James and other baseball intellects.
Heck, he was the village idiot for using Esteban German as a pinch-hitter in Game 1 - a move that baffled most of us, but had Tony La Russa recalling German's days as a contact hitter with the Royals and thinking, "...

Cubs Sign German, Send Five to Minor League Camp
Apparently unhappy with what they've seen so far from Luis Rivas, the Cubs have signed 30-year old super-sub IF-OF Esteban German to a minor league contract, with an NRI to Spring Training. German was released by the Kansas City Royals last Friday.
In 388 MLB games (with OAK, TEX, and mostly KC), German has played 2B-3B-SS-LF-CF, and even has gone behind the plate on ocacasion...
