3 years agoAfter being demoted to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Texas Rangers outfielder Willie Calhoun said he wants to be traded. "(I'm) gonna go to Triple-A and put myself in a position to get traded," Calhoun said. "I do want to be traded." Calhoun hit the ball hard early on, but he has a .136 batting average to show for it. The 27-year-old has been up and down from the majors and minors since his debut in 2017, and injuries have also slowed him down along the way. "I don't agree with some of the hitting philosophies from the new guys," Calhoun said. "I don't process that (information) too well. I'm not 6-foot-4, 230 pounds; I can't hit pop-up home runs. I don't have that leverage." A healthy Calhoun can still be successful in the big leagues, but at this point, that probably won't be in Texas.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
