Gray has a 3.83 ERA and is averaging a career-high 10.1 strikeouts per nine innings, but he's currently on the injured list with a strained oblique. Seager leads the team with 26 homers and was named to the American League All-Star team.
YOUNG SLASH FULL
Seager and Gray have played well this season, though maybe not up to the full potential based on the deals they signed. And that's part of the process for us identifying the right people to help turn this organization around.” "We knew the answer with these players before we asked the question. 'Does this scare you? Do you want to be part of this? Do you want to do something special that's never been done in Texas Ranger history?' But we have a vision, we have a plan and this is how we're going to accomplish it. "We've been very transparent," Young told reporters in December when the Rangers introduced their free-agent signings. They finished with a sub-.400 winning percentage in each of the previous two seasons, including a 60-102 record in 2021. The only other option at centre-back is Idehen’s Under-23 colleague Ryley Towler who is also attracting significant attention from clubs wishing to take him on loan but, at present, City are holding onto the 20-year-old.įormer Cardiff City and Middlesbrough centre-back Sol Bamba is also training with the club for the next two weeks but Pearson has indicated that’s as much to help the 37-year-old get fit, as it is a means for bringing him in on a contract.It seemed like a sound strategy to accelerate the franchise's return to postseason contention. Tomas Kalas remains sidelined with knee problems and although the Czech Republic international has trained this month, Pearson didn’t offer any indication as to when he might be back in first-team action.
YOUNG SLASH PLUS
Simpson’s comments over the number of centre-backs at City is an interesting one given that, at present, Nigel Pearson only has four fit senior central defenders in current starting trio Kal Naismith, Rob Atkinson and Zak Vyner, plus Timm Klose who came on as a substitute against Luton Town. That's in terms of character and ability, and I'm delighted that we've got him with us." "We've had him watched this season just to confirm our thinking and, like I say, he fits the profile of what we want here. He came to Bristol after I'd left, but I knew about him and I've spoken to the staff who I was with and they've given him rave reviews. "I was aware of him last season, but he's not one I've worked with before. They've got players back from injury and a decent number of centre-backs, so he's gone back to U23s down there. "He's had appearances in the Championship and he was part of their squad during pre-season. He's confident on the ball and I'm delighted that Bristol City have agreed to let him come to us. "He's a good size, he loves defending and he has a bit of pace about him. “I'm looking forward to getting him working with us and to getting him integrated into the group, and I'm sure he's going to be another really good addition to our squad. “Ideally we wanted a left-sided player and Duncan certainly fits that profile,” Simpson said. Cardiff City face anxious injury wait over status of key man for derby clash with Bristol City.Bristol City's one-hit wonder Tommy Conway is loving living with Alex Scott despite the rivalry.Carlisle have started their campaign with a win and two draws. Simpson left Ashton Gate in October last year which meant he didn’t get the chance to work directly with Idehen but has done his homework into what the defender will bring to the side. He notably wasn’t involved in the Young Robins 4-2 win over Hull City on Tuesday, paving the way for his move to the north west. Idehen, who signed a new two-year City contract in May, has moved to Brunton Park until January and is in contention to make his debut against Stevenage in League Two this weekend with former Robins coach Simpson searching for a left-sided player.Ĭity signed Idehen in January following his release by Grimsby Town, and he made his Robins debut towards the end of last season with substitute appearances against Derby County and Huddersfield Town, but has since been moved back to the Under-21 set-up. Carlisle United manager Paul Simpson is delighted to have signed young Bristol City centre-back Duncan Idehen on loan until January after receiving rave reviews of the 20-year-old from Robins staff.
