Hamels headed to Texas

I think the front office feels we are contenders this year.

sure seems so

maybe Gallardo can relax more now that he's staying and stop having ass starts.

If the trade deadline did unnerve him at this point in his career I wonder what a pennant race would do to him. I wonder if he will be unnerved while pitching for a contract. Then again he may just be pitching the way he has because that is part of who he is as a pitcher. He may just be a pitcher who will go through some very rough extended patches from time to time.

He kinda is pitching for a contract, so I hope it's just "who he is."

They've got an outside shot at a wild card spot this year, but I think these moves say the front office thinks we can contend next season.

It is more that the moves that weren't made make me think that the front office feels we are contenders. No selling whatsoever?

Because they expect to contend with many of the same pieces next year. They unloaded Harry, who obviously wasn't part of the plan. Only other pieces they might've sold would be Choo, Mitch, and Beltre. But Choo and Beltre's values are nill right now and they'll need Mitch if they expect to contend next season. If Choo gets dumped it will happen this winter. It was never gonna happen at the deadline.

He sold in the Hamels deal, lots of the prospects. Now Telis, not sure what the heck he is thinking

TRSullivan reporting that Hamels and Deikman to Texas, along with some cash. Texas sends Harrison, Alfaro, NWilliams, Jake Thompson, Alec Asher, and Jerak Eickhoff.

Sad to see Alfaro go. Been hearing how he is the future at C for years now. Oh well. Thompson hurts, but I'll trade our 4/5/6 and lowers for Cole Hamels any day. Sucks about Harry, but with his injuries I'm not too sad to see him go. I am surprised an NL team wanted him. Wonder if he is flipped back to the AL. Last thing I'd want is him swinging the bat every week.

The Rangers gave up too much talent.

Oh, Please tell me what all you know about the Rangers farm system.

Probably as much as you do.

I seriously doubt it.

Go ahead and dazzle us with your knowledge.

What do you wanna know. I've been on here long enough and conversing about this club long enough that these other guys will vouch for me. The few ranger posts you've made haven't been worth much.

I don't need any information from you and maybe you should just quit patting yourself on the back because you
might hurt yourself. On second thought please go ahead and keep doing it.

Get out of here, clown. You don't know shit so quit acting like you do.

Quit acting like an internet tough guy and try to explain to everyone why you think this deal was so great.

Calling you on your bs doesn't equal being an Internet tough guy. I'm sorry you're a shitty poster.

Second, read the fucking forum. It's been discussed and dissected at length.

You are entitled to your lame opinion and your take on this topic isn't what I would consider stellar.
