I think the big difference is we probably wouldn't have Choo. I still think the Fielder trade happens. If I remember right, the wanted Perez too.
I wonder if they would have traded Ian if they had let Profar go. If they still make the deal for Prince, you're probably right, the net difference is probably Upton/Choo.
The Rangers have caught some flak nationally for extending EA instead of letting the younger, cheaper Profar take over at SS. Andrus is looking pretty good right about now

Seriously though, having surgery for a possible rotator cuff tear. Maybe a little labral issue too. Probably take him till August to even think about playing baseball.

If you ask some, he's done for good including his baseball career.

But to most others he's out for the season with shoulder surgery.

Wait a minute.... Ephland? :spy:

I've always believed if surgery is the best option and will truly fix whatever is wrong then just do it. Profar will have wasted 2 full seasons because of the decisions of not having surgery. Deep down I just knew this would backfire and he'd be out for the season due to surgery. Thank God Odor showed great promise and we still have Elvis.

All that "wait-and-rehab-crap" is exactly that.

In case anyone hasn't figured it out already, I'm in the middle, and loving, it of Old School.

But here's something - which I can't back up with cold hard numbers - that I feel is true: Surgery is so much better today than it was even 10 years ago. And it was damn good then. This isn't 1988 when you had surgery and hoped you be able to brush your teeth for the rest of your life.

I don't understand let's rehab, take the cautious approach, at least for the most part. Fix the effing problem and let's move on please.

I'm still betting against Perez contributing this year unless we're out of it in September and want to get him a few starts. I'm not counting on Harrison till he is actually contributing.

Same here. Unfortunately, I feel Matty is done. He's such a nice guy from my my girl says. She's seen him a few times at Target with his family and she asked for an autograph.

I want him to be able to successfully rehab so bad. Just like Colby, he deserves it.

I will, I promise. Once the season starts I plan on being in here ripping every dumbass opinion you throw out.

It's already painfully obvious that you're outclassed here.
