I've had high hopes for Alfaro, but word is his catching hasn't come along like hoped. I'm not sure how I'd feel about including him. So right now, supposedly Alfaro and Eickhoff are included. Who else? Hopefully not Williams.

Good job Colby.

Alfaro & Eickoff are officially part of the deal.

Let's say this Hamels deal does happen, and I'm very suspicious that all this isn't being put out there by philly. What does the rotation potentially look like out of spring training next year?

Hamels
Holland
Lewis
Perez
Chi chi/Thompson/Martinez/Asher all competing for a spot in ST

This isn't good enough IMO. Even with Darvish supposedly coming back in May, I don't feel like he can be counted on to produce until the second half of the season. It's nice to have 3 guys potentially competing for the fifth spot, none have proven they have staying power up to this point. IMO, we need to get a minimum of one more 3-4 type starter to even begin to feel comfortable with our rotation heading into next season. And don't even get me started on the bullpen.

I do not want Williams included. If the package includes those three Philly better be eating a bunch of salary.

Hamels to the Rangers!

That shouldn't be an out. The guy is trying not to roll his fucking ankle.

Nick Williams left tonight's game after one AB.

Lots of players being moved in both directions....its more than just Hamels. (TR)

Curious. Who else are Rangers getting?

I was really starting to like Williams more than Mazara. I'm just not real thrilled with this trade at this point.

This deal is getting worse and worse.

The High Desert game starts in 20 minutes. I sure hope Brinson is in the lineup.
