5yr/$75 million....

 

[romeo212000]

Surely the Rangers were willing to do that. It must've been wanting to pitch in Cali that drew him.

hey nolan and FO you see that....thats what we call sitting on your hands and doing jackshit while your competition comes and takes your place!!!! anytime you wanna get something done and keep making the play-offs go ahead.....come on fielder and hope darvish isnt a bum if we get him

 

[Xx srs bsns xX]

4 for $60......... 5 for $75....

its only 1 additional year @ $15 million....

idk...

 

[bone3421]

i saw a tweet earlier today that said rangers didnt even offer him a deal...not one formal offer

Like I said maybe CJ really wanted to pitch in Cali.

Hey JD and Nolan! Go get Darvish and Fielder.

 

[scotsman1948]

well now the Angels are far and away the favorite to win the West and we're sitting on our hands

Not far and away, but they're up there for sure.

 

[scotsman1948]

There's still the possibility of Shields. I'd be happy if they made that trade or signed Darvish, but I'm not going to be upset if neither happens.

where are you getting this info? TB has stated that Shields will not be traded. they are willing to listen to trade offers for Davis

 

[scotsman1948]

Not far and away, but they're up there for sure.

they now have the offense and the pitching

 

[bone3421]

rangers need to get darvish(hope he pans out),fielder(st. louis is going to be all over him now) or both......i wish they could have got prince before all this went down his price and demand just went up big time

 

[romeo212000]

they now have the offense and the pitching

They'll almost certainly have to move Santana now, and adding one bat (even if he is the best in baseball) does not mean their pathetic offense is now elite.

 

[scotsman1948]

You're talking about a guy who set a MLB record by being the losing pitcher in the AS game, LDS, LCS and WS.... all in one season.
And from the from what I just read the Rangers were 21-13 in Wilson's starts and 74-52 when the other 4 started. It may not be the end of the world...
No doubt they will miss CJ, but not having him doesn't guarantee a lack of success. Heck, didn't Seattle win 116 games after losing the best player in baseball even though he stayed in the division? Didn't Texas have a better record the year after Arod left? Projecting the future in the off season is at best, a crap shoot.

so forget what he gave us in the regular season and only go after pitchers/players who perform in the post-season. that kind of limits your pool of players that you can go after.


but now we'll just have to wait and see how we do from now thru ST and then what this team does in the regular season. as of right now our #1 pitcher is Holland who until last year struggled and couldn't pitch a whole season.

they are not planning on letting Santana go and the only thing their offense was missing was a thunder stick hitting 3rd and they've got that now

 

[scotsman1948]

I hope the FO doesn't take that attitude. That is EXACTLY how LAA was wrangled into the Wells contract last year.

so our #1 rival just got a whole better at our expense and you want to sit on your hands and do nothing.

 

[scotsman1948]

Nothing wrong with being TB like, Fordman. You'd be right more often than not.

yeah, we could be still looking up if we had followed TB's game plan

Good lord bud. No one is forgetting what he did in the season, but damn dude. You guys keep talking about our home grown ace. He's not a fucking ace for christs sake! He's a solid #2. I hate to lose him to the angels but a 5yr 77.5m contract is pretty steep. Let the angels continue their habit of giving out horrible contracts. Its what put them in the slump they're currently in.

For a few years this will make the west competitive but don't expect to see the angels run away with it. They're going to hate that pujols contract after a while.

 

[scotsman1948]

yup he is gone to angels.....5 years 75.....rangers didnt want to do that??

makes me wonder about the Rangers' commitment

 

[romeo212000]

No. They were missing more than one big stick. One bat doesn't make them world beaters. It makes them more competitive. The west will be a race now. Not owned by the angels.

Man. I bet ginger is pissed. Wonder if she called in sick today.
