Hearing that Fighters have definitely decided to accept Darvish bid...but official announcement may not come for 3-4 more hours

Wonder what the hold up is. Got to wonder if the writers aren't just speculating to keep people interested, or if there's some truth to it.

I was already disappointed when I heard the Blue Jays probably won. Now with this I'm going to have to be disappointed when I hear that the Blue Jays actually won.

Thanks sportswriters.

What the hell??? I spent most of the day in a cold induced coma only to awake and find speculation that JD and the Rangers may have played a masterful bit of poker in the Darvish game. I'm not quite ready to believe it though.

For what it's worth, Ben Rogers of the Ben and Skin show has tweeted that the Rangers are about to win the Yu sweepstakes.

Wonder how he would know. I hope he's right.

I'm just hoping he isnt a bust.....

Wonder who becomes trade bait now... (assuming the Rangers agree to terms with him)

I can't see anyone being trade bait. The Rangers probably move Ogando to the 8th inning for good unless he comes out of nowhere with a reliable 2nd and 3rd pitch this spring.

 

[bone3421]

yeah i would guess they move ogando to pen and roll with holland,yu,harrison,feliz,feldman,lewis

 

[Brother Mouzone]

I just needed something to be excited about after the Angels' offseason moves.

Hope this works out.

 

[jta4437]

I don't think anyone becomes trade bait, Feldman and Ogando just shift to the bullpen and then the rotation if anyone falters or if Feliz starts in AAA

Adams will most likely be the 8th inning guy

 

[dmc0015]

Bottom line is that Darvish was always who they wanted, and he has a far higher upside than CJ. The only thing that went wrong was CJ not going to the NL and even worse going to Anaheim. The Rangers just upgraded their rotation over last year though, and then some.

Can you really count them out on Fielder either? I don't think they will go 8 years for him, but they might not have to. 5 years might get him in Arlington.

 

[dmc0015]

Adams will most likely be the 8th inning guy

True. I can live with Ogando in the 7th

 

[jta4437]

You have to think Nathan, Adams, Ogando and Feldman are locks for the backend bullpen and longmen with Uehara, Tatyama, Oliver (FA), Gonzlaez (FA), Lowe and Hamburger other options for the bullpen's last 4 or 5 spots

My bet is Uehara, Oliver and Lowe with a maybe on Gonzlaez if we go with a 13 man staff

Sweet news! Go Rangers! Can't wait to see what this guy can do against big league hitters.
