As is usually the case, you gotta give up something good to get something good. I'm fine with the trade, Rangers will probably have a good chance to re-sign Hamels.

I'm fine with the trade as well....But the resigning of Hamels I'm not so sure about.

Hamels will be 33/34 in 2019 when he could be gone. And, he's got over 2100 innings on that arm already.

PS to my previous post........this is a very refreshing and positive attitude to have about it all.

My thought process was that he's getting up there in age, he probably has a family by now and I know he wanted to get traded here. It's probably not about the money for him anymore, I bet he would take a Beltre type deal.

I'm all for the prospects the Rangers trade away, doing well in MLB. Makes teams want to deal with us more.

Its better than the prospects doing horrible -- that's for sure.

As long as we get value in return, I'm all for it.

I like the idea of a Rua / Mitch platoon

Rather see Prince sit.

Wow. Rangers owner Bob Simpson would like to see Art Briles return as Baylor's football coach. Unfucking believable. I just lost a ton of respect for that man.

I'm gonna make a suggestion. If anyone wants to talk about college athletics, open another thread.

It's Rangers related as Simpson is co-owner. It's disgusting.

Never would have guessed that in a million years.

Perhaps the lame logic should apply to Prince every once in a while

I think Nick may get the next start for Yu

I'd be interested to see how his new found swing and miss pitches translate to the bigs.
