And why the hell would a rental like Greinke cost Olt AND Andrus??

This is over the top bogus readership nonsense

Well if you read any of Newbergs tweets he pretty much calls BS saying stuff like

Jamey Newberg ‏@NewbergReport

Twitter is a dangerous thing. Consume it with caution.

I have no idea what you just said, I have no concept of twitter except people can post what they're thinking as fast as they can type it

Jamey Newberg told everyone to watch what they hear and read on twitter to the Elvis thing. Then he told the person that tweeted the Elvis thing SIGH

Sounds about right... Newberg along with Joey Matches are about the only guys I truly trust when it comes to reporting things and cutting out the BS

Just found where it came from. That stupid 105.3 station will do anything for ratings to bad the station still sucks.

Richie Whitt ‏@richiewhitt

To clarify, we talked Andrus-Olt for Gallardo-Greinke on @1053RAGE as a juicy rumor, not a fact and certainly not breaking news. #Rangers

OT: Has anybody ever looked to see how many posts other teams on here get?

We're easily the 2nd most active ML board (23,000+) behind the SF Giants (66,000+)

In fact our Rangers/BoSox game thread has more posts in it than all but 8 teams have total

Would love for LAA to spend their talent to get Shields. He's 3-2 with a 4.11ERA against TEX in Arlington.

They get him they also pick up his $9MM and $12MM options for 2013 and 14. Think he's worth that money as a #4?

Exactly.

Also, most of us are approaching our 1yr anniversaries here...

Win what? The west? Yes. The ALCS? Maybe. The WS? No.

Well you can't say no, b/c anything is possible, but you certainly improve your odds with a front line pitcher

I'm saying Josh Johnson or stand pat myself... or Greinke as long as the price is representative of the fact that he's a hired gun

Have to remember who they have on the bench as well. "Standing pat" means they roll with what they have now. No upgrades....anywhere. :faint:

I'm not ready to see A. Gonzalez or B. Synder in a pinch hitting situation ala E. German last year.

Rotation wise, they might be ok. I would have felt better with Colby still being healthy (given his track record in the playoffs).

... so instead of AG or BS ... you'd go YT in that role?
