The OFFICIAL Texas Rangers thread

[mstng86]

yanks are offering Lee 115-120 million for 5 years.

That is a pretty large amount for a 32 year old pitcher. Especially one that pitches deep into most games. I dunno, I am not sure he is worth it to the Rangers.

Wow i called that with Greinke a month or so ago. I would love to see that trade. Actually, the more i think about it the more i am beginning to think giving Lee a huge contract might be a mistake. Word is the Yankees are looking at 6 or 7 years at 160 million and the Rangers are looking at 5 and about 110 million. If it's true, i say let the Yankees have him. His career stats don't justify that kind of money. I mean he is basically going to triple Roy Halladays contract

damn, think of this rotation if cliff lee is re-signed and the trade for Greinke goes through:

1. Lee
2. Greinke
3. CJ Wilson
4. Lewis
5. Hunter

Hurley is healthy and is lights out so far, he could finally be the impact player they expected when drafted. Sheppers will be great in spring training and you can't discount the possiblity of Feliz and Ogando making the rotation. They also have Omar Beltre if he gets his head out of his ass and pretty much a sure thing in Martin Perez.

Even without Lee or Greinke our pitching should be pretty good next season.

[Slowhand]

Not going to hold my breath on Lee, but Greinke would be great to have and it'd be nice to see them sign Victor Martinez as well.

Man, that would be awesome to get Greinke. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

looks like the rangers are looking to acquire Greinke.

My first post on new web site....


Damn Newbe ...

Congrate Feliz.. bout time the Rangers won some thing!.. Surprised Jeter didnt get a vote....

Still waiting for 2011... I have a feeling it will be no where close to 2010, but I hope it is wrong. Outside of winning the World Series... How can it better?

I hope that they give the hitting coach job to Johnny Narron. He is a close family friend and he knows his stuff. He was working along with Hurdle last year as well as being Josh's mentor/keeper.

Already being on the payroll will help but I'd hate for him to split his attention away from Hamilton.

Feliz took AL rookie of the year.

Fack Jeter and that Gold Glove. There is no way he deserved it.

I agree! Good to see Feliz earn the award, now to get Hamilton his MVP.

And Hurdle is gone...to coach the Pirates.

Saw that... wonder who we will bring in. I think Clint did some really good stuff for our players, I liked our approach (with the exception of Vlad) at the plate, and lots of players seemed to thrive under him.

Steal the Giants pitching staff? We are in dire need of a bullpen without a doubt. The Giants completely shut us down with their pitching, and Cliff Lee looked more like a human than a robot. That begs the question of, "How much is left and what is he worth?" If we lose Clint Hurdle, I still think we'll be okay. The fundamental principles are still there. I'm still depressed about the WS.

I was really disappointed in Holland for the most part.
