Rangers 2013 !!

Looking at the numbers I don't mind the signing. The money is a surprise, but Choo has been a decent .300 hitter in the past 5 years.

I don't like the deal at all. Boras got his 7 years, but at least the price was lower than the initial ask. So now we have Fielder and Choo for what seems like forever. I'm just not impressed. (even though I like the Fielder deal for at least the next 3-4 years.

Not impressed.

Rangers sign Choo to a 7 year 130 million deal

Ross Wolf has opted out of his contract with Rangers in favor of playing ball in Korea.

We received the information for renewing our tickets for 2013. Prices went up to $20 per ticket from $17 (Lexus level). Parking passes went up to $12 from $10.

2014 the tickets went up a buck and parking is the same.

Then again he's probably an upgrade over a 41 year old Raul Ibanez.

Tough call.

So Prince will make up for his blunders? This team lost speed on bases by losing Ian and Kittenface.

Better than getting picked off base. Can't score when you're on the bench

Cruz apparently just turned down 5 years/$75 million form the Mariners. I don't know what they are smoking up there in Seattle, if it's anything like the Cano negotiations though Nellie is probably waiting for them to come back with a 6 year deal at $100 million.

That's a ton of cash for an injury prone 33 year old whose never had a 100 rbi season, and has below average defensive skills. Then again he's probably an upgrade over a 41 year old Raul Ibanez.

I hope he takes it, we'll get a draft pick and it'll take them out of the running for Choo.

They lost speed, but gained IQ points. Kinsler just got stupid on the bases. It's like his head wasn't in the game at times.

[SC457A]

Losing Kinsler made our baserunning better. How many times did he run into an out this year on the base paths?

...because he pitches for the Mariners.

We've had Hernandez's number if I can remember in the last few years. He's a solid pitcher, just never gets any run support

[Nash B.]

Hernandez and Cano, how can they be stopped!?!
