Taking a page from the Mavs and signing some dude who was awesome 5 years ago.... Cuban fielded an entire team of All Stars out of their prime.... bust. I guess it was cool for autographs though.

I'm kind of hoping he's the next John Smoltz. He moved to the bullpen at 33 (same age as Lincecum) after missing a season and it worked out pretty well. He's a little crazy, has big game experience and apparently can throw mid 90s again.Originally posted by pHILSANITY07 View PostYea if it was 8 years ago.

That would be interesting if Lincecum could be in the bullpen or even a closer. Heck Mariano Rivera really didn't get guys with his fast ball. His cutter was the lethal pitch.Originally posted by BP View PostI'm kind of hoping he's the next John Smoltz.

Rangers just signed Julio Pablo Martinez.
The Rangers have reportedly inked Cuban center fielder Julio Pablo Martinez for the remaining $2.8 million in their international bonus pool.
He's immediately the #3 prospect in the franchise. It looks like we finally solved the center field problem for several years to come.

A double A prospect is #3? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wow our minor league system is poor.Originally posted by BP View PostRangers just signed Julio Pablo Martinez.

Baseball America ranks farm systems by players who should be MLB ready in the next two seasons so yeah by that standard it is pretty poor. Keep in mind that Gallo, Mazara and Odor are all fairly recent graduates of the farm system though. We have a lot of 18-21 year old talent in the system but not a lot of 22-24 year olds.Originally posted by pHILSANITY07 View PostA double A prospect is #3?

yes, we cashed our prospects out already. The only big time prospect we gave away was Brinson."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Yeah I think that one will sting for a while though. At least we got a South African pitcher for Jeffress when he went back to the Brewers (after going to jail).Originally posted by CJ View Postyes, we cashed our prospects out already. The only big time prospect we gave away was Brinson.
