Killer_Demo · 12-13-12, 03:44 PM

1st they sign gas-can now this tweaker...haha angels

tblues2005 · 12-13-12, 03:45 PM

They have a ton of offense and their pitching is still bad. I an shocked they didn't go after any pitching.

This guy replacing Hunter?

Guy can't catch pop ups, always has blow on his mind.

When was the last time the rangers won a World Series?

Might take u awhile to figure that out

I hope they have a meth out in that contract.

Rangers need to meet the Mets asking price on Dickey

I don't think Nolan is too big on paying big $ to 38 year old knucklers.

Rangers are stacked. Olt and Profar replace all that's gone.

ROFLcopter · 12-13-12, 04:11 PM

He makes 5 mill next year and is willing to sign on for only 2 more years for 10-12M, not really big money. Give the Mets Olt and Martin and it's a done deal

Uhhh what about Trout?

cloverfield · 12-13-12, 04:29 PM

Can't believe they signed Josh's brother John

It's going to be a war between John and Albert all year.

Now the question is where will Josh end up???

Smoke · 12-13-12, 04:31 PM

Rangers

Cowboys

Stars

SamDiamond · 12-13-12, 04:40 PM

I just saw this, wow---- 125 million/5 years.

That's a lot of cash, and a lot of risk.

I see bad karma coming his way. look at fat Albert josh owes everything to Texas for saving his career. wouldn't bother me at all if he left but him going to the angels is beyond so fvcked up.

Josh Hamilton doesn't owe the Texas Rangers anything...It was the Cincinnati Reds that gave Hamilton a chance and the Rangers simply traded for him. Also it wasn't a one way street...Rangers got a great talent for the cheap.

Big Angels fan here.

I'm not sure how I feel about this deal, need to absorb it. I guess it really comes down to if we can now trade some of our outfield surplus for some pitching.

This contract is a lot better than the one they gave to Pujols though, I'll tell you that.

not really impressed with either of these guys, profar will be good maybe, but he looks like a damn toothpick, and olt proved last year he is not ready for professional pitching

Weaver
Wilson
Tommy Hanson
Joe Blanton
Garrett Richardson

Frieri is still their closer (fkn lights out)
Downs still best set up man in the game hands down
they added Ryan Madson and Sean Burnett the nasty lefty from the Nationals

they actually cleaned up their bullpen quite well. ppl forget mike butcher is one of the best pitching coaches in the game. just look what he did with Frieri. dude was a mess with SD. they picked him up for a bag of balls than he went on an absolute tear. granted he ran out of gas at the end.

WvGambler · 12-13-12, 07:14 PM

Brock,

It's Josh Hamilton. C'mon guy......get a clue

Exactly. Pujols and Hamilton are 2nd and 3rd best players on that team.

clearly afraid of the astros
