    Adrian Beltre, who was set to become a free agent at the end of this season, agreed to a two-year contract extension with the Rangers on Friday.

      Solid at third, going to hit around .300 15 homers, probably have 2 DL stints. Gallo is a strikeout machine but also has incredible power, guy just hit 2 homeruns in a game for Round Rock. Defensively it would be a downgrade so I'm happy the Rangers/Beltre decided to keep him around at 3rd. Atlanta without Chipper is just not the same and Rangers will miss him when he goes so I'm happy they worked this out. Watch Beltre just pack it in now that he has the deal though


      The farm system is loaded with bats and Texas "should" be able to make moves if needed this year. The biggest hurt is losing Maddux to the Nats....Daniels played games with him from what I read and lowballed the guy and now we are stuck with a rookie pitching coach Doug Broccoli from double A because he's on the cheap. Bats need to stay alive and continue leading baseball in double plays or it could get ugly. I want bullpen arms personally and preseason I wanted a veteran catcher to keep consistency behind the plate but Lucroy and Norris asking price was apparently too high.

                  Beltre top 5 3rd baseman all time.

                  Gallo will be either switching positions for the short term, or could be used to bolster big trade.

                      Brooks Robinson

                      Chipper Jones

                      Beltre is good but he's not even in the same book as these guys

                        Ok dumbfukk...name me 5 better than Beltre all time. All around game.

                        Brooks, Schmidt, Matthews, Brett, Beltre, Boggs are my top 6. Basically in any order.

                        If you name any others currently playing, please know you'll be incessantly laughed at.

                          The dumbfuk comments are hilarious. You said top 5 not top 6. I didn't even throw Matthews into the pot so you meant top 10?

                                Resulting to calling out grammar mistakes on a Gambling forum is a result of someone who doesn't know what the Fuk their talking about. I didn't know we were grading papers in here. Good look Dopie.

                                                Wilhelmsen's velocity is down which is why he is struggling... he was hitting upper 90s with the Mariners but didn't even top 94 MPH last night

                                                      I'm not sure where I'd rank Beltre all time but certainly #1 in here in Arlington and like I said its good news for them to keep him here a little longer. He is solid as it comes at third and while he doesn't walk much he doesn't strikeout all that much either. He gets his moneys worth at the plate and in clutch situations he's the who I want to see at the plate still regardless. He is aging though and eventually that left side is going to have to be replaced...I don't love 2 million more per year but I understand it.

                                                      The problems the Rangers have are good ones as far as position players. Interesting info on Willhelmsen Frogger, personally I don't like him in any leverage situations...5-3 last night...ugh frustrating. The entire rotation hasn't pitched all that bad...hell AJ Griffin who looked decent in spring has surprised me a bit.

                                                          He's at Round Rock with Gallo and hitting around 300 last I checked. Odor basically stole the spot away after he got hurt a few years back. Ron Washington platooned Odor and Sardinas at 2b for a while and they stuck with Odor and shipped Sardinas to Milwaukee and now hes with Seattle. Gives us amazing depth, Profar can play SS also I believe? and they got Alberto that can play 3rd and SS.

                                                            Well, actually, if you are a big enough douche to actually go thru and search out guys you don't even know and check out their vids...then yes, that is quite mind blowing.
