    Mayan, I'm pretty sure Opie could kick your ass with two arms tied behind his back.

    He is the Great White Hope.

    Talk in Dallas sounds like it's a done deal. No details of the trade though.

    Choo appears to be out.

    Thank God. I just looked up his stats, he appears to be another guy that dropped off the cliff after getting paid.

    That's why no matter what he has to play nobody going to bench a guy making that much money a.k.a. Alex Rodriguez

    LoL @ Rangers. I'm sure Opie will spin this as a genius low budget move for a guy who can't stay clean or healthy. Sounds like a great plan.

    Astros > Rangers

    Sounds like the Angels are going to get paid $15 million to have Hamilton taken off their hands.

    Probably a good deal for Texas. Little risk, with some potential upside.

    Wasn't it Hamilton that threw a ball to a fan and the guy fell over the railing trying to catch it and fell to his death?

    yeah, good deal for Texas.. $15M over 3 years is nothing in baseball terms. heck, it's $5M less than they're paying for Choo each year.

    that said, injuries will continue being a factor since his body is so susceptible to breaking down.

    though as long as he doesn't get suspended again, he should be relatively serviceable and help sell some tickets.
