Daniels On Sheets, El Duque, Trade Deadline

Rangers GM Jon Daniels answered questions in an online chat hosted by Richard Durrett of the Dallas Morning News. One thing becomes clear throughout the chat: Daniels will try to win this year:

• Ben Sheets isn't far enough along to be talking contract, but the Rangers are in touch with his agent.
• The Rangers could deal prospects away to improve their playoff chances this year, but Daniels doesn't suggest that's likely.  
• Tom Glavine is "probably not" a fit.  
• Orlando Hernandez could be ready for the majors by late July. 
• Daniels says signing Matt Purke and Tanner Scheppers before July 31st wouldn't make him more likely to part with other prospects in a deal.
• The Rangers talked with Luis Vizcaino before he signed with Cleveland.
• Could the Rangers pick up a big-time starter? Daniels says "we'll see."
