If Vlad keeps it up, I could actually see that being one of the few mutual options that’s exercised. He’s proving to be very valuable to Texas, and yet I’m not sure anyone else would be willing to give that kind of money to a DH…

Vlad’s option is a tricky one. I could see it being exercised because IS so valuable to Texas, his slash line is good…but I think most of his value comes from the fact that he is hitting 900 OPS for Texas, and not against Texas

Agree with TwinsVet in that if Vlad hit close to his career averages (which I think he’ll do) than his option will be exercised IMO. I think Harden will be dumped unless he somehow emerges as the ace they hoped he could be.
I also think that Greenburg (assuming he has control of the team by 2011, lol) will want to make a big name sign if at all possible, assuming he hasn’t already gotten a big name at the deadline if the Rangers are in contention. Nonetheless, I expect the Rangers to spend some pretty good cash this winter outside of the raises due to a few current Rangers.
