The Rangers claimed to have enough money for Fielder and now they can’t afford Mike “The Rattler” Gonzalez? What?
stl_cards16
I believe they said they are operating at a loss until their new TV deal kicks in. I don’t think Fielder to the Rangers was ever much more than media speculation.
Mason Carroll
When a player’s agent is Scott Boras…there’s no telling if you have the money for him or not.

I always called him “shaky”, but “The Rattler” is pretty funny and fitting also for his mound setup.
He can be a devastating setup guy though and actually could be worthwhile for a team like Texas with a good 1-4 already. It does make some sense for them if you think about it.

The Mariners should keep playing Casper Wells, he seems like a pretty cool dude.
seanb1223
His coolness should be a factor in his playing time? Is that the new saber metric stat I’ve been searching for? Henry Winkler must have given up what would have been a hall-of-fame career.

The attractiveness of a player factors in. You think 2009 Guti was valuable because of his defense? Please. He is a CutieGuti. Carp and Wells on the otherhand. Straight grenade platoon.
seanb1223
I’ve never seen that stat either. Just because Moneyball says a players attractiveness factors in doesn’t mean it’s true. See Randy Johnson. See Alexi Ogando. See Otis Nixon.
Dan Mazzaro
don’t forget Marquis Grissom

I almost choked on my dinner after reading “CutieGuti”. Nicely done.
Wes Whitenack
Batman Pajamas!!!

Does anyone else need further proof of how cool Casper Wells is?
Ian_Smell
My God, his coolness just shot up tenfold.

Unknown fact: Cesar Jimenez is actually a right hander.
Another fact: Mike Carp hates carps and carpets.
Proof?
Rabbitov
I thought you were gonna prove the Carp hates carpets part, what a disappointment.
John W
Isn’t Carp the starting LF, and Jimenez a end of the bullpen guy? If someone needs to go this seems like a no-brainer to me.
pennypincher
Of course. You can never have enough bullpen arms 🙂

Of course Heyman is hearing raves. The New York media historically overrates Yankees prospects, and the front office and organization would never speak ill of their own property.
Good job Heyman, but you can’t fool me.
Jonathan Gallo
Gammons is the patron saint of overrating prospects.
roomwithamoose
So the Yankees can’t develop prospects at all according to your statement, because if you hear one good thing about them it means that they’re being overrated? seriously you can say let us see him repeat that production which is fair, but to instantly say overrated is just not fair. Anyway it says that the M’s brought his name up which also means they liked what they saw, if the Yankees brought his name up saying Willie Mays looks like Coco Crisp compared to this guys potential then you can say he is overrated
nestleraisinets
you do know that some talents the yankees traded away during the recent years are doing well with their new teams
pitnick
But can he play Classical Gas??
Brandon Smith
I’d really like to see the Rangers dump Uehara and pick up Gonzalez. They really need a lefty and he’s pretty good.

Really hope Morales gets 110% healthy and when he comes back gives the Angels MVP type numbers again..Would be awesome to see Pujols,Morales hit back to back! LETS GO HALOS!
