Wow, Jon Daniels is short. He’s like the Ken Rosenthal of GMs.
DippityDoo
I would think Volquez and Herra for Hamilton would be his biggest steal. He’s made some slick trades since becoming GM.

I’m actually surprised Daniels doesn’t get more heat for taking on Prince Fielder’s contract.

They’ll be crying about it in a few years when his salary keeps going up and his play gets worse
Bradley Maravalli
Actually, the Rangers get $6 million each year from 2016-2020 for Fielder. $18 million for a power hitting 1B like Fielder isn’t bad at all. Just a shame Fielder got hurt this year, but he wasn’t alone in rehab in Texas.
Charlie Burns
Probably people are waiting at least another year to start calling it a bad trade since they would hate to have egg all over their faces if Prince has a turnaround year (probably, since there is no way he can be as lost looking at the plate as he was this year) or if Kinsler carries over his last half of the season into 2015.

I had the same surgery and am so much stronger and better off now. It explains the couple of years before as well with his power starting to decline. I bet the Rangers come out on top in the long run of this trade. Kins showed the type of player he had started to become and therefore is in the second half.

In two more years I will be willing to bash JD for the Prince deal. Not his fault Prince tried to play hurt

Hopefully Fielder rebounds after having surgery and makes it more even. But when he made the trade, I thought it was great. The talk in Dallas was that they might get a relief pitcher for Kinsler and the Rangers needed more power. The potential offense Fielder can give them was a much better return on Kinsler than I thought they’d get. I’m hoping he’s not a total bust.

Love this move. JD and Levine have done some great things in Texas.
Daniel Morairity
Name one thing that they have done

To start, traded Texeria for a boatload of prospects including Andrus, Harrison, and Feliz to name a few. They traded for Hamilton which was a steal of a deal, to name a few. Under their watch built one of the best clubs both at the major and minor levels.

Is there any way this team can get pitching since they don’t want to deal with Lester scherzer shields

…building the roster that went to back to back WS?
