Beltran, is a superstar and is worth 18 million. The Rangers could move soriano to the outfield move young back to second, and start Ian Kinsler at short.

Not gonna happen buddy...

1st off...I really can't see Beltran getting 18 mil a year, plus there not a snow's chance in hell that the Rangers will pony up huge dollars to anyone, not even Beltran. 2nd...You can kiss Soriano goodbye...he will command too much money in his arbitration case and the Rangers don't want to tie alot of money up for a defensive liability.

I hate to break it to Rangers fans but don't expect anything big going on down at the Ballpark this fall. They will be looking to get bargains.
I think Hicks will be to scared to commit high dollars any more and buck doesn't want anymore high priced veterens running his ship...ie ARod.
