Im gonna have to say hell no to the nix and dominguez for benson deal. I wouldnt sign benson to his current contract so there is no way I would do that when I am pretty confident that Juandom will out pitch him anyway.

I can't make up my mind about the Benson deal. The thing is, I like JuanDom's potential fine but I feel like a) we're been talking about his potential for like 3 years & b) I don't really trust the Rangers to really give him a chance to succeed long term. Just seems like Benson is what he is & that is pretty much an average pitcher, but at least that is less of a question mark than JuanDom.

Rule Five Draft results are in......
The Rangers lost no players in the major league phase of today's Rule 5 Draft (meaning players like Drew Meyer, Ruddy Yan, Jesse Carlson, Kelvin Jimenez, Vincent Sinisi, and John Hudgins remain Texas property) and -- officially -- made no selections themselves, though they did make the trade that was originally reported by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, sending infielder Esteban German to Kansas City for the first overall pick in the draft, White Sox Class A lefthander Fabio Castro. You can read more about Castro in this morning's Newberg Report. In the AAA phase of the draft, Texas lost utility man Cameron Coughlan to Oakland and added three players: outfielders Alexi Ogando and Jayce Tingler and lefthander Estelin Soto. Unlike the big league phase of the draft, the minor league phases don't carry any roster requirements, and so Coughlan is lost to the A's and Ogando, Tingler, and Soto are now Ranger property. Ogando is pretty interesting. More in the next Newberg Report. Jamey |

That's a great quote, but all indications were that he planned to leave Texas after this season. I don't blame Texas at all for moving him, although I think the return would have been higher at the trade deadline.

"I have the same position [on moving] as I always had when I was with Texas," Soriano said. "I said that I'm not going to change from second base."
From the FWST. I liked Sori, but this has always been the thing I couldn't stand about him. Just the juxtaposition between this & what Mike Young did... http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/sports/13367840.htm

To be somewhat of a devil's advocate on the whole position change thing....
When Michael Young moved to SS, he INCREASED his value as a player. Offense from SS is a key thing nowadays, and a good SS will always make more money than a good 2B. Sori being asked to move to LF will DECREASE his value as a player. His "glamour numbers" make him look like an offensive beast as a 2B. Move him to LF, and he's still good, but not like he was at 2B. So I can see where he would be somewhat reluctant to make a move like that. While Young is a great guy for moving SS, he has expressed some reluctance to ever move back to 2B, and he's never been blasted for it. Although, he recently did say he'd be open to it if it became a requirement to win. |

The Rangers have signed veteran righthanders Jayson Durocher and Jose Silva to minor league contracts with invites to big league spring training. Durocher spent the 2001 season with Tulsa and Oklahoma before making a sensational big league debut with Milwaukee in 2002, posting a 1.88 ERA in 39 relief appearances. He missed the last two seasons due to Tommy John surgery.

Soriano took no time in getting pissy. Without making contact with anyone on the Nationals, he has announced through the press that he will be playing second base and that Jose Vidro will need to move. Good riddance.
