Wow - they just added 10 wins between Fielder and CJ and we just lost 5 (less depending on the addition from Feliz going from reliever to starter).

Time to Fing spend Nolan/JD!

The Angels may have saved our offseason by spending all of this money. Yu was just posted and you know we HAVE to be in on Fielder to some degree now that the Angels got BOTH guys.

Offseason could end up just like I wanted it minus Ogando still starting and Nathan closing...

Isnt it more important to sign Andrus, Cruz, Feliz, Hamilton and co. to longer contracts? Those guys are grossly underpaid. Fielder is an overhyped overweight 1st baseman. Pujols may go down as the worst signing in the history of MLB. CJ is going to make ridiculous money as well. On top if it all, apparently it is going to top $125 million to get Darvish.

Does Texas really want to spend that kind of money on a pitcher that has never played in the MLB? Look at the history of Japanese pitchers, not a good conversion rate. Add in that Darvish wasnt even the best pitcher (ERA) in Japanese league this year. I think the Rangers will concentrate on signing what they have until a more realistic, non-overhyped prospect comes along.

15Mil per year is not ridiculous money for CJ. Signing Hamilton long term is the kind of contract that can turn ugly in a hurry.
