The most interesting GM in baseball (for now)

I think Jon Daniels is one of the brightest people in baseball. He has helped engineer multiple moves that has turned one of sports all-time worst franchises into a perennial winner. As a kid growing up in the metroplex the Cowboys dominated in popularity and merchandise sales...that is no longer true. The Rangers arguably are either as popular as the Cowboys or may be even slightly more in DFW now. An amazing turn around and Jon Daniels is a big part of that transformation.

Daniels has come a long way since giving away Adrian Gonzalez and John Danks for a bag of beans.

.....daniels told me the other day that he just doesnt feel good about this team....thye have not yet found 5th gear, as has been expected all year......despite 2nd best record, still strugglin in most facets (by ranger standards).......so a spark is needed for sure......and if a spark returns them to "normal" stretch mode.....look out.....

Notice the MIAMI HEAT logo behind is head hahahaha !!!

These Rangers started out like gang busters but have since slowed down a bit. None of that matters as long as you make the playoffs....new season where anything can happen. The Rangers are going to have a say in how things shake out. Whether they pick up anybody or not.

Maybe if they walked the guy, they'd be Champions? What a Joke! This guy did not cause their demise, the Cardnials did idiot!

That is actually an Anaheim Angels logo (of whereever they CLAIM to be from). He was being interviewed sitting infront of the Rangers dugout before a game in Anaheim. Go back to the beach and work on your tan.

A perfectly functional Ferrari?

We lost the horse of our pitching staff and the horse batting third is clueless as hell right now.

A bit more than a tune-up is needed.

The Rangers, to get a frontline pitcher, will almost certainly have to deal one of their good young SS prospects...which is not that bad when you have Elvis Andrus in your big league lineup.

I think the Rangers will get Greinke.

Fortunately, the minor league system is still pretty well stocked. I suspect the Brewers are holding out for Olt to replace Fielder. On the other hand, the Rangers' current first baseman (Moreland), hasn't really covered himself with glory (when he's been playing).

Drink well, my friend

Not pound for pound, I hope.

I dont care what Daniels does ... if Hamilton continues on his .175 batting average since Jun 1 ... the rangers might not even make the playoffs.

By the Way ... that guy thats batting .175 ... yea he wants 200 million in his next contract.

I just could not do it, if I was a GM. The guy's body breaks down where he abused it for years, and he is a relapse waiting to happen.

Maybe a two year deal. That's it. If he walks, he walks. Frees up money for other areas and to keep other guys.

Hopefully Daniels can swing deals for both a Starting pitcher (Greinke) and an outfield left hand bat (Upton). But knowing Daniels .... he wont do it ... he will keep all those prospects and attempt to keep making hte playoffs for the next 5 years instead of winning a WS.
