Marty34 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 If Felder's contract can be moved I'm even more hopeful that the Sox will find a taker for Danks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vance Law Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 QUOTE (Baron @ Nov 20, 2013 -> 09:42 PM) I honestly dont know what the Texas Rangers are doing Dealing the most expensive of their too many middle infielders and getting what should be a huge upgrade at first base. Their first basemen put up a .700 OPS last year. Looks like a smart deal for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of giving Profar more time....do not like the idea of swapping Kinsler for Fielder depending on the money going back and forth.

Dick Allen Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 20, 2013 -> 07:50 PM) Yeah that's for 2014. The Rangers will have to pay Fielder 24 million for the next 6 years after that. Cecil started falling apart right around 30. If you consider genes, Prince may only have a year or 2 as an elite hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Really seems pretty good from a Rangers standpoint. Gain Prince and now have Profar, one of the top prospects in baseball, play second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe slugging % isn't everything. Also, he referring to bWAR, which most people consider less accurate than fWAR, which graded Kinsler out at a 2.5 WAR, which seems more appropriate. Still though, it was higher than Prince's 2.2 fWAR last yaer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
