To recap: #Rangers to acquire Cole Hamels for OF Nick Williams, C Jorge Alfaro, RHP Jerad Eickhoff, and at least 1 more player. @FOXSports

Really not sure about ranger prospects but that doesn't seem like a lot to me. I have a feeling a lot of dominos are going to fall after Hamels goes.

Not sure the dominoes can fall much quicker than they are already.

I would imagine that last player has to be Odor or Profar?

 

Doesn't seem like it beats the package for Cueto or even Zobrist.

 

 

Is Williams a Top 100 prospect? Alfaro I'd at least heard of.

To pair with Darvish

 

 

They've got like 8-9 starters right now.

 

Darvish

Hamels

Holland

Gallardo (FA at end of the year, but they really like him)

Chi Chi Rodriguez

Harrison

Colby Lewis

Nick Martinez

 

Logically, Chi Chi Rodriguez would have to be the other prospect...or Odor/Profar (albeit injured).

It's Chi Chi Gonzalez. Chi Chi Rodriguez is a golfer.

Martin Perez as well, who is Better than half that list.

Starting to make a lot more sense for the Phillies, although they have a long way to go...still have the Ryan Howard deal on the books.

 

I think they're done with Utley and Cliff Lee after this year, but yikes.

 

 

 

LOL at Chi Chi Rodriguez, loved the way he played the game of golf with such infectious enthusiasm back in the day...especially his antics on the green with the putter.

Not liking this deal as much for the Phillies without Gonzalez, Odor or Profar included.

 

Then again, it's a HUGE contract for any team to take on. There's not insignificant risk for any team acquiring a veteran pitcher on the other side of 30 these days who has never gone through TJ.

 

Partially depends on how healthy Harrison is...that would make it a bit more palatable.

UPDATED: #Rangers get Hamels, Diekman, cash; #Phillies get Alfaro, Williams, Eickhoff, Asher, M. Harrison and one more player, per source.

The Houston #Astros had put together a strong package #Phillies Cole Hamels, but he exercised his no-trade rights, and ends up w #Rangers.
