Thought we needed another thread on this:lol

sweet

Blows me away how this team goes from decades of suck to MLB powerhouse so quickly.

Wonder if Fielder's next.

Wonder if Fielder's next.

That'd be great. I think we'd just about negate everything the Angels did.

Except that you guys "replaced" your #1 spot while we "added" your #1 guy to our rotation.

Angels pitching staff is very nice, no doubt.

But they still don't have as good of a team, top to bottom, as the Rangers.

It's still the Rangers division to lose.

i think the x-factor is if Morales comes back. He will provide protection to Pujols and will fill the DH role. If he does come back, then i see a Trumbo for 3rd base trade possibly happening.

2009 Stats
86 runs
173 Hits
34 HR
108 RBI
.306 BA
.355 OBP
switch hitter.

Also, the fact that Jeff Mathis is gone is a BIG upgrade. lol

Cant forget about Trout, but i think he'll play a major role in 2013 when Hunter is gone.

Why are all the Rangers threads turning to Angels threads?

[TheMACHINE]

Why are all the Rangers threads turning to Angels threads?

Because Ranger Fans like to bring up the Angels constantly?

lol..could be. Probably because of all the moves in the offseason. Going to make for an interesting season.

Except that you guys "replaced" your #1 spot while we "added" your #1 guy to our rotation.

True but we could potentially add any of the combination of Darvish, Perez (future stud), Feliz, and Feldman. All are capable of being quality starters

[TheMACHINE]

Is feliz back to closing?

[Spursfan092120]

Is feliz back to closing?

He's starting next year.
