[Slowhand]

Rangers in talks for Greinke or Hamels, considering Cliff Lee if neither of those deals go through.

FUCK that guy!! NOW he wants to be here.

I would go for Greinke. I don't think he will be is as expensive as hamels.

It's not like he's the one who initiated the trade talks

Agreed on Greinke, though. Unfortunately, he's going through some fatigue issues. Milwaukee has also pretty much said that they're not offering him an extension, and it seems likely they'll trade him, so they're going to want some serious talent in return.

Just not sold on Hamels being worth anything near where he's going to get paid.

Aren't they both free agents next year? Why waste farm league talent on someone who is only going to help for 3 months? It's not as if our pitching staff is horrible -- it's actually quite good, I think.

Because its almost impossible to win a WS without an ace.

Completely agreed on this.

The Rangers proved otherwise last year.

Oh, they won the WS last year?

An ace pitching Game 6 wouldn't have kept Feliz and Lowe from giving up the tying and winning runs in late innings.

It wasn't for lack of an ace that they lost.

[Vertnut]

If they don't step it up, they won't get a sniff of the ALCS, much less the WS.

Maybe. But an ace in game 7 should would have helped.

Now you're talking hypotheticals. Wait, that's what you've been talking all along.
