To trade or not to trade!


I'm back from vacation with a vengeance! This week marks the trade deadline for MLB and the Rangers look to be big-time players with the addition of a starter or DH or both. I give credit to Jamey Newberg, Evan Grant, and Trot Coffey for the following names that have been linked to the Rangers:

Purely speculation

Pitchers:

Roy Halladay (longshot but the Rangers are in the top 5 of possible destinations)
Cliff Lee (Cleveland says they are not trading him)
Doug Davis--former Ranger
Zach Duke--my choice and a Texan
many others.....

Hitters:
Adam Dunn
Nick Johnson--good OBP, injury concerns
Josh Willingham--good AVG, OBP and is signed through 2011
Ryan Garko--not as good as the above 3 **Update: Just traded to Giants for Single A pitcher**

I would like the addition of Zach Duke and Josh Willingham because they would help the team immediately but also be here for the next couple of years. As soon as the Rangers make a trade check out this site for complete analysis!

Upcoming: Zach Duke and Willingham spotlights.
