    Yeah, but probably doesn't have the stamina to go there

    Could be a steal for the Rangers if he can pitch more like he did in 2010.

    Joba, Robertson, Rivera is a good start. Don't think he was necessary.

    Another quality arm would be nice. Can't trust Joba one bit. 8-9 million is a lot though.

    $4M+/year is pretty cheap when catchers who are batting in the .230 range are going for $10M+/year
    Offseason Tracker: Signed AJ & Soto, Soria, Berkman, Frasor, redoing the main concourse entrance, raised ticket prices. Lost Hamilton, Koji, Young, Napoli, Dempster, Adams, Feldman, Lowe, Oswalt


    Quest to watch a game in all 30 baseball stadiums, so far I have seen: Arizona, Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Cincinnati, Houston, Kansas City, LA Angels, LA Dodgers, Miami, NY Mets, NY Yankees, St. Louis, San Diego, Seattle, Texas, Washington

    Well the Rangers had all the leverage because Soria was coming off a bad 2011 season and TJ surgery last year.

    Decent signing but the Rangers already have Feliz & Colby Lewis coming back from arm injuries.

    Actually Feliz will likely miss most or all of the '13 season due to TJ surgery while Lewis might not be ready until after the All-Star break coming off elbow surgery.
