Rangers' Choo done for season

[fan_since79]

Good. He won't be able to torment us in the six games remaining with Texas.

 

Darvish probably will not pitch again this year as well.

Season over. For Texas.

[laagamer]

He was struggling this season.

 

I wonder if that was the problem.

Texas will have plenty of Rondons drafting first

[Angelsjunky]

A terrible year: .242/.340/.374 with a -0.2 fWAR. Next year he'll be 32, which is that magical age when players often start tanking. Best of all? The Rangers owe him $116 million over the next six years, so he'll be outlasting Hamilton and keeping Pujols company for most of the rest of his contract.

 

Of course the Rangers also have Prince Fielder under contract for six more years, owing him $114 million (after the $30 million the Tigers will pay) - so that's $230 million total in albatross contracts over the next six years, compared to the Angels' $278 million owed to Hamilton and Pujols. That's half a billion dollars owed to the four bozos.

 

The Rangers' two big splashes of the offseason were total and complete belly flops.

I'm not a big fan of those contracts, but their payroll will likely drop below 100 million in the next couple of years.

There season was over before it even started.

There season was over before it even started.

 

When the season started, there were people here who wondered aloud if we would ever knock them off their perch.

You forgot the $140+ million owed to Elvis "Aybar with a bat" Andrus. 

[Stradling]

And whatever they are paying Prince Fielder, who will be coming off of neck or back surgery and he's probably not getting any smaller.

[Inside Pitch]

Rangers are busy trying to get the first pick in the draft.  If they can make up an injury for Beltre I'm sure they will.  He's due for a season ending hammy pull.

Dude has been done since June. He never should have played on that bum wheel, he just hurt the team

[mrwicked]

texas will still be stacked next year, and now they are gonna have an insane draft pick.

On paper, yes, but you never know how guys (especially 30+s) are going to comeback from serious injury.

Stacked?   With question marks maybe.   They have a lot of things to work on this offseason, easily one of the more interesting teams to follow this winter IMO.

Petty hard to hurt a last place team's performance.

[UndertheHalo]

He definitely did not help my fantasy team.  The injury really messed him up.  He seemed primed to put up big time numbers in Texas.  

[Broad Street]

Remember when people really wanted him here?
