Nolan Ryan says that the Rangers will listen to offers and are interested in free agents, but that doesn't mean they are going to trade anyone (i.e., Michael Young) or sign anyone (i.e., Ben Sheets).
T.R. Sullivan has an article up about the return of Mark Connor and the Rangers' interest in Eddie Guardado. Connor is going to assist in a developmental role this coming season, it sounds like.
Sullivan also talks to Ron Washington, who offers his thoughts on a variety of topics, including the catching situation (he says he's going to keep an open mind as to all three candidates), the cleanup slot (Nelson Cruz is pencilled in there now), and the rotation (Vicente Padilla and Kevin Millwood are the only locks).
Washington says that Kason Gabbard could end up in the bullpen, but that other pitchers have passed him up. We've talked about the 40 man roster squeeze this offseason...Gabbard is someone I could see getting dropped if the Rangers sign a free agent.
Mike Hindman predicts that a Salty + prospect for Buchholz trade will go down this week, and that the Rangers will sign Ben Sheets and trade Kevin Millwood, among other things.
Jeff Wilson says the Rangers are playing the waiting game. I am reminded of what Homer Simpson said about that in the Mr. Plow episode: "Now, we play the waiting game." Long pause. "The waiting game sucks. Let's play Hungry Hungry Hippos."
Wilson also says that the Rangers think Ben Sheets' interest in the organization is legit, and are looking at how they can afford to add him. Personally, I'm not holding my breath on that...
The BoSox website says a trade with the Rangers still doesn't appear to be a fit because the Rangers want Buchholz. The Boston Herald says that little progress between the Rangers and Red Sox has been made.

it depends
i would rather trade blalock and a package of prospects for Sanchez, or Salty for a Red Sox pitcher, but if those trades never materialize, i could support Cruz for Sonnanstine. It is better than last spring’s trade of Cruz for a spot on the 40.

Cruz is just not someone that should be traded or even considered right now.
Someone needs to find out, once and for all, what he has to offer. It might as well be us since we’ve been along for the ride.

I don't know
Andy Sonnanstine has a career WHIP of 1.3 and he’s locked up through 2013. I don’t mind the idea of him holding down a spot in our rotation, and if we can get him for a guy who we outrighted last year, I would certainly consider it.

actually
the major concern with him has always been the homerun ball. Not saying he’s not a good pitcher, but if your biggest weakness is giving up homeruns, then thats not a good combination in our ballpark.

His biggest weakness isn't home runs, it's the lack of bat missing.
And he makes up for that pretty damn well by walking absolutely no one and inducing tons of weak contact.
There’s not a shred of statistical evidence that he would “get absolutely shelled in our ballpark”.
What are you basing this on?
My guess is wild conjecture based on a big bag of nothing, but I’m willing to listen.

Orange skinned girls with bottle-blond hair don't do much for me.
Lay off the fake tanning cream and let your hair be its natural color, sweetheart.
I will say that that’s a kind of decent body, though. Damn.

Hindman
I like his stuff, but here’s the thing that really annoys me about him: In his post he says “So, I was talking to JD the other day. Here’s what I asked him.” Then he doesn’t say what JD’s response is. The point of the anecdote is: a) To name drop about talking to Jon Daniels, and b) point out what an awesome question-poser he is. He does this kind of stuff all the time.

I don't think that's it.
I didn’t point out the name drop in that link, because Adam doesn’t like me to do so, but Hindman has a very notable tendency to name drop in a rather inelegant fashion.

Sheets for Millwood?
I don’t see how signing Sheets and trading Millwood makes us much better… maybe two or three wins? Now if we sign Sheets and Millwood pitches like he did in his last contract year and Padilla adds 15 wins in a contract year and McCarthy stays healthy enough to win a dozen and one of the young guys wins 10… then we could be onto something.

If Hindman is right
and the Rangers sign Sheets and Bucholz…two Texas-connected pitchers, remember what I said nine months ago, namely that Nolan Ryan will bring some good pitching into this team. Contrary to what many of you think, to young American (especially Texas) pitchers, Nolan Ryan is still The Man.

Yes, I'm sure if Boston trades Clay Buchholz to us it'll be because of Nolan's Texocityness, not because of the young talent JD acquired to use as trade chips.

let me get this straight...
Hindman, a highly respected name from all accounts that I’ve seen, thinks we’ll end up with Sheets and Buchholz and not give up more than Millwood, Salty and another pretty good prospect or two?
is this a pipe dream still, or can we start taking it a LITTLE more seriously…?
