Offseason Splash Poll:

by slimshadty12 on Dec 13, 2008 8:38 PM CST Comment 23 comments

I always like an offseason poll of if/when we'll make a splash. I think this is a perfect time for the poll since some big signings went down and things could be brewing now for mid-small market teams.

I figure this could bring a little better discussion then the rumor diaries going around. Especially when it's dead at this current second.

Anywho (ah 5 friggin words short)....here's the question:

Poll

If and when will the Rangers make a big splash? (We're talking Ben Sheets, even Randy Johnson, or a big trade like one of the catchers, Blalock, Millwood, etc.) By the upcoming weeks...

Wow looks like we're all either going to be dead on...

or disappointed this year as far as Texas Rangers hollidays are concerned…unless JD pulled out one this week which is possible to setup for maybe another semi-big move ;)

How can we predict anything but Christmas week?

Big stuff always happens when I'm out of town

right before Christmas. Always.

I’m out of town the 21st through 28th. I predict one signing that isn’t obvious, and one trade involving one of our young pitchers (that is practically guaranteed when I leave town that week)

Dang middle of nowhere, no cell coverage, using Dad’s laptop…at least they have high speed now :)

Christmas/Chanukah time

If its not a Christmas day present, JD has 7 other days to make it happen for a Chanukah present. So my vote is between December 21 and December 27. We will sign Ben Sheets on December 23, 2008 at 9:42 P.M.

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
