Odds that 2 Rangers slip through waivers

This has been covered in the past so I figure it was worthy of a new fanpost.  What are the odds that one or both of the Rangers sitting on the waiver wire get claimed?  I believe that Tejeda will get claimed because he's a live arm, and a pitching coach will take on the challenge of getting his control problems ironed out.  However, I have a hunch that Cruz will sneak through.  Tampa Bay seemed like they would be a match before trading for Nathan Haynes last week.  So what do you think?  Will Cruz and Tejeda start the season in AAA-OKC or in another Major League uniform?

Ha nice profile pic...

I don't see Cruz getting claimed. Tejeda will be traded but would be claimed.

Mets

Have the Mets added another OF? Last I heard, Alou and Delgado were battling injuries. Cruz could give Alou the occasional day off.

Could be right...

Although Cruz has been such an utter failure with the bat I don't see a team like the Mets claiming him.

What are you talking about?

Minaya would be a genius for buying so low on Cruz, right EHC?

Both end up getting dealt

As both would more likely than not be claimed.

If they get dealt at all,

I'm sure it will be for non-prospects that can help round out our minor league depth.

Why would anyone

want someone who could not make the Rangers?
