What a great player. I know the Rangers don't really have a place for him but amidst all the talk of resigning Marlon Byrd and thinking about what kind of contract he'll get, I was watching the Angels/Red Sox game and started wondering what Figgins might get. He can play center, and wherever the hell else you want him to play, and he'll hit .300 and steal 40 bases. He's 31, a career .293 hitter with a .404 OBP. Maybe he gets caught stealing more than you'd like, and maybe Marlon has more 'leadership' mojo than he does, but who wouldn't want this guy on their team? I guess you could say a utility guy shouldn't get a big contract but at this point he reminds me of a Mark DeRosa, a guy a lot of teams would want. I say he gets 3yrs/30M and maybe 4 years from some team (probably the Angels.) What do you think?
