TR's story on Rangers.mlb.com

references three players.

The Rangers completed a trade with the Houston Astros on Tuesday to reacquire the 14-time All-Star catcher for three players. The Astros will receive Class A pitcher Matt Nevarez and two players to be named, one of whom is reportedly Double-A infielder Jose Vallejo.

Who are we going to pick with the 31st pick in the draft next year?

"What ... 92 miles per hour?" Feldman scoffed. "That's not gas. Feliz throws gas."

It is 15 right? Everyone else signed?

It is the 14th overall pick

Crow signing or not in KC

by NorCalRangersFan on Aug 18, 2009 6:20 PM CDT up reply actions  

No

He re-entered the draft but was a regular first rounder. The Nats picked Drew Storen with the comp pick they received for not signing him, which is why the Rangers picked 14th, not 13th, which was their actual draft slot.

by Brett Perryman on Aug 18, 2009 6:55 PM CDT up reply actions

JD started looking for a catcher as soon as Salty went on the DL.
Wanted someone with playoff experience. Scouts very high on Pudge. Bat should play better with more rest. ’Stros had very good reports on his prep with pitchers.

On Purke, won’t get into specifics, could come to an agreement, Rangers made an outstanding offer.
