Wednesday a.m. Rangers stuff

Today is the deadline for the Rangers to sign Yu Darvish, and all indications are that a deal will get done, though it probably won't happen until close to the 4 p.m. deadline.
Jeff Wilson writes that the Rangers are "cautiously optimistic" about getting a deal done with Darvish.
If Darvish signs, Alexi Ogando is the most likely candidate to go to the bullpen, and Ogando says that, while he'd prefer to start, he's prepared to pitch in relief if that's where the team needs him.
Behind the paywall, Evan Grant writes that Scott Boras is hoping for the Rangers not to get a deal done with Darvish, as that would then mean they'd turn their attention to Prince Fielder.
Gil Lebreton has a column on the way the Rangers' rotation is being re-worked for 2012.
Anthony Andro has a story on Greg Maddux joining the team for their pitching camp this week to work with the pitchers.
Evan Grant writes that the large spread between what Mike Napoli is asking for in arbitration and what the Rangers are offering helps illustrate why a long-term deal between Napoli and the club couldn't get done.
Thad Levine says he's hopeful the Rangers will be able to extend their streak of not going to arbitration with any of the three players who they still haven't done a deal with.
Drew Davison has notes on the Rangers pitchers working with Greg Maddux, Michael Kirkman as the lone experienced lefty reliever on the roster, and the team's arbitration cases.
Sullivan's notes talk about Kirkman and Martin Perez as bullpen candidates, Matt West and Tommy Mendonca adjusting to position changes, and Greg Maddux working with the Ranger pitchers.

Initially I read "Behind the paywall, Evan Grant writes that Scott Boras is hoping for the Rangers not to get a deal done with Darvish, as that would then mean they'd turn their attention to Prince Fielder. "
As “Behind the paywall, Evan Grant writes that HE is hoping for the Rangers not to get a deal done with Darvish, as that would then mean they’d turn their attention to Prince Fielder.”

Well, the non-collar shirt is perhaps the bigger problem.

fight now a game of chicken is going on
probably one ot two sticking points that both sides are waiting for the other to give in. Then at 3:00pm they will meet, compromise and sign a deal.

I think they probably wait until
he is pitching off the mound, make sure he is healthy. So we will hear the inevitable “Martin Perez and Miggie and Ross might go to the bullpen” talk until then. The first spring training meme of 2012.

I should look that thread up.
I can’t imagine Parks enjoys Hulet’s “prospecting.”
I wonder how he feels about Mike Newman’s work, though. In a recent chat, Newman noted he was very unlikely to ever post a “Top 100” list, because (I’m paraphrasing) he’s the guy who actually watches players and writes about them, not the guy who speculates wildly about guys he’s never seen in person.

yeah it kinda felt that way
I mean, with such a careless approach, the likelihood that he would write his “prospecting tractatus” just for you was kind of a long shot:)
Also: that was the short version.
The long version pointed out that last year, he had Olt ranked 6th, based at least in part on a statistical performance that he’s now holding against him, somehow. And that Sardinas, despite a lost 2011, wound up passing Olt… I don’t know.

I misread that as "Happy Tinkles".
Which, all things considered, is probably close to the same thing.
but what is even weirder
he’s working with the kids on ….fielding.
Reasonable compromise?
Would the Rangers offer a 6th year team option at say $20M+ with a $5M buyout?
And would Yu accept it?

Discount for who?
As Yu’s agent, I would tell Texas if they want a 6th year, they have to pay him like a Free Agent that year. Though a lower buyout may be in order as a compromise.

Who would you rather have?
Yu
or
Oswalt and Fielder on reasonable contracts, say one- and five-year deals respectively.
Which result produces the better 2012 team? 2012 only.
Go Strangers.
the latter?
i think our pitching, without Yu, has the potenital to be top 5 in the AL (starters), probably top 2 (relievers).
with prince though, i just don’t see how we dont score 900+ runs this year, which is a lot of wins.

Roy and Prince.
I know what Prince can do, Darvish is a question mark as far as I’m concerned.
"It’s Advil and beef in the Texas Rangers, you yankee bastard."
- Nolan Ryan
This is really a Yu for 5-6 year v. Fielder for 5 year hypothetical.
In which case, I’ll give the slight edge to Yu. Roy Oswalt is fucking worthless and I wish we could stop talking about him.

yeah, the Oswalt talk needs to stop
unless we have a big time trade in the works, and no, I don’t know what a big time trade would be
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
I view Oswalt as nothing more then a move to add veteran depth.
The upside seems marginal at most. More then likely he, even if he stays relatively healthy, isn’t going to be more then a mid-rotation type. He seems like he would be better served if he would sign with a team and start the season on the DL or do some work on his own and sign in about June.
It probably makes more sense to sign him as a coach than it does to sign him as player.

but that’s probably because I’ve wanted Prince forever

and is one of the most optimistic projections I’ve seen. But it amounts to 6 years of Darvish at $116.7M. Still a huge commitment.

I feel optimistic about the whole thing
Yu just doesn’t have that much leverage and if he doesn’t agree to 6 years, then he’ll still likely only be a FA 6 years from now if he signs a 5 year deal next offseason. It is also paying him a good bit more than Dice-K got and that seems to be the benchmark everyone is talking about.
Josey Wales: "And if you think intangibles really do exist, how in the F could you vote Ellsbury as the MVP?"
Adam J. Morris: "If it weren’t for my horse, I wouldn’t have spent that year in college."
That deal is awful.

That's the idea...
Texas probably isn’t backing off the 6-year term, and it’s going to cost them.
6/$65m, presuming they believe in the player enough to get this far, seems about right.

5/55-60
with some really high $$ vesting option for year 6
yeah or more
20-25 but based completely on meeting performance thresholds in year 5. If he has blown up into an Ace by then, 22.5m might be a good deal. Maybe 20m with 5m in incentives if it vests…?
Would anyone else rather not see Marteen in the pen?
I hope they’ll let him settle in and adjust to AAA ball this year.

I was playing darts a couple nights ago and thinking about Greg Maddux.
I was irritated while enduring a bad stretch… irritated that I couldn’t figure out why I was missing when it seems so simple to repeat one’s mechanics in friggin’ darts. And then I thought about how incredible it is to be able to locate a baseball from 60’ 6" with such precision, considering the complexity of the task… Amazing…

I heard they first wanted Mike Olt's blessing.
He was flattered to be asked, but suggested that Darvish would be better served by asking #TheLegend.

“I’ll be looking for his work ethic,” Washington said. “We know he can throw the baseball. I’m going to just pay attention to his work ethic because there’s a different mentality as a starter than as a reliever.”
How he reacts when he struggle will be the key for me. Will Feliz waffle on starting when he gets knocked around a bit?
