Also
Define “paper tigers”.
Is that like a Miguel Cabrera fat head?

I was making a joke
But I don’t know who that man is, so you’re half right.

I agree with your thesis, and I would like to vote for Scott Feldman.
I think the Rangers hold on the American League is in flux. They can’t expect to stay on top without making efforts to get better every year.
I can’t believe they haven’t signed Roy Oswalt yet. He would be the real ace this team needs.

Totally agree.

What's your problem?
Why do you have to say thanks to every single post that supports you? Do you have some kind of complex. This post, and the sheer volume of your posts is beyond belief. Try doing something with your life, say, take a nap, eat, or anything else. PLEASE STOP POSTING.
NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chew on my ear lobe, or bring me some figgy pudding, or whatever your Grecian soul desires, but leave “Me the Wunderkind” alone!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually most of the national media gives high marks,
and has high expectations for the Rangers. To my thinking it doesn’t really matter what others say. It doesn’t even matter what many say in the local market. I was trying to find out what you thought about the bullpen and the backup utility infielder. I don’t see it being Profar and Olt. They need some time in Round Rock before they can even think about it. I don’t Leonys up in Arlington this year. I suspect Yoshi, and Lowe won’t both be in the bullpen. There are many miles to go with what the 25 man roster looks like for the first regular season game.
