Another mailbag column from T.R. Sullivan up at the Rangers website...
The most interesting item I found in there was on the Juan Gonzalez trade (yes, it was over 6 years ago, but still...)
Apparently, the other trade option that the Rangers had on the table was a deal with the D-Backs that would have brought them a package that included Omar Daal and Travis Lee. Lee was pretty highly regarded at the time, but all in all, I don't see that the D-Backs deal would have been better for the Rangers.
