Poll: Should Texas have signed Nelson Cruz for 1 year, $8M?

Nelson Cruz has agreed to a deal with the Baltimore Orioles for 1 year at $8 million, plus $750K in incentives which are reportedly fairly easily obtainable.

Setting aside the issue of whether Cruz would have signed with Texas for that price, given that he would likely have had to have DH'd primarily, if Texas could have brought Cruz back on that deal, would you have wanted them to?
