Clayton Richard ended up putting up more or less identical numbers to what Peavy put up in Chicago.

So they traded Peavy for Peavy and got Avi Garcia in addition?

Kenny did ok

Obviously you remember the Juan to the Tigers trade?

I was super pumped to get Kapler, Cordero, Justin Thompson, etc. It's fun to look back at trades like that.

No. No its not. It basically was Frank Catalanatto for Danny Patterson.

Oh yes. Forgot we got Frank Catt in that deal.

Well, it can be.

Its way more fun to remember Juan Gonzalez and Ramon Santiago for Carlos Guillen

Frank Cattalonotto absolutely killed the Red Sox, regardless of what team he was on.

Very solid hitter. I always thought he had a good shot at a batting title if he got enough ABs. He was pretty damn good for us.

Man, in two days I've gone from wanting the Sox to sign Sandoval to praying they don't.

It wasn't just you. I was having similar conversations in real life.

I wish I had real life people to talk about baseball with. Instead I just have the brain damaged employee at work who repeats the same statement for 6 hours at a time.

I'd still take him.

I'd go 4 years/66 mill for Pablo. Club option for a 5th year. Let's be honest SOMEONE will overpay for him.

But why would you want your team to be the one that does it? Especially since I cant think of a club that makes LESS sense than the Rangers.

We have had almost nothing from the DH spot the last 2 years.

And you won't get much there with sandoval.

He would be an upgrade (coming to a hitters park) over old Lance Berkman or Mitch Moreland.

6 DH's had enough at bats to be considered "qualified" in 2014. All 6 had a higher OPS than Pablo Sandoval except Billy Butler. He was also the only one with fewer HR (9). The next lowest? Adam Dunn with 22. Everyone else had more than 30.

Dropping the Plate Appearances down to 250, 13 guys are listed. Pablo Sandoval would be be tied for 9th with CJ Cron in OPS. In other words, Pablo Sandoval has negative value as a DH.

Last year. In a hitters park. IF he came to Texas it would not shock me to see him hit 25 homers. Also opens the door for if we are out of the race in July ( decent possibility) we can trade Beltre if he's doing well (no reason to think he won't be) and Pablo moves right into 3rd.

All of this being said I'd love to get both a starter and a bat (someone like Morse or Torii Hunter) over Pablo but I wouldn't be upset at all about signing Pablo. Would not go over the amount I stated either (4/$66 with a club option for a 5th w/ low buyout).
