Yeah, let's all overlook 10 years of suckitude...

I just can't see how that is possible.

Luke Jackson and full salary relief is about right.

That's a ridiculous asking price. Odor or Jackson alone should do it.

Odor is probably more highly regarded than Sardinas. Better production, more power, and a year younger.

Cruz is unlikely to return to the Rangers next year, so Rios would be a decent long-term replacement. They will part with either Odor, Sardinas, or Jackson I'm sure.

His slugging percentage is currently .427. I'd be happy to be rid of his salary.

Then it's a good thing we're shedding so much salary. ; )

Financial flexibility is king in a rebuild.

Then spend it on Choo and move Dayan to 1B.

1) Get Garcia in the lineup and let him make adjustments at the major league level. He has nothing to prove at AAA. 2) Get $15 million off the books, and go about trying to fix 1B or 3B.

+1000

Ah yes. The movement we've all been waiting for.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Of course.

If you want offense, you don't trade Q or Santiago. You dump Danks' contract for nothing and use the savings to sign a free agent or two.

+1000 He's one of the big reasons for our current position.

Now I get your Schtick. You like to argue for the sake of argument.

He can't play anymore. He's a DH who can't hit. All of the scouts around MLB are aware of this. If someone would have wanted him around as even a bat off the bench, we would have given him away at the deadline. Obviously he's still here.

I just can't see a scenario where he doesn't retire.

No. No. No. No.... No.

Right size, wrong shape.

Logically, he is the one that needs to provide evidence, but he can't wrap his head around that. That's why he's such a great mod.

I like that line of thinking. Wonder if he's thinking about Dayan at 3B?

You're the one making the argument that height matters. The burden of proof is on you. I don't have to prove the null hypothesis.
