Of Course, This Means The Rangers Have To Sign Prince Fielder Now

By Grant Brisbee - Editor

The Angels just signed Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson. Thinking that the
Rangers probably aren't going to counter with Nick Punto.


Dec 8, 2011 - In attempt to catch up to the Texas Rangers, the Los Angeles
Angels of Anaheim signed the best hitter in baseball. Then they signed away
the Rangers' best pitcher. From the Rangers' perspective, that's like
reaching for a can of Raid and seeing that the cockroach is holding it.

If I owned the Rangers, I would have walked away from Game 6 of the 2011
World Series thinking malicious thoughts. And after Game 7, I would have
retreated to my luxurious suite, cracked open a bottle of 40-year-old Scotch,
and started plotting how I was going to sign Albert Pujols away. At first, I
would have done it just to put him on the bench just to piss off Cardinals
fans, but at some point I would have figured out that playing him was a
better idea.

The Rangers' ownership is not as petty as I am, apparently. They're fiscally
prudent and pragmatic. And if they didn't think that Pujols was worth $254
million -- which is something that 28 other teams thought -- well, they might
be right. But they were always the best fit for one of the two premium first
basemen on the market, considering that they have a modest payroll, and that
they shouldn't be especially attached to Mitch Moreland.

It's possible that the Rangers were going to be coy with Prince Fielder and
hope that the market got a little soft for him, allowing them to swoop in.
And if they didn't get him, well, they were still set up for 2012 with one
fewer long-term contract to worry about. But the Angels just signed one of
the best hitters of all-time, and they took the Rangers' #1 starter on the
same day. They might as well have put on a powdered wig, walked up to the
Rangers, and slapped them with a little white glove. It had to stun the Texas
front office just a little bit.
