Keep that young infield intact. I'm actually a little excited about the RANGERS. They have good, young players and have acquired some pitching.

Wow, that surprises me. His numbers justified 15 million per year not over 2 years. I'm very surprised Boras went for that. That shows me that Tex must really want to stay here.

It just goes to show that the Baseball Antichrist loses every once in a while.

I remember when i saw Teixeria up close at the Bosox games in may, he was crazy, he like kept the same face on the whole time, he didnt ever smile it was like :o the whole time.

For all those saying the Rangers got off cheap, or they beat Boras..That is not true. All this deal did was avoid arbitration. He still would not have been able to go anywhere till after 2007.

The long term deal will still be BIG BUCKS.

That's true, but I think he would have gotten more than 6 million in arbritration.

he would have gotten more than 6 million if they hadnt resign him:D
