Angels got Hamilton

Lol. Nice post.
I'm no longer a fan of him. He doesn't act like he cares and he's occasionally good but is mostly hurt or sucking really bad.
I'm glad the rangers didnt sign him. He's a liability and I got the sense he messed with a great team chemistry.

 

If that helps with hits and runs, So be it. There are alot of bars and ugly (some nice) ho's who love to do it in bar restrooms here in So Cal! Happy to have him.

 

No, the national media knows this.
He was pretty hot property - two years ago - but today, as you said, he is a head case waiting to go on the DL.
I can think of better ways to spend 125 mill - I hope the Angels have several clauses tied to performance in his contract.

 

Gee Rob, tell us what you really think,

Arte has spent money left and right the past couple of years...too bad hell pretty much have 100 million locked up in 3 players, and about 75 left for the rest of his team, good luck with that Arte.

 

Solid proof? Or 'he said/she said'?

Listen, I don't really love the guy, but I believe the Rangers have had all season long to re-sign him or sign him to a new extension long before any other team was able to, and Texas chose to just sit and wait, not do anything. If they wanted him they could have signed and kept him, they chose not to. THEIR FAULT.

 

Their GM (?) was on SC last night saying exactly that; They were fully expecting him to come back to 'em before finalizing a deal elsewhere - Apparently, he'd agreed to extend them that courtesy. He was visibly pissed!

Cheers,
Ian

 

Kinda the same situation with CJ last offseason. Except the Angels were not heavy favorites for Josh.

I have mixed feelings about him leaving. The way he slumped the second half of the season last year, I'm glad he's gone. On the other hand, that is a big bat gone; now, the Rangers only have two big bats in Nelson Cruz and Adrian Beltre.

I'm upset with how the Rangers are handling the offseason. They're just sitting there while their targets and alternatives are signing elsewhere. Mike Napoli to Boston, both Hamilton and Greinke to LA, and Annibal Sanchez agrees with the Tigers. Ryan Dempster also went to Boston but I knew he wouldn't be back. The best thing they've done is signed Joakim Soria, which he won't play until at least the end of May. And they traded Michael Young to the Phillies, which really saddened me after watching him play in a Texas uniform for 12 years.

If the Rangers could get AJ Pierzynski, Nick Swisher, and maybe Kyle Lohse, they would be alright for next season. But the team they have now isn't competitive.

 

As I said, 'he said/she said'.

What I read at the beginning of the season is Josh wanted to do his contract and Texas is the one that didn't want to.
It doesn't really matter because we will never really know, will we? Besides, from what you guys are posting here you didn't want him back anyway, so all is well, correct?

 

I think everyone gets booed at one time or another, makes you wonder how 3/4 of the Cowboys stick around (aside from the fact they are not good enough for someone else to sign them)

 

I agree with the sentiment that it's time to find a new QB.

How about a Romo/Rivers swap, since Rivers seems to be out-of-favor in SD?

What I find funny is Jerry Jones comments about why he fired Rob Ryan because I said exactly the same things back when Chicago and Seattle beat them. Clearly Rob Ryan was not getting his message to his players, they seemed to make (coverage) mistake after mistake after mistake, all season. I really did think Ryan would be gone after the season, but I also don't think Kiffin is the answer. I think the answer ended up in Houston, which is also wracked with injuries, but they don't seem to make the mistakes the Dallas D did all season long.

If Jerry wants to win he needs to pull a Dan Snyder and step back and let other folks run the team, right now he is eerily turning into another Al Davis.
