    Honestly that might be something to consider. He was always a mental wreck

    I was really hoping we were dumping Choo

    Yeah I really wouldn't have cared if we dumped Choo. Now we just have to watch 3 way overpaid players the next few years.

    UPDATE III -- Per Jeff Passan on Twitter, the Rangers are expected to pay about $15 million for Hamilton's salary, with the Angels taking the rest. That's more than I'd be comfortable paying him, but I suspect ownership sees some off-the-field value to this.

    UPDATE IV -- Bill Shaiken and Aiden Gonzalez, both of whom are Angels beat writers, say LAA will not be getting any players back in this deal.

    so basically 5 mil a year for him

    this is what we're going to have to do with choo in a few years. eat almost all of his salary just to dump him on someone

    I was hoping that number would be a little lower but I'm not too upset about this deal, honestly. We are certainly buying low on someone who conceivably help us next year when we actually have a chance in hell of being competitive

    Most likely we just lit 15 million on fire, but its probably worth the shot considering the state of our OF/DH

    And yes, I hated Hamilton and wanted him gone at the time.

    i'm legit sad that choo wasn't included

    he's hitting fucking .220 over the last calendar year. that's fucking worse than mitch moreland at his worst.

    Yeah, Choo is depressing to me. I loved it when we got him, I thought he'd be one of the best leadoff hitters in the league for at least 2-3 more years

    He doesn't even see the ball well anymore

    @Evan_P_Grant: @BumpinUtleys The $15 million is not accurate. We are changing that. Far less.

    Maybe everyone will stop freaking out. Probably not

    Hamiltons production in 2013 and 2014 was probably worth 5 million per year (for 25 million, it was awful). Our fans are emotional/dumb

    Hey guys, want to hear something really depressing?

    Joaquin arias has been more valuable than Beltre, Leonys, Choo, and Elvis combined this year.

    Want to know what's even more depressing than that (you already know this)?

    We chose Arias over Cano in the Arod deal

    This gets mentioned 15 times a year and I cry everytime

    That scroll across the bottom of mlb network got me to thinking who the 4 faces of this franchise are. Im gonna say Nolan, Pudge, Juando and Face. Maybe you old farts can swap out one for a 70's Ranger.
