    Eh, they paid a big price, but didn't give up any of top 3

    And their system is pretty good . Not like ours, but good

    Think Luhnow's persistent interest probably upped South Oklahoma's offer quite a bit.

    They just gave up everybody else... they were a last place team a year ago (with a healthy Yu), and they're 8 games back this year and continuing to fade.

    If they spend even "more" money this off-season, they're now officially in "chasing it" mode... and no team makes it out of that mode unscathed.

    I am also curious about the % prospects that actually do as they are projected. Baseball is hard to predict to various factors involved with the minor leagues. Other sports don't really have the structure of minor league like MLB.

    Some troll on twitter made a fake screengrab showing that Price was traded to the Mets according to MLBTV and Mets fans on twitter are ecstatic.

    I'd be all over this if I am Luhnow. They lost some leverage tonight.

    Ranger forum fans are pissed. Some twitter post about Houston coming in strong at the last minute allegedly pushed the Rangers to make this trade. It still mentioned that Cole still rejected coming to Houston. Double lol.

    Nope. Marwin wouldn't be in deal. I think Stros prefer his bat. Killing it in July.

    Kemp, Santana, pitcher not named Appel could snag him easily.

    That's probably too much. Appel and Fisher would probably get it done.

    I like Marwin, but he wouldn't be holding up a Gomez deal, lol
