    I think that perception is unavoidable for a last place team with a $20M payroll.

    Of course Nolan wanted the Astros in his division. That's just easy victories for his Rangers.

    Yes we are, I love the Astros but make no doubt about it, we are historically bad right now. Just hope the prospects who look to be legit, are

    Yep, any thoughts that we were trying to compete this year were simply ridiculous

    Carters .785 OPS now, creeping back up to where it needs to be.

    Still think he can be a really productive power bat in the Mark Reynolds mold.

    A Springer, Singleton, Carter middle of the order could easily provide 90 HR's

    If carter is your only all or nothing type, he could be fine.

    You're right. They should tank for another year or three before trying to put a decent product on the field.
