Signed Texas Rangers
texas ranger's pitching?
i have been a ranger's fan forever, and every year it is the same story...they always need pitching.
what i dont understand is, why havent they ever shelled out the money to basically outbid everybody else like they did when they got A-Rod?
I know they have had failed attempts with signing fairly big name pitchers (chan ho park and Millwood), but why didnt they just outbid everyone else for a superstar pitcher?
I definately do not want them to do this now with all the good young players they currently have. and i know that most pitchers dont want to pitch in arlington, but i really think if the price was right, they would have.
anyone know why?
They have opened up the wallet in the past only to have it blow up in their face, ala Park as you mentioned, so they're a little bit leary of trying it again.
The bonafide superstar pitchers simply don't want to pitch here without an outrageous "who cares what it does to my Hall of Fame chances because I'll never have to worry about money again" type contract, because it will inflate their stats and make it tougher for them to get a good contract when they finally decide to leave the 'cozy' confines of Arlington.
The Rangers have actually been in the bidding for an established ace a few times: Mike Hampton, back when he was all the rage, rejected the Rangers' offer and instead signed with the Rockies because "They have great schools for his kids"
If there's one thing that uber-talented, shallow MLB pitchers care more about than money, it's their personal statistics.
I think we just need to develop our own pitching (and stop trading them away!), throw them out their when they're young, and see what happens. It's worked out pretty good this season, even though it was due to desperation more than any plan.
Failing that, the only hope is to tear out the Gold Club behind home plate. It's the main reason we have the 'Jet Stream' effect that causes so many shaky knees among pitchers.
