Beltre is signed by Rangers

The Texas Rangers added another free agent to their team as they landed free agent Adrian Beltre. I wish that Beltre had come back to the Sox, but hey, they look pretty good themselves with Youk at third and A-Gonzalez at first. Anyway, the Rangers were Beltre's first choice, because they are "committed to winning." Uh huh. If you want that approach, then go to the Giants. The Rangers couldn't do anything against the Giants, right? So how can Beltre choose them over San Fran?

And as another setback for the Rangers, super-excellent third baseman Michael Young will be pushed out of the way to DH and utility infielder. Gosh, you're taking out your best infielder for a guy who can really only hit? Why not just put Beltre at DH? I mean, sure, he's pretty darn good at third, so maybe the Rangers want someone off the bench who can play everywhere. And another thing. They signed him to a six-year contract. Honestly? This guy, the year before coming to the Sox, missed almost half the season due to a groin injury. Ouch, so this 6-year fling is a big risk for Texas. Maybe his agent helped him decide. I mean Scott Boras, the evil one. He helped Tim Wakefield and Jason Varitek, the latter in his arbitration year. Tek, under his agent's advice, wanted way too much money for the way he had been playing.


Trivia
The Rangers have never won a World Series.
Teams from Texas have won one out of eight Series games (Houston was swept by the White Sox in 2005)
