David -

If anything, it looks like the Rangers should be apologizing to baseball.

I was actually wondering if the Tigers might go after Livan Hernandez. Who else is still active from that 97 Marlins team? Moises Alou resigned with the Mets. Maybe we could trade for him? What a nightmare that would be.

By the way can anyone answer how Rob Parker still has a job?

We should start a petition to get him dumped (I cannot stand his writing)- I wonder how much he gets paid…?

Texas Rangers trade Travis Hafner to Indians for nothing

Texas Rangers sign Chan Ho Park for a long and expensive as heck contract and he blows

Texas Rangers trade away one of their most exciting pitching prospects in Chris Young

Well at least Leyland and Renteria are washed up and useless Livan is this is insane. Though I don’t think he is seriously in contention.

This Pitchf/x thin is outstanding. God, I love Hardball Times and people that put all of this work into stuff like this so I can just click on a pitcher or a batter and look at this stuff. Outstanding.

beat me to the punch. dittos.

Also, what are the odds Maroth wears the English D again? I heard he butted heads with Leyland once after coming back from the DL, but don’t know how serious that was. Seemed like a quality guy(character wise), and an adequate #5 when he’s right, as long as your team can mash. The way he flamed out with the Cards, maybe sign him to a minor league contract, invite him to spring training and see what happens? I know he’s not very good, but he’s the kind of guy you want to see do well.
