The Rangers continue to make good moves. The new ownership seems to know what they are doing.

I really hope the Rangers aren't planning to use Napoli to "spell" Yorvit Torrealba.

Catching in the Texas heat, you're going to have to do a lot of "spelling" regardless. Unless you got a young Pudge on the juice, you need 2 catchers. Napoli provides the added benefit of playing some 1B and DH as well, even when he's not behind the plate.

This deal will look a lot better for the Blue Jays once they sign Vladimir Guerrero.

[Post Count Padder]

That was quick. Playing in Arlington, Napoli might hit 30 this year.

That is a tough name to spell, for sure.

Anyone else sensing Frasior to the Cubs anyday now? No basis just a feeling.

[Clem Fandango]

I guess the Blue Jays DO have faith in J.P. Arencibia

I could see it, but I shudder to think of what they'd get in return.

Great off-season, Tony.

The Angels get their outfielder. Blue Jays shed Wells contract(maybe he had Alex Rios just need to get the hell out of Canada syndrome). Rangers get their power hitting catcher. everyones happy.

 

BTW, isnt Frank Francisco the guy who hit a lady with a chair during a melee?

Rios has been worse with the White Sox than he was with the Blue Jays, actually.
