Ex-Rangers Strike Gold
Teams have already guaranteed almost $200 million to five Ranger free agents. The contracts of these five and the unsigned Vicente Padilla should approximate what Texas dropped on Alex Rodriguez before 2001. Numbers in italics are guesstimates on my part.

Even in light of the New Baseball Economy (Nov 2006 - ?), none of these contracts appeals to me.
