Millwood is not coming off the books. He has an option if he pitches enough innings. He’ll be back next season.

Hmmm… Holland, Smoak, AND two prospects? That’s a hefty tag. If you trade Smoak, that means you believe Davis will turn it around. Holland is expendable if you keep Feliz. If the Rangers can pay the salary, they should do the deal. Chances to win a pennant don’t come around that often. Really, this highlights that they got burnt on Cliff Lee. He wouldn’t have cost as much in prosects or money, and he’s not a huge drop off from Halladay. Lee was a better fit given the Rangers dire financial situation.

Agreed. I guess its the cost of doing business.

Yeah..I know don't know. I would rather trade Smoak than Feliz or Holland.

I would rather trade Feliz. I think Holland could really, really do something special.

I can't dispute anything you are saying right here. You're pretty much spot on.
