Why are the Texas Rangers acting like they have no money?

Didn't offer Hamilton, no Napoli, missed out on Z.Greinke, no Cody Ross who was a target, Flat out have fallen flat on every targeted free agent they were after. Going into the season with no improvements over last season.

I don't think they're acting like they don't have money, but they're being smart with the money they have.
Hamilton - Fan favorite and a perennial all-star BUT he averages just under 130 games a season. He isn't the 2010 Hamilton with the high average, that was an anomaly. He's kind of a "poor man's" Votto with more power if that makes any sense.
Napoli - Pretty big dip in production and the Rangers decided to let him walk. He wouldn't be a guy to put them over the top so that money was best placed elsewhere. This really only looks bad since Hamilton walked IMO. They got AJ for less money and less years.
Greinke - The Rangers would have been retarded to make Greinke the highest paid pitcher in the game. I wouldn't say they "lost out" on this deal.
Simply put, the Rangers are kicking the tires but not overextending themselves. If they struggle this year I'm sure some will point to this offseason but IMO they'll be better off down the road for their moves, or lack thereof.

All the guys they could have signed got overpaid elsewhere. I am glad we didn't overpay.
The rotation isn't that bad. Darvish should improve on his 1st season, Harrison was strong last year, Lewis is coming back in June, hopefully Holland can put it together. Bullpen is still strong.
The offense will take a step back, which sucks. But even then its still better than a lot of offenses out there.
