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

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.
