This makes up for losing out on everyone else.

Good move. Now they should try to sign LaRoche so Ian Kinsler doesn't have to play first everyday.

Oh yeah.

I'm just saying everyone is talking about the huge loss of Mike Napoli... AJ is just as good.

Guess I'll take your bait again

Their season averages over the past 3 years with Napoli averaging 390 ABs to AJ's 470

Are we talking about the same AJ Pierzynki?

Nap's better. And not a jackass. But, Napoli's gone and this is a pretty good replacement as Plan B's go. One year deal, no commitment... this is a signing the Rangers had to make.

Now they have to get Ross or Swisher. Well, not have to. But really want to. If they lose Hamilton and Napoli and replace them with Swisher and AJ, that would be acceptable. Not as good as getting Upton. Or signing Sanchez or Greinke for the rotation. But not nothing. It would mitigate their losses a tad.

spot on. Going to be interesting to see what happens down the road this season and how willing they are to make some moves.

Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports that A.J. Pierzynski's deal with the Rangers is worth $7.5 million.

You guys are right, he's not as good.

My impression is biased because he's a big hero around here.
