Holland, Smoak, AND two prospects? That’s a hefty tag.


Agreed. I guess its the cost of doing business.

If you trade Smoak, that means you believe Davis will turn it around.


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

Holland is expendable if you keep Feliz.


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

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.


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

I agree with you on Holland vs. Feliz. I’d rather have Holland. But the Jays are specifically asking for Holland. I like Smoak, but I’m worried he’s never going to develop a pure power stroke for a first baseman. If Davis can learn to take a walk (a big if), he’s the more valuable player.
