And it takes time for talent to come up, adjust and lead a team to the playoffs.

Fielder is 32
Beltre 37
Moreland 30
Choo 34
Desmond 30
Hamels 32

The guys winning ballgames for the Rangers right now are old and their window for winning with these players is closing. And they've still got $246 million committed to 3 players 32 or older between now and 2020.


They've got a talented farm system, but its not like they'll immediately step in and and wreck shite as the old guys break down and retire. I see the Rangers as having a window to compete this year and next and then having a down year or 2 while the farm system starts to fill out the major league club.

there's a good blend of young and old. None of those guys are retiring soon. The young will transition in with the old over the next few years and they wont fall off like you say they will.
