Unless Hamilton gets the entire roster hooked on the rock, there's no way Tex will end up regretting that deal. |
Pretty much this. Like I said after the deal got announced, even if he hits .250 with 15 homers each season, the Rangers made out like bandits. If you just took what the Rangers are paying him, his salary would barely break the top 400 in the league.
