Heyman sees Lackey to Texas as a real possibility

Forgetting the obvious constraints that the ownership/financial situation would cause, does anyone else find it difficult to see Lackey coming back to Texas? It seems he has a pretty substantial dislike for the Rangers and some of their current players. I don't know, I just keep hearing all this speculation that it's "such a good fit cause he's from Texas" but I would just be surprised considering his history with the Rangers.

But if we offered the most money I'm sure all that history would just be a distant memory and we'd hear press conference full of quotes..."He's just a competitor" and "He's on our side now, we're not thinking about the past"....

Either way, just wanted to get people's thoughts on the reality of this happening and if it would cause a stir in the clubhouse (especially if our clubhouse leader Byrd is gone...)

Engel?

Engel?

So how do you say Engle Beltre's first name ? Is it Engel or more like EnJel? I thought it was just Engel but at the game Saturday night when he was the Ranger's farm player spotlight it sounded like Newberg said EnJel. Thanks in advance to all you Webster's out there...

Borbon or.....?

Borbon or.....?

So, let's take a walk to hypothetical-ville...

If given the opportunity would you rather have Colby Rasmus (minus the players it would take to get him), Austin Jackson (same as Rasmus), or Julio Borbon? Just wondering his value (on this site) in comparison to those other elite-tier CF prospects...

Continue the DFW draft streak...

If you look at the recent drafts of the Cowboys (Felix Jones, Mike Jenkins) and the Rangers (Justin Smoak), both teams ended up with some players that most didn't think would still be there. Hopefully the Mavericks continue this hot streak that DFW teams have had in the draft.

Best cause scenario would be to trade up into the top of the 1st round and make a big splash, with a good chance of getting into the bottom of the 1st as an alternative. Whatever happens, I just hope, hope, hope that we don't stay pat at #51. The team needs the good PR of a big time move. (I'm not counting the Kidd trade...)
