The Rangers gave up Mark Texeira (young 40 HR slugger, gold glover) and 2 of their best pitching prospects (which they dont have much of) to get their catcher of the future
Coco is not a very good center fielder. That is reserved to Ichiro, Hunter, Jones, Beltran, and Ellsbury might be in the category by next season. Yes he has speed and makes unbelievable catches... but over the last 2 seasons he fas failed to hit above .270, has a poor K:BB ratio, 10-15 HR power at best. Tell me, how often is it for a starting player to lose his job to a rookie during the playoffs?
To get Salty it would have to take a package like Coco, Masterson and another prospect
Coco for Salty straight up? Jon Daniels here is your sign, wear it proud
