Rangers sign Beltre to a six year deal, making Michael Young the DH. I like both aspects of this move, although I don't necessarily believe Beltre is as far supperior at third as the media makes him out to be. I do however like adding another steady .300 + average to the line-up. Heading into next season the Rangers line-up appears to be stronger than last years, but like I said, that's on paper.
The big question in my mind, and most other baseball nuts, is what is the starting rotation going to look like. The rest of the A.L. West has had a pretty quiet off-season which is a good thing for the Rangers. There is no reason the Rangers shouldn't at a minimum repeat as A.L. West champs, but the question that time will answer is will this team have the pitching to make another World Series push or are we going back to gorilla ball of the 90's teams. I still believe that Daniels will make another big pitching move mid-season to try and tighten up the rotation, but we will have no idea who might be available until around the all-star break.
