Poor Soriano. He was so good with the Rangers, but just went downhill from there.

Pudge is still a player, even at the "old age" (in baseball terms) of about 35-40. But someday he's just going to poop out. Everybody is gambling they won't be stuck with him, when that happens.

Millwood was overrated, no loss to Rangers. Someday, it'd be nice if they could get a strong bullpen. That's been their biggest issue since team inception.
