Joe Nathan - 2 yr deal to the Rangers

Feliz to the rotation, Adams stays in the setup role with Uehara

Hmmmm, got him in a dump trade.

[Hornsby]

Good move for the Rangers as long as they didn't overpay...they solve a couple of problems with one signing. Now Feliz can't play any games with them, and the rotation should be strong as long as Ogondo doesn't let the post-season get in his head.

Considering Nathan didn't have that great of a year, does Adams or Uehara get a shot at closing?

Good to know, guess I wasn't paying attention!

My one reservation is his age. This is a 37th birthday present (22 Nov). As Jason points out, he is still effective, while Adams is 33 and Uehara is 36. If I were not already past this age, I would make rocking chair jokes.

Nice back end trio for the Rangers if they can stay healthy.

I think this is a smart move. They probably know they can't sign C.J. Wilson so the can spend less money and replace him with Feliz and still have a very good bullpen (provided they stay healthy).

I guess $14 is too steep to keep Mike Adams in an AL only league at this point.

With three, they have a good chance that at least one is mowing. Plus, there is a raft of young flame thowers to set them up.
