Rangers Considering DH Targets

[HMFFL]

The latest on the Rangers' pursuit of a free agent designated hitter. He suggests the Rangers are very interested in Vladimir Guerrero and Jermaine Dye, and consider Xavier Nady an intriguing name. Gary Sheffield and Jim Thome are also in the mix.

There are issues with Vlad and Dye. With Vlad, it's a matter of agreeing on the financials. Maybe Guerrero expects big money, but I imagine reality will set in a month from now. DH jobs are few and far between. Dye, on the other hand, isn't quite ready to stop playing defense. http://trsullivan.mlblogs.com/archives/ ... h_for.html

If it is strictly DH only than Vlad sure would look good behind Josh in the lineup. Should they want to do a 50-50 with Josh DH'ing 60 games than I hope they sign Dye.

evidently we've offered vladdy 7 million, idk where we got the money but i hope he accepts (or takes a couple million less)

For what it's worth....

A source has informed Jim Bowden of Sirius XM that the Rangers are finalizing a one-year contract with Vladimir Guerrero.
It's probably worth noting that Bowden has been wrong before, but he's citing a "source close to" Vlad and it's common knowledge that the 35-year-old slugger has been in contact with the Rangers all winter. If the news is true, he will take over designated duties in Arlington, Texas, where he boasts a 394/.471/.705 batting line in 50 career games. Twitter.com JimBowdenIV

Also getting Khalil Greene to be the utility inf at the same time really stacks this team (IF HEALTHY!!!)
