The Texas Rangers picked up a starting pitcher on Thursday to add to their starting pitching rotation.  Jason Jennings and the Rangers agreed on a one year deal worth $4 million dollars.  Jennings got a pretty deal from the Rangers who really need some pitching help.  I don’t know if I agree with that amount of money, but when you need pitching you are going to have to pay for it.

What do you other Ranger’s fans think?  Did they overpay for Jason Jennings?

Outfielder Marlon Byrd has decided to sign a one year contract with the Texas Rangers.  The Contract will be for $1.8 million dollars.  Pretty good money for Byrd would will pretty much just be a bench player and fill in for Josh Hamilton or Milton Bradley.

There were rumors a few weeks ago that the Chicago Cubs were looking to sign Byrd, but that didn’t happen and he is back with the Texas Rangers.  I really don’t think he will help the team out that much to be honest.  What do you think?  Should the Rangers have just used a younger player to take Byrd’s spot on the roster?
