C.J. Wilson out. Yu Darvish in?
The Texas Rangers posted a $51.7 million posting fee for 25 year old pitcher Yu Darvich & now have 30 days to sign him to a big league contract. The Darvich posting fee is even larger than the one the Sox paid to sign Dice-K in 2006.
Japanese pitchers are iffy business in the U.S. bigs. But Nolan Ryan continues to build the Rangers organization in the area where they were the weakest - pitching. If nothing else, it shows the Rangers are not going to relinquish their AL crown in 2012 to New York, Boston, Detroit or Anaheim without a fight.
We'll see very quickly if the the risk is worth the reward.
