ARLINGTON -- Because of the 1993 movie, Groundhog Day has become synonymous for doing things over and over again. For a Major League general manager, that can be a wonderful thing.
Just about every general manager has made a trade or signed a free agent that he regrets. For Rangers GM Jon Daniels, he learned a valuable lesson from one of his first trades.
That was on Jan. 6, 2006, when Daniels traded first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, pitcher Chris Young and outfielder Terrmel Sledge for veteran pitchers Adam Eaton and Akinori Otsuka, and Minor League catcher Billy Killian.
