My previous article suggesting something needed to be done to shake things up was posted just half an hour or so before the news that Prince Fielder and Shin-Soo Choo were being moved to the DL. If you do the math, that is about $44 million of this years payroll not contributing during the worst month the Texas Rangers have had this year.
Texas Rangers manager Jeff Banister has appeared to be stuck between a rock and a hard place with the situation involving Prince Fielder. Fielder is a seasoned vet that the Rangers traded for just before the 2014 season, he only played 42 games for the Texas Rangers that year.
