And we wonder why the Rangers don't win...

Why do we wonder why the Rangers don't win? When you make moves like trading John Danks and another stud to the White Sox for Brandon McCarthy, you don't deserve to win. But that isn't even what I'm complaining about this time. Eric Gagne was activated from the DL and of course, he's going back to the closers role. If it ain't broken don't fix it! You know Gagne is going to get hurt again and Otsuka probably doesn't enjoy being toyed with like this. Let Otsuka close, and let Gagne be the setup man -- in between vacations to the DL.

Fantasy Impact: I doubt anybody dropped Gagne when he went on the DL but clearly, he needs to be on your roster if somebody did. And, don't go about dropping Otsuka, you'll regret it when Gagne makes his next trip to the DL -- in probably a week or so.

Hey big guy, I am on the fence on a deal and need an impartial view. I have been offered Nick Markakis for Joe Borowski. I have another closer in Al Reyes. As they say on Law and Order should I make the deal?

Who are you and where do you get off calling me big guy? Just Kidding. That is a deal you have to take. Borowksi is on the verge of losing his job as the closer. Not taking this deal would be a huge mistake.
