I understand that argument GSCOTTAR. The why did he get better with the Rangers and not us argument. Although it did take him 3 more seasons to get there.
I just don’t like the Cardinals were dumb and the Rangers were smart argument. Because the Cardinals at least got cash. The Rangers were willing to give him away for nothing. He was basically what James Naile or Kramer Robertson were to the Cardinals 2 seasons back (end of roster fluff that is expendable). And then no other organization offered to take him on for free. Just like when the Cards DFA’d Naile. Because no one saw much promise in him.
