*Patient* But here is what I would do as GM of the Texas Rangers.

1. Buy a fake mustache
2. Wear fake mustache
3. Buy bus tickets to Mexico
4. Ride the bus to Mexico
5. Become friends with El Chapo
6. Get a stable job with El Chapo
7. Return Beltre and Andrus to their childhood homes

Patient*

Note: Sometimes the best make mistakes.

You're the worst member on any online forum.

It's called being sarcastic zero.

Stop calling him zero when we all know you are zero

Here is the proposed Starting Depth Chart for the Rangers SO FAR:
Like I said this is what I have at the time. Please leave feedback on what you would do and please use stats and other reasons to back up why you woul do it. REMEMBER, I'm still working things out on here. I'm not just really basing it off of what I would do, I'm just taking account info from Rangers info, trade rumors, and some stats that I look at. I wish I had the moneyball book to read how billy beane did it. I will do the 40-man Roster, Active Roster, and maybe the AAA and AA later. I may add some guys, then swap them, so nothing is set and finalized. I plan to take into account of what you guys voice in as well. Thanks guys!
Remember this isn't a completed depth chart, it's only the starters.

C
Jonathan Lucroy

1B
Mitch Moreland

2B
Rougned Odor

SS
? (Will weigh some options, opinions will work as always)

3B
Adrian Beltre

LF
Delino DeShields

CF
Carlos Gomez(I don't know about this one yet, I do like his powerful right handed bat though. Weighing options still, opinions will work)

RF
Josh Hamilton with another guy to help vs. lefties. Hamilton will play more though. Opinions can help on this one

DH
Prince Fielder

2016 Texas Rangers 25-Man Roster

*Can someone provide me with contacts for guys on my roster, and how much they'll plan to make in 2016*

I'll edit this post as I go on, I'll make other rosters later. Remember, I'm only putting the players I'm assured will return next year.

Catchers
Jonathan Lucroy (I'll show proposed trade later, if I haven't yet)
Robinson Chirinos (He works well with the staff, so I will have him still as a back-up)

Infielders
Adrian Beltre (Keeper)
Prince Fielder (Keeper)
Mitch Moreland (Keeper, I call him "Big Country")
Rougned Odor (Keeper, could mature into superstar)
*Adam Rosales* Should I keep him or get another guy? I LOVE his versatility

Outfielders
Carlos Gomez (I'll show proposed trade later)
Delino DeShields (Keeper)
Josh Hamilton (I have to keep him for $6 million, great bargain for price, I'll take anything)

Pitchers
Yu Darvish (Hopefully he returns healthy)
Derek Holland (Feel the same about him as Darvish, would like him as a #3 or #4 starter)
Cole Hamels (Just wishful thinking)
Sam Freeman (JD probably loves him)
Shawn Tolleson (Want him to be setup man next year, once we acquire proven closer)
Martin Perez (#5 starter)
Nick Martinez (Longman out of bullpen, I like his makeup and so does JD)
Keone Kela (Young guy, should mature up well)
Ken Giles (New Surrounding, I know he wasn't on same page with coaches in Philly)

That list is horrible on so many levels. That's a 51-111 team right there. At best.

BREAKING NEWS: The Texas Rangers just acquired their prized possession. The Rangers have acquired LHP Cole Hamels, RHP Ken Giles, and cash considerations in a Blockbuster Deal. The Phillies will retain youngsters Jorge Alfaro, Jerad Eickhoff, Michael De Leon, and a player to be named later. Many are speculating if the PTBNL is OF Nomar Mazara. Neither club has confirmed yet though. In Hamels, the Rangers acquire a proven starter who will at least be with the club through 2018. Giles will go along in the Rangers bullpen, providing some relief to the taxed Texas Bullpen.

Cool

That trade is just terrible!

BREAKING NEWS: The Texas Rangers have struck yet again. This time, they upgrade at catcher. The Rangers have acquired C Jonathan Lucroy from the Milwaukee Brewers for Prospects Ryan Cordell and Hanser Alberto. The deal works for both sides, as Milwaukee looks to build for the future up the infield, and Texas gets an offensive and defensive upgrade in Lucroy.

This thread is just terrible
