As for Darvish, espn radio said this morning that to get into the Darvish sweepstakes and ultimately sign him will cost the Rangers over $100 million. But, to sign CJ will cost around $75-$80 million.

CJ is the better value in my opinion, and safer bet. Signing him for 75-85 million and if we pick up someone like Oswalt on the cheap would still allow us the funds to sign some of the big guns. How can you not count the 50m it will take just to talk to the guy. It is still 50 m coming out of the Rangers pockets.
i'm not the one who would be counting the 50M. most teams that get involve in these things look at that as outside their baseball funds. they set aside a certain amount for the operational payroll.
i agree in that CJ should be the #1 target and then Michael Gonzalez and then if we could get Oswalt on the cheap this team could seriously look at Pujols while still signing Hamilton, Napoli, Kinsler & Cruz to decent contracts.
