Remember that Rangers fans were once livid about their return for Teixeira?

Yeah, I'll be interested to hear what Rany has to say. Without knowing anything about these guys and just checking out their stats, I really like it. It looks to me like Cain is the centerpiece of the trade, he's got a freakin' awesome line from last year. Not to mention, the addition by subtraction of Betancourt. Escobar's line from last year in an "off" year, his first in the majors was almost as good as Betancourt's career year. Jeffress looks like the throw-in piece to the whole deal, and he was at one time their #1 prospect.
