The Rangers bid 51.7 million dollars just to talk to Yu Darvish, and they are expected to give him a 5 year 70 million dollar contract. I went over Yu Darvish's scouting last week and pretty much he's the balls.
This is a great signing for Texas because he immediately takes over the CJ Wilson roll and since Neftali Feliz will move to the rotation. Alexi Ogando, Colby Lewis, Derek Holland, Matt Harrison and Scott Feldman provide manager Ron Washington with an abundance of alternatives for the rest of the rotation.
I expect a lot out of Yu, but I also expect a ton out of all asian pitchers. At least he's not in the AL East.
