Beat In The Head

There is a term that is used when one person completely fools another person into giving them something. That term is "beat in the head". And that is exactly what happened to the Texas Rangers. On July 28th they traded OF Kevin Mench, RHP Francisco Cordero, OF Laynce Nix, and minor leaguer Julian Cordero for outfielders Carlos Lee and and Nelson Cruz.

First off Mench and Lee are both good average hitters. Mench is young and is expected to develop into a power hitter. Without a shadow of a doubt Lee is a much better hitter and is an RBI machine but to give up a closer, a prospect, and a young OF in Laynce Nix for him is way too much.

On the other hand Lee may spark Texas into a hot streak, and the same goes for the Brewers and Kevin Mench.
