What is getting interesting is that now that Mark Teixeira is signed away as a Yankee (good riddens), Blalock will be grabbing down more interest. With the catchers, it has to be a deal that the Rangers just can not say no to for them to part with one of them. It has to be sweet. And they are feilding a lot of telephone calls still.
