Cheers to John Hart!

We never got to say it while he was here so let's give credit to Texas Rangers' former GM John Hart for not bringing Kris Benson to Texas when he had the chance. Benson, who had a history of arm trouble but intriguing potential, has underachieved the last two seasons and will miss all of the 2007 season following rotator cuff surgery.

So, Mr. Hart, you did plenty to send this team back to the pre-Johnny Oates era, but this was not a part of it. Thank you, sir.
