Lee - Short Moment in the Sun for the Rangers

I was on record as being against the Lee trade, but changed my mind during the playoff run.  Along with Nolan Ryan, Lee brought credibility to a franchise that had none.  However I never seriously thought he would sign here.  This is a football market and a baseball franchise utterly devoid of tradition.  With no connection to TX there was little chance.  Going to a market where baseball matters and playing for an organization with some history and a chance to win championships in the short term were obviously strong factors.  I don't blame him for a second and I'll continue to enjoy watching him.  Now, what decisions will the Rangers make for their staff?
