What are the Rangers doing?

For building a last-place team with one of the worst records in all of baseball, the Texas Rangers gave general manager Jon Daniels an extension today on his contract.

Boy, that will keep teams from coming after the Boy Genius.

Just exactly what has Daniels done to earn a contract extension?

He had a team that was 80-82 last year. This year, well, 80-82 would take a couple of strong months to get there.

I understand stability. But why contractually lock up a guy who hasn't proven anything?

Remember,just last year Reds general manager Wayne Krivsky was a genius. This year, not so much.

But at least Krivsky had last year. Daniels, we're still waiting.
