At this time of the year, there are some that want the Rangers to just go for it. Damn the farm system and acquire what is needed to make a deep run at the playoffs. And that was the way of things pre-lockout, as the Rangers just traded all their prospects for veterans and generally those trades didn’t help the team to get to the playoffs, let along make a run. After the lockout, though, general manager Glen Sather played it smart and made choice trades at the deadline, which didn’t hurt the farm system, while helped the main club in its back depth. This trading deadline was an example of that.
