Although it didn't make too much noise at the time, the swap involving Josh Hamilton and Edison Volquez now looks very big indeed.

To this point:

Volquez (age 24) -

10-2, 1.71 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 10.42 K/9, 2.44 K/BB.

Hamilton (age 27) -

.315/.361/.586 (.947), 19 HR, 74 RBI

And what about the intangibles? Hamilton has a history of injuries and is one backwards step from a lifetime suspension.

So, pretend you're the Rangers, it's December 21, and you're able to see far enough into the future to see today. Do you still pull the trigger?
