he could still be a first round pick, stay at TCU another year and medical readshirt come out strong his senior season and he'll still go in round 1

So who becomes the ace of the staff now? Maxwell or Winkler?

I bet he is sorry that he didn't take the 4 million texas offered him when he had the chance. If he doesn't come back, he will have given up more than allot of us will make in salary over our life times.

Actually MLB shot the deal down because of Texas' finacial situation at the time.

Winkler was their Friday-night starter, so I am assuming him.

Someone should have signed when they had a chance......tisk tisk.....

It was my understanding that MLB shot down the 7.2 million that Purke was clear about wanting before the draft and that the Rangers were willing to pay him. Since MLB was footing the bill, they wanted a bonus much closer to slot. Purke refused to sign for around 4 million or so.
