Rangers move: Matt Wisler- SP, 2nd, 0.5 (Braves) Luke Weaver - SP, 1st, 0.3 (Cardinals) www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=sa599729&position=PBrandon Lowe - 2B, 1st, 0.3 (Rays) **DNP** www.draysbay.com/2015/6/9/8753043/2015-mlb-draft-rays-select-brandon-lowe-in-3rd-roundTi'Quan Forbes- 3B, 1st, 0.3 (Rangers) www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=sa828696&position=3BIndians move: Marcus Stroman- SP, 3rd, 1.0 Rangers cap: -0.4 Indians cap: +0.4 I love Stroman, but Wisler is similar (but not as dominant!) as the short gunslinger--and he's a Brave. I love Luke Weaver's upside, just smooth delivery, easy heat. Lowe and Forbes give me some serviceable pieces in the infield, Lowe having the polish and Forbes having the tool package. Good deal, Rangers (two in one week!) **EDIT: Caps corrected.

Agree. While I give up a nice little quartet, I don't feel I'm giving up any one individual with Stroman's upside. Maybe Weaver, but I think he profiles more as mid-rotation type guy with more modest K totals. Same with Wisler. I view Forbes and Lowe as fringier add-ons to complete the deal. Easy working with you ATL.
