I doubt the Rangers are or will be sorry because I think getting to the World Series is a pretty good accomplishment and Cliff Lee certainly helped to get them there. I also think in many of these kind of trades prospects become suspects. Smoak looks like he will be a nice player, but the jury is still out, and the Rangers seem to have a pretty good young first basemen themselves.
