Colby Rasmus To The Rangers?

Would the Rangers ever consider trading Julio Borbon and Tommy Hunter for Colby Rasmus from St. Louis?
-- Shawn M., Carrollton, Texas

This is an extremely fascinating trade proposal that would take a leap of faith on both sides. By trading Hunter, the Rangers leave another hole in a rotation that already took a hit with Lee's departure. The Cardinals have to be convinced that Borbon is a legitimate leadoff hitter and front-line center fielder, and Hunter can be a consistent 13-15 game winner in the rotation. Rasmus is as good of a pick as anybody to have a breakout season in '11. My guess here is the Rangers would be more likely to do this than the Cardinals.
