For a guy who missed more than three months last year because of a serious circulatory issue, Hank Blalock sure is popular.
St. Louis, Philadelphia, Minnesota and the Los Angeles Dodgers have all inquired about his availability. The Rangers are flattered, but won't make a move, especially since the idea seems to be that clubs are interested in buying Blalock when his stock appears to be low.
"We're not interested in that kind of deal," Rangers GM Jon Daniels said Tuesday after another day at the winter meetings produced nothing in the way of tangible results toward the construction of the 2008 club. "Hank is an original Ranger, and we feel like he's just gotten over the hump with his health. He's youthful and affordable. Somebody would have to make it worth our while to make us interested in talking about him. That hasn't happened."
