Chris is on an eight-team pace for 2013.

Nelson, 27, appeared in seven games for the Halos but received just nine plate appearances, collecting three singles. The Angels were the third team for which the former No. 9 overall draft pick has played this season, as he also saw time with the Rockies and Yankees before being designated for assignment by each of those clubs as well.

Seems like a good fit for both sides. The Rangers add a solid DH/occasional 1B and Berkman gets to play back home in Texas on a probable contender.

Robothal:

Sources: Berkman deal with #Rangers will be in $10M-$11M range for one year.

Yes. Fat Elvis can probably still hit, and he's going to need more for his HOF case. Not that he cares about that, but it's great having him in the league anyway.

A bit as if the 1988 Red Sox had signed Ray Knight, but what the heck; it's not like it's going to give me '11 World Series flashbacks all summer long. If it does I'll just become an Astros fan.

Let's not say things we can't take back...
