The Texas Rangers are still looking to improve their lineup despite their failed attempt to land Jim Thome and Manny Ramirez reports  Anthony Andro of the Star-Telegram.

“If we can still look to improve we will,” Rangers GM, Jon Daniels said. “One of the things we have looked at recently — it’s no secret we were in on Thome — would be a veteran hitter to complement the rest of the lineup. How does that guy fit exactly? It’s one of those things you might not be able to perfectly define in January.”

Andro said that the team didn’t specify whether they’re looking for a full-time player or a bench player. Michael Young is slated to be the team’s primary DH and according Daniels he’s confident that Mitch Moreland could be the team’s first baseman.

One option available on the market is Vladimir Guerrero, but Daniels doesn’t think he’s a possibility because Guerrero would likely want to have a full-time role. Nolan Ryan, on the other hand still thinks Guerrero could be a possibility according to the Dallas Morning News.

“They were looking for a two-year contract and we had agreed with him and his agent that it was a mutual option this year, so we agreed to let them go out on the market and see what the market bared. And he hadn’t been able, to this point, to get a two-year contract. Is there still a possibility that he could end up signing with us? Yeah, there is. But I’m not for sure what other interest is out there as far as he is concerned. I think that will play out in the next 20 days before spring training. … You’d love to have that bat, another right-handed bat on the bench, or him DHing when Michael Young is playing a position. That will obviously come into play in the decision of where he’s going to go. How many at-bats he thinks he’s going to get somewhere.”

The Rangers could also look at veteran third baseman/ first baseman Troy Glaus, who can platoon at first base, DH or come off of the bench for the Rangers.

Glaus could be a bargain for the Rangers, and he brings his previous American League West experience to the table. The veteran third baseman still has some pop left in his bat, and could help the Rangers defend their American League Championship.
