It just happened that we had more of a need in center field. We all knew 'X' can play. Certainly, this would have been the year that would have provided a great opportunity to play one of the corner positions. But in this outfield here, we thought it was more important to go get a guy who can play center field.
More Quotes from Kevin Towers:
They were positioned in the right place, ... The ball Loretta hit was a good pitch that he hit hard down the line and Nunez happened to be in the right spot. Sanders happened to be in the right spot on (Dave) Roberts' ball. It was almost the identical ball that Edmonds hit and we couldn't get to.Kevin Towers

The Rangers knew they had a commodity. The only way they were going to part with him was if some team grossly overpaid. I don't blame (them). I'd do the same if I were in that position.
