The Rangers have acquired lefty starter Matt Harrison and lefty reliever Beau Jones to complete the Mark Teixeira trade.  Harrison was the Braves #3 rated prospect coming into the season according to Baseball America.  Harrison has started 20 games in AA ball so far this season and he was 5-7 with a 3.39 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP.  In 116.2 innings this season he has allowed 118 hits, walked 34 batters and whiffed 78.  Beau Jones is a 20 year old lefty who was 5-0 with 3 saves, a 4.63 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP in 26 games (1 start).  He has thrown 56.1 innings and he has allowed 48 hits, walked 26 batters and whiffed 49.  This was quite a haul by the Rangers as their future now appears much brighter than it did only 24 hours ago.
