Which recent to somewhat recent Ranger team do you think is/was the best? Vote and discuss.

It may be to early to say but my thoughts are it is really close between the 2011 team and this years team. The 2011 team had a more powerful offense but I think pitching favors this seasons team even if the numbers don't exactly agree. I think I slightly favor the 2011 team as the most talented team but I still like the 2016 Ranger's chances of getting it done in the WS more. I think they do have better leadership and are more prepared overall

2011 Rangers and it's not close imo. The only edge this team has is their 1-2 punch at the top of the rotation.

2011.

They were one fly ball away from winning it all. Until the 2016 team can get that far there really is no comparison.

I voted 2011 too. That team was really, really good.

This year's version is a hell of a lot of fun and could very well win it all. But there are holes on this year's team that just weren't there in 2011.

Taking the 2011 team untill I see how this years team pitching plays out. Need to see Colby when he rounds into form and if the relief pitching gets more consistent.

2011 is the gold standard for Ranger's teams.

2011 but this years team is probably a close 2nd because of Darvish and Hamels.

In a playoff series, that accounts for a lot.

It's fairly even for the 2011 and this year's team. 2011 had a more powerful lineup with peak Hamilton, Cruz, and Napoli. Defensively, they're fairly even though the 2016 team is better in the outfield. Starting pitching goes clearly to 2016 thanks to Hamels and Darvish being at the top of the rotation. Bullpen is a tossup, I'd give the edge to the current roster. Closer is also a tossup, Feliz was very strong for 2011 but faltered when it mattered most at the end of the season.

If we were able to pair the 2 off it would be a 7 game series I bet.

I believe having a great catcher pushes this team ahead

Pitching and better defense (hopefully). Beltre playing great and my guess Beltran is huge this postseason. I think the seasoning overtakes the talented hitters of the other years
