What other miscellaneous thoughts do you have about what you are expecting this season? - The Rangers could overperform and end up in third place (if SEA or LAA underperform). They will not be in the mix for the WC and any sensible person should understand that going into the season.

What other miscellaneous thoughts do you have about what you are expecting this season?

I think our minor league starting pitching will amaze us.

I will keep an eye o the following prospects to see if they can make a jump in what is expected of them. They are, Zavala, Cauley, Saggese, Carter, Morrobel, Mora, Acosta, Thompson, Acuna, Bradford, Kent, and Acker.

I think Ibanez will struggle once we get to the summer.

I don't expect much out of Perez and next to nothing out of Howard.
