Will the Rangers make a blockbuster trade at the deadline(Blockbuster defined as one of our top five prospects and one top ten prospect being included)? No, the Rangers, at most, will make one or two minor trades


Between Leiter, White, and Kent, who will throw the most innings for the Rangers this year, and how many will they throw? Leiter - 40


Which player starting the year in the minors will have the biggest impact on the team? If Church starts in the minors then it will be him. Otherwise, it will be Foscue.


Which two players will be the most pleasant surprises this season? Dunning and Foscue, only because the expectaions are so high for the two ROY candidates, Carter and Langford.


Which player will be the most disappointing surprises this season? Taveras and Lowe


Which 3 to 5 minor leaguers, will do the most this season, to put themselves into the conversation as being big contributors for the Rangers in 2025? Leiter, Foscue, Corniell, A. Kelly, and Teodo, and most likely, in that order. Porter might have something to say about it as well.


Which prospects, who start in the minors, will get the most time in the big leagues this year? Since the Rangers still have moves to be made this one will be difficult. I will guess the first one of the following who doesn't start the season with the Rangers. Church, Foscue, Crim, Wendzel, Kelly


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

I think we will win it all again this year.

I think eventually Taveras will be benched or traded.

I do not expect Scherzer to remain healthy and I would put the over/under for his number of starts at 14.5. I think he gets 14 starts this year.

I expect we will end the year with Leiter, Porter and Corniell all seen as future pieces of the rotation. I mean fairly near future, like 2024 or 2025.

I think Langford and Carter are both going to have fantastic seasons.

Josh Jung is going to have a great season.

Langford wins ROY. Langford .285 and 35 HRs, Carter .305 and 20 HRs.

Leiter. Around 40 innings. He'll be on the playoff roster working out of the pen.

Foscue.

Urena and Knizner.

Church, Leiter and Foscue.

What other miscellaneous thoughts do you have about what you are expecting this season?
Rangers will face the Braves in the World Series and it will come down to 6 or 7 games. One of the best WS in decades.
