Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s breakout season, star prospect Josh Jung’s rise, creates a budding situation for Rangers

I almost don’t want the pressure of picking first and possibly screwing that up. Second is easy because you would likely take rocker if the team ahead of you picks Leiter and Leiter if the team ahead of you picks rocker. So if one of them is underwhelming, at least you kind of have an excuse.

The Rangers have been historically bad in 2020. Is Chris Woodward’s message simply not getting through?

Even in the spring of ’72, it was evident the newly-minted Texas Rangers were still little more than warmed-over Washington Senators. Harbingers of a 100-loss...

And your point would be? ha ha ha............This whole love affair, or bullheadedness, the organization has shown for Odor is not even understandable, much less justifiable to me at this junction.......I know JD screwed up to begin with by giving him WAY too much money, but it is what it is, and what it is, is a horrid mistake on JD's part IMO.

Good read

My point is to give Solak as much time as possible at 2b b/c Oder likely won't start next.
