2023 Positional Power Rankings: Starting Rotation (No. 1-15)

FanGraphs has our rotation as third best in MLB

Bubba not starting and thinking Leody on IL. That makes Duran and or Smith a starter IMO

I would like yesterday's lineup to be the regular one with the exception of Duran at DH instead of Miller.

Yeah but they wil let Garver DH with not catching

Bet Garver is starting in lineup 2/3 of time
Same as Heim

However I agree with you. Garver hits it hard but timing is off. Miller is on a very short leash

If I'm reading that right, that's the secondary market that is seeing the increase.

The days of going to Ranger games frequently are likely done for me now. I had a season ticket package for years. It is a lot more expensive now to take a whole family

Honestly I enjoy just watching at home with an occasional trip now. Grandkid and my special needs daughter will watch with me a few innings
That is priceless. If son returns to Dallas that may change.
Regardless it is no longer the working man’s sport I remember as a kid hitting the bleachers at Turnpike

I imagine we will most likely go 2 or 3 times a year. My daughter and her family will be coming to town and we will probably go then, but no other plans at present. When I was a kid, my friends and I would go to about 12-15 games a year. Then when I started dating my wife and in our early married years we went 8 to 10 times a year. Then with our kids it was 4 to 6 times a year.

Garver has finished ST hitting 167.

Duran is making a case for himself. Have a number of young players doing very well this spring.

Was just wondering if anyone has tried it for a year and was it worth it. Do they offer all the games.

Alas spring training is over.
The book is closed and another one opens

Are you in the Rangers market? because I think you will be blacked out.
