Well, I guess this is the best time to do this, with about a week to go before the season starts. Atleast for the Rangers, that is. What are your predictions/comments on what's happened so far?
Well, I only kept up with the Rangers spring training, so I can comment on that. They have a LOT of young guys, obviously, but they are doing well. Gerald Laird, likely their starting catcher this year, is hitting .476 in the spring. However, the issue always has been with the Rangers' pitching. They could have found one good starter, with Ricardo Rodriguez, a VERY young guy who has a load of potential (last year, with the Indians, he started 2-0 with a 1.35 ERA before injuries ended his year). With Kenny Rogers, a proven veteran, R.A. Dickey, who had a great rookie year last season, and others, the Rangers very well could FINALLY do something.
So, describe your teams, and what they could do. I would look for the Red Sox to beat out the Yankees this year, finally, and possibly win the World Series.
