WOW, Kal! A fantastic job on this blog! I couldn’t agree more about the outfield and bullpen situation in Texas. They have to have someone that can get the game to Cordero or they will see alot of games slip away from them, again.
I like the Millwood move and that helps them, alot. Sure, his numbers will not be as good because like you said, he is a flyball/strikeout pitcher. But, he should eat up alot of innings and not completely wear that bullpen out. That is where I think it will help them the most.
They have alot of question marks and it will be interesting to see how those changes will affect whether or not they will contend this season.
Again, great job of writing and research, Kal! I will keep an eye on your blog for future posts.
I’m signing off,

First time blog reader here, and I am pleased with what you have written. I have been working on my own Texas Rangers preview for my own blog and I am hopeful you will check it out.

Hey dude,
As a Rangers fan, I appreciate your blog. Clearly, you are a serious baseball guy. The talk around Dallas is that we are optimistic, even if that means we’re being foolish. If anything, it’s nice to see the Rangers make some substantive off-season moves. I’ll tip my hat to the new youngster GM John Daniels. We’re happy to get a consistent fielding presence at second base.
As you said, we’ll just have to wait and see how the pitching matches up to the competition…and how the new additions to the team handle pitching in the Ballpark.
Keep up the good work.
peace.
