I still think the Rangers have a good ballclub, but that meltdown couldn’t have helped things either last September, even though they did make the postseason, they should have won the AL West. You think this might be Ron’s last season if they don’t win the AL West?

JD started dropping the ball last offseason in the handling of Michael Young who he could have traded when Michael asked him to and got a haul cause he was still producing at a high level I still think if he played regularly at a given position he can still put up adequate numbers! THERE IS NO EXCUSE NOT TO HAVE OFFERED JOSH THE DEAL the ANGELS GOT HIM FOR! It really was a brilliant move by Arte Moreno and co. So JD better start kissing Nolan’s ass cause as Nolan goes so do most of the fans like me! NOLAN IS ONE OF THE MAIN REASON THE RANGERS ARE NOW COMPETITIVE! He’s the reason for such popularity for baseball now in DFW area! JD BETTER STAR SHAPING UP or I’m afraid Nolan will find a new franchise to run!

Then there is 3B Beltre’s chronic hamstring issue. Olt will be back.

The Rangers might have been better served to trade him in the offseason for pitching.
