AL West stacked offensively.

The top ten lineups list appeared on MLB.com yesterday. The Rangers weren’t on the list. That’s no surprise. But what doesn’t bode well for the Rangers in this short sixty-game sprint is that three of those top ten are in the American League West.  Can you name them? One hint. […]


How the new place plays.

Rangers manager Chris Woodward was asked by MLB.com’s T.R. Sullivan how the New Ballpark plays.  Here was his response: “The angles of the fence are something I don’t think we were anticipating when we first saw the designs of the stadium. There are a lot of little ones you can’t […]

Where to play Solak?

So the question now is what to do with Nick Solak. He’s a second basemen on a team that has already bought and paid for a second baseman. They had him trying out in center and at third. Now, he is working out at first. Manager Chris Woodward said he […]


Opening day lineups.
