Finally, a Rangers team your not afraid to been seen in public with! New ownership a Texan can be proud of lead by The Express Nolan Ryan, who is out to put a nookie on the the American league. Certainly the addition of Cliff Les gave the team that boost of confidence it needed, but like Mike Tyson they didn't know what to do when their Ace got punched in the face by Hollyfield aka the Giants causing him to loose both world series games that he pitched. Even after the 1-4 world series showing from now on they will be cursed with higher expectations.
Top off season priorities... Can they sign Cliff Lee? Losing two world series games might just have taken his next contract down from $150 million to $120 million tiff tiff. Rangers or Yankees, let the Lee sweepstakes begin! Side note, Mrs. Lee was none to pleased with the way the Yankee fans treated her or her husband. Looks like possibly more shopping trips to The Boot Barn. Will Vlad the Impaler get an encore, he's 36 and a classic DH. The battery... Molina could be done and they need more depth in the bullpen. Joshua has the sweetest swing in MLB and should win the AL MVP...= a long term contract???
I don't know if the Rangers will be making World Series runs every year, but I do think they will be contenders for the next few years. No way they're going to let Joshua get away from them, he's officially the face of that franchise(behind Nolan Ryan of course). With Michael Young, Ian Kinsler and Nelson Cruz they have a rather solid group of young guys to build around. As far as Cliff Lee, it's a toss up as to what will happen with him. It's never easy to win a bidding war with the Yankees.
ReplyDeleteLee chokes.
ReplyDeleteVlad is washed up.
Molina is done.
As for Hamilton, he is natural hitter, with tons of talent, who they will keep.
