Rangers already in trouble?
I know they say hope springs eternal but this spring training for the Rangers is giving their fans a bad vibe. The Rangers just lost their 7th straight spring training game which under other circumstances is not a cause for concern but with the Rangers and Manager Ron Washington is very worrysome. The distraction created by Washington testing positive for cocaine last summer may be something to difficult to overcome. There is no doubt that the players like to play for Washington and will give their best effort for him but Nolan Ryan and Jon Daniel made a big mistake in not accepting his resignation after his positive drug test. Washington said he used cocaine for the first time when he tested positive for it. He is either lying or stupid beyond words and should not be in a position to make important decisions for the Rangers. The other problem is the injury bug has already hit Josh Hamilton (yet again) and Ian Kinsler this spring and many of their other players like Rich Harden are injury prone as well and likely will miss significant time this season. This is the time for Michael Young to prove he is a worthy leader of the team and to demand accountability and excellence out of his teammates. The players have said they will stand behind their manager and if early on they play like they have been playing in spring training they will quickly lose their manager and the season as well.
