Ranger's Season So Far

At this point in the season the Rangers are three games over five hundred and in first place in the American League West (a.k.a the american league worst). In all aspects of the team there are both things to get excited about and things to get worried about.
When it comes to hitting, Vladimir Guerroro has been outstanding at home games but struggles with the away games. Josh Hamilton and Michael Young are struggling some to get into a consistent hitting groove while Nelson Cruz when healthy has been hitting the ball all over the park. The return of Ian Kinsler will hopefully provide some more offensive fire power.
On defense there are a few too many errors being made by Elvis Andrus but since he is young and has been hitting well along with making spectacular defensive plays that situation should improve itself.
The starting pitching has seen outstanding pitching from CJ Wilson and Colby Lewis while Scott Feldman has struggled and Rich Harden continues his seemingly neverending quest to find the strike zone. Hopefully the addition of Dutch Oven will improve the pitching and Scott Feldman will rediscover what made him an effective pitcher last season.
The bullpen has seen Frankie Francisco struggle to the point of losing his job as a closer to Neftali Feliz. Darren Oliver has done everything asked of him and then some as a set up man but the rest of the bullpen is inconsistent. Feliz has the ability to be a an outstanding closer but needs to work on the location of his pitches because even 99 mile an hour fastballs if thrown over the middle of the plate end up as home runs in the major leagues.
It is way too early to tell if the Rangers will improve like in some seasons or deteriorate like in many other seasons. If additional players are needed, they will need to come from their minor league farm system since the sale of the Rangers currently looks like it will be delayed for a long time. I'm sure every Ranger fan is hoping for the best but won't be surprised if the team regresses and we see the dog days of summer again. Stay tuned.
