End of Season Awards

07 Oct 2009 18:15:21 PDT

Written by grantlovesbaseball(noreply@blogger.com)
MVP: Michael Young, TEX (.322 AVG, 22 HR, 68 RBI): Michael Young is the Rangers’ MVP even after missing most of September. If he hadn’t done that, he would’ve gotten 200 hits, possibly 25 home runs, and probably 75 RBI’s. That’s pretty good, but he doesn’t even need that to be the MVP.

Opinion: Analyzing the Marlon Byrd Situation, Part II

29 Sep 2009 09:12:16 PDT

Written by Adam J. Morris
But that was before Josh Hamilton and Chris Davis tanked, before the catchers decided not to hit, and before the weak offense derailed the Rangers 2009 playoffs hopes. That was before I realized the Rangers need more offense, and aren't really in a position to deal bats away.
