Rangers Projections in 2008

What is going to be the Rangers record in 2008?

I personally think they will be 81-81 which puts them at .500. It's an improvement from last season.

I wish they would win at least 90 games, but I am a down to earth kind of guy.

Good luck Rangers

Millwood and Padilla

Except for a rocky start last time out by Millwood, I have to say that I have been impressed with the 1 and 2 spots in the rotation for most of the year. Padilla has pitched outstanding for the past 3 starts and Millwood has also looked great. Where are all the people who did not have any faith in them going into the season.

Rumor Mill

Ben Broussard has gone from everyday first baseman to a platoon and now to the bench and the Dallas Morning News speculates the only step left might be a ticket out of the Rangers organization. Manager Ron Washington moved Frank Catalanotto to first and that leaves Broussard, hitting .159, a man without a position. (updated: 05/07/2008)
