Tailgate Talk

Is a three-peat in the making? The Rangers have finally secured Yu
Darvish for when Pitchers and Catchers report on February 19th. With
Darvish, the pitching rotation is shaping up to look like: Colby
Lewis, Yu Darvish, Matt Harrison, Neftali Feliz, Derek Holland, and
Alexi Ogando. All 6 of them give me the confidence that we can make it to the
Series once again for 2012. Hopefully, Mike Napoli will rebound from
his hurt ankle and get to know the little quirks of Darvish so they
can communicate in sync at the plate.

Good thing Prince Fielder is getting ridiculously overpaid by the
Detroit Tigers, which all but assures Josh Hamilton will be resigned
for this upcoming year. Jon Daniels mentioned he wants Hamilton
locked-in for the long term. Hamilton should be looking to stay
healthy, as it seems his season’s always have injuries. Hopefully
Mike Napoli will rebound from his hurt ankle and get to know the
little quirks of Darvish so they can communicate in sync at the plate.

The extension of Ron Washington’s contract to 2014 is the cherry on
top of an excellent off-season for the Rangers’ staff. Can the
Rangers keep their momentum going and secure their third American
Pennant? It looks like we sure are off to a strong start.

LET’s GO Rangers!!!!!!
