== Five questions: Texas Rangers ==
德州遊騎兵 2010 五大問
This could be the year the Rangers finally get over the hump. Of course,
prognosticators have been saying something very similar ever since 2004,
when Buck Showalter led a suddenly A-Rod-less Rangers team to an 89-73
record with a lineup that featured a quartet of under-30 infielders who
were all capable of driving in 100 runs and hitting 30 homers.
Rather than being the beginning of something special, though, it turned
out to be more just more of the same. The Rangers never developed any
pitching to go along with the offensive core, first baseman Mark Teixeira
and second baseman Alfonso Soriano were eventually traded, the league
figured out Hank Blalock and Showalter was shown the door.
今年可能是遊騎兵終於要擺脫低潮大躍進的一年。當然啦~ 這句話自從2004年後，
每年季初都被預言者拿出來說一次。2004那年，總教練Showalter帶領著少了A-Rod
的遊騎兵打下了89勝73負的成績。那時的遊騎兵內野是四個不到30歲，卻都有打出
單季30轟+100打點實力的重砲部隊(詳見註1.)。
