Hamilton
Bill James' projections a far more optimistic than others this year, FWIW, prediction an OPS just shy of 1.000.

I hope that the Rangers are either surprisingly very good -- within a game or three of the lead by June -- or very bad, out of it by Memorial Day.  Halfway will make it too tempting to be buyers when they might be better off waiting until next year.  

A working class hero is something to be.

We need to see the rebuilding all the way through. Hopefully potential contention wouldn't jeopardize that.

If MY is the face of the franchise,
Hamilton is the franchise commodity.  He above every other player is the one who can put Ranger jerseys on kids from coast to coast and push attendance back toward the 3 million mark.

Maybe it's better to think of Hamilton as the face of the franchise and Young as the heart of the franchise.

Hmm...
Lets wait for Hamilton to actually play a real game as a Ranger before we declare him anything...

excellent article Adam
I think you are on the cusp of your prime blogging/writing/analyzing years.

And then...

I was reading that article
thinking, "I know this writer, who is it?"  Nice work Adam.

Thanks
It was edited a bit, to take out a couple of the AJM-esque run-on sentences, but I'm glad it was familiar...

Nice Article though.

If the Rangers are rebuilding...
I say they flip AJM at the deadline. He's been around for a while, and I bet the Rangers could get some good young blogging prospects in return for him.
