Kinsler
5) Name the Ranger player who has been caught stealing the most times this season

Meh...
not bad. Not sure how I forgot about the 7 game winning streak though.
Kinsler has walked more than I thought he did as well.

Holly Madison is rocking that outfit. Love the high socks too. The pic where she follows through is highly recommended.

That's who that is?
When I glanced at her picture on the morning post, I thought “meh – she’s OK but kinda goofy looking.” Wait, I still think that.

Most walks....A. Jones, sounds crazy, but true
He leads the team and has not played much at all since the break, this tells more about the inept rangers team as much as it does about Jones, he can walk, just can’t hit, the rangers team does not walk or hit (well other than homers)

2) FX2, CJ, O’Day, Guardado, Jennings (not sure about this one)
3) Feliz, FX2, CJ, O’Day… I don’t really know the other two, just guessing…..maybe Grilli later on or Jennings earlier in the year.
4) Kinsler
5) Kinsler
6) Kinsler and Byrd, but I thought Cruz was in the mid 70s (on my fantasy team, ya know :P)
7) let’s eliminate – Borbon, Kinsler, Cruz, Andrus….eliminate 1B and C…pretty much left with Byrd, Murphy, Young
8) 5
9) 5
10) has to be Holland, Millwood or Feldman based on innings. Gotta go with Holland
