Just as we all expected, it is Robinson Chirinos, Joey Gallo and Elvis Andrus carrying the offense in the first six weeks of the season...
From a long-term standpoint, the performances of Gallo and Elvis are very encouraging, as it suggests that 1) Joey Gallo is ready to be a meaningful part of the team, and in particular, the offense going forward, and 2) Elvis Andrus’s strong 2016 season may not have been a fluke. Both guys are key pieces for the Rangers going forward.
On the other hand, there’s a lot of ugliness from guys who were counted on to be key contributors. Ryan Rua and Jurickson Profar got off to awful starts, Mike Napoli is looking like he may be done, and Rougned Odor, has not hit well. Compounding the problem is Jonathan Lucroy’s poor start, since the Rangers gave up a lot of talent to land him, and they need him to perform this year, either so he’s contributing while they are competing for a playoff spot, or so that they can move him and try to mitigate some of the damage they did to the farm system to land him.
