The first half of the 2017 season is in the books, and the Rangers hitters had what could best be described as a mixed bag of performances during that time.
Joey Gallo, expected to start the season in AAA, has done solid work, showing you can be a productive major league hitter even if you’re on pace to set a league record for strikeouts. Nomar Mazara has built on last season’s rookie campaign. Delino DeShields has been getting on base. Robinson Chirinos has been terrific, while Carlos Gomez and Adrian Beltre have missed time with injuries, but have been good when they’ve been on the field.
On the other hand, the offense has been greatly slowed by poor performances from three players expected to be key contributors — Rougned Odor, Mike Napoli and Jonathan Lucroy. Odor has heated up of late, and both Napoli and Lucroy have shown some signs of improvement, but the numbers for the three of them so far this year aren’t anywhere close to what the Rangers were hoping for, or need.
