2014 MLB Team Previews – Rangers
Since 2010, Texas has evolved into a perennial World Series contender, and after winning 91 games in 2013, it won’t be good enough if the Rangers cannot get into the playoffs this season.

For the second year in a row the Rangers lineup was poached by their division foe Anaheim Angels. Last year it was CJ Wilson and this year it was Josh Hamilton.
The Rangers did not have a very good off-season, as they lost out on signing prized free agent Prince Fielder and they lost starting pitcher C.J. Wilson to the rival L.A. Angels. The Rangers will have, pretty much, the same team as they did last season, but that is not a bad thing since they came within 1 out of winning the World Series.
Hard to believe, as some of us still have VERY cold temperatures outside, that the Boys of Summer are almost back. But it’s true; teams have started reporting to 2011 Major League Baseball training camps and it’s time to start our team-by-team baseball gambling previews for the year.
