En principio pensaba que la oportunidad de los Rangers de al menos terminar entre los primeros lugares de la Divisi\u00c3\u00b3n Oeste, descansaba en la posibilidad de que algunos de sus principales prospectos lograran establecerse este a\u00c3\u00b1o en la Gran Carpa. Elvis Andrus est\u00c3\u00a1 teniendo una temporada aceptable para un novato. Derek Holland fue subido y tiene marca de 1-2 y efectividad de 5.70 en 23.2 innings.<\/p>\n
Sin embargo los pitchers establecidos de Texas han demostrado que al menos en este primer mes pueden fajarse con la ofensiva de la Liga Americana. Kevin Milwood tiene marca de 4-4 con efectividad de 3.25. Matt Harrison 4-4 y 5.43. Vicente Padilla 3-2 y 4.71. Brandon McCarthy 4-2 y 4.67. Scott Feldman 3-0 y 4.04. Frank Francisco 1-0, 10 salvados, 0.00. Jason Jennings 2-1 y 3.98. C.J. Wilson 2-2, 2 salvados y 3.38.<\/p>\n
Quiz\u00c3\u00a1s la efectividad del cuerpo de lanzadores est\u00c3\u00a9 distante de un buen rendimiento. Pero se han apertrechado tras la intensa ofensiva de los Rangers para lograr las victorias en este comienzo de campa\u00c3\u00b1a.<\/p>\n
Andrus est\u00c3\u00a1 demostrando que puede jugar en Grandes Ligas. A\u00c3\u00ban falta mucha temporada pero todo apunta a que est\u00c3\u00a1 haciendo los ajustes necesarios para establecerse tanto a la defensiva como con el bate.<\/p>\n
Una muestra de c\u00c3\u00b3mo los Rangers sorprenden con sus propectos respaldados por los jugadores de cierta experiencia ocurri\u00c3\u00b3 el viernes 22 de mayo de 2009 cuando vencieron 6-5 a los Astros de Houston en su casa. Nelson Cruz son\u00c3\u00b3 cuadrangular en el d\u00c3\u00a9cimo inning para ponerle n\u00c3\u00bameros definitivos al marcador. Holland realiz\u00c3\u00b3 una apertura aceptable al lanzar 5.2 innings, 3 carreras limpias, 5 hits. Andrus realiz\u00c3\u00b3 varias jugadas defensivas al final del juego, incluidos 2 dobleplays. Francisco se acredit\u00c3\u00b3 su d\u00c3\u00a9cimo salvado, s\u00c3\u00b3lo acept\u00c3\u00b3 1 hit y ponch\u00c3\u00b3 2 en el cierre del d\u00c3\u00a9cimo.<\/p>\n
Michael Young, Ian Kinsler, Josh Hamilton, Cruz, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, conforman un nucleo de jugadores establecidos donde descansa la ofensiva de Texas.<\/p>\n
Y en las menores se siguen preparando los prospectos Neptal\u00c3\u00ad Feliz, Kasey Kiker, Julio Borb\u00c3\u00b3n y \u00c3\u0081ngel Beltr\u00c3\u00a9, para continuar la zaga de buenas noticias con que los Rangers han comenzado esta temporada y amenazan extenderla hasta mantenerse en disputa por el liderato de la Divisi\u00c3\u00b3n Oeste de la Liga Americana hasta el \u00c3\u00baltimo d\u00c3\u00ada de la temporada.<\/p>\n
English Translation <\/strong><\/p>\n At first, I thought that the Texas Rangers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 chance of finishing among the leaders of the American League West Division, depended upon the performance of some of its shining prospects. Elvis Andrus is having an acceptable season for a rookie. Derek Holland was raised to MLB and has 1-2 and 5.70 ERA in 23.2 innings.<\/p>\n But at least in the first month of season, the experienced pitchers have showed that they can battle against the American League sluggers. Kevin Milwood is 4-4 with an ERA of 3.25, Matt Harrison 4-4 and 5.43. Vicente Padilla 3-2 and 4.71. Brandon McCarthy 4-2 and 4.67. Scott Feldman 3-0 and 4.04. Frank Francisco 1-0, 10 saves, 0.00. Jason Jennings 2-1 and 3.98. C.J. Wilson 2-2, 2 saves and 3.38.<\/p>\n Maybe the pitching staff ERA is far from an acceptable performance. But the Rangers offensive department have provided runs enough to get the wins at this starting of the season.<\/p>\n Andrus is confirming that he can play in MLB. The season is just beginning but he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s making all the adjustments to establish in the field and with the bat.<\/p>\n An example of how the Rangers amaze with their prospects supported by the experienced players hapenned on Friday, May 22nd, 2009. That day, they defeated 6-5 the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. Nelson Cruz smacked a dinger in the tenth inning to give the Rangers the win. Holland worked for 5.2 innings, 3 earned runs, 5 hits. Andrus made several defensive plays at the end of the game including 2 doubleplays. Francisco got his tenth save of the season. He only accepted 1 hit, and struckout 2.<\/p>\n Michael Young, Ian Kinsler, Josh Hamilton, Cruz, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, are a nucleous of experienced players where the Texas Rangers offensive rests.<\/p>\n And down in the farm the prospects continue preparing for the call. Neptal\u00c3\u00ad Feliz, Kasey Kiker, Julio Borb\u00c3\u00b3n y \u00c3\u0081ngel Beltr\u00c3\u00a9 are some of the principal young players that could be increasing the good news for the Texas Rangers in the 2009 season. If the Rangers keep playing the way they have started the season they will make true their greatest dream of fighting for the American League West Division title until the last day of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":75,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
