Texas Rangers’ Josh Hamilton excited by the arrival of Yu Darvish – MLB News
The All-Star outfielder of the Texas Rangers’ Josh Hamilton has expressed his hope and enthusiasm that Yu Darvish will have every opportunity in the clubhouse to fit in. The Rangers who are known to have always relied on a strong pitching line-up now have
a virtually invincible pitcher in their fold.
Having seen Yu Darvish’s pitching on video, Hamilton positively thinks that the pitcher is pretty dominating. That is the reason why there is a surprising bit of excitement in the team to see Yu Darvish.
"I think it's pretty cool ... I think it's awesome," Hamilton said. "It's a great opportunity for him, a great opportunity for the Rangers, our fans and our organization. I haven't seen him pitch in person, but I have seen him on video and he looks pretty
dominating.”
Hamilton also thinks that Yu Darvish will enjoy pitching in the Texas Rangers with the kind of team-mates he has. There hardly seems any bit of exaggeration in what the accomplished outfielder says about the pitcher.
Josh said, "I think he'll enjoy pitching in Texas. I think he'll love being here. He'll fit right into the clubhouse, we'll make sure of that."
Part of the reason, among other things, in the Texas Rangers’ success has been their strong pitching line-up. The amalgamation of the young, ambitious, experienced and strong has set the Rangers apart from their contemporaries.
This is what Yu Darvish will also get to see once he has formally begun throwing. Pitchers like Colby Lewis, Derek Holland, Matt Harrison and Neftali Feliz at his side will be a great experience, something that he will go a long way to cherish.
There is also no dispute that those pitchers will feel incredibly strong now with the arrival of Yu Darvish. What is being predicted now is that the Rangers will be extremely tough contenders to take on once the season begins.
To have a power-arm starter like Yu Darvish will be any team’s dream. Now that the Rangers have the pitcher in their possession, it is expected they will be able to win their first World Series with his help.
