Texas is in 2nd place in the AL West..?

Question

No offense to the Mariners but their not gonna catch up anytime soon and the A's have lost 6 straight. How long do you see Texas in 2nd and why?

Answer 1

Not too long. The WHite Sox will win 2 straight against them to win the series. :)

I actually see them maintaining that for the rest of the season. I don't think they will win wild-card or beat out the Angels for first, but with Kinsler, Hamilton, and Bradley, I can see them there for the whole season. Maybe they will overtake LA next season, or maybe this season! Keep an eye out for these 3 players in 3 years:

Blake Beaven

Engel Beltre

Neftali Feliz

Met all of them. Beaven is super nice, Beltre isn't, and Feliz is nice, but quiet. They should be great players!

Answer 2

They could hold on for a good month or two but I see the A's surging forward

Beane's a brilliant guy and he can do just about everything...except win a WS

but of course, Beane needs some good players right now which he doesn't have so the Rangers could hold on longer and maybe get wildcard?

I dunno

Answer 3

not long because their pitching sucks. i respect their offense, its a scary one, but they need to go out and get a solid pitcher. they are the complete opposite of the A's.

Answer 4

They can finish second by no chance for first.  they have terrible pitching.  i say Oakland takes over second because they are more consistent.  just in a little slump

Answer 5

I think Texas will take second. If they had decent pitching they would be an outstanding team.

Answer 6

Im an A's fan just to let you know before you read this.

Well the Rangers offensive simply haven't stopped hitting.  I honeslty dont think can hit enough to bump them to first, but i think they have a better shot at 2nd place than my A's.  If they can aquire a solid arm, they an really make things interesting in the West however.

Nice Avatar btw.

Answer 7

yeah i know... they're certainly crawling up

why don't ya slow down there, offense needs a break maybe? ;) haha jk jk i knew the rangers were gonna come up to second, second half

i'm hopin they don't get anny closer.

Answer 8

Well they have been good , their offense is what has carried them and Pitching just sucks, but i think they will stay in second place
