I was WRONG about Junior Mayberry.
It appears he's going to be a player, and quite possibly exactly the player the Rangers need.

I simply did not see this coming.
That is all.
No such thing as too much talent, but when Junior gets to Arlington, there will be a plethora of talented guys to pencil into the lineup. I love their collective offensive potential, but the defense these guys are going to play will write the first chapter in the Ranger History book that talks about plus defenders at all 3 outfield positions.
I have wrong about Junior, too.
Keep it up, Junior!

You should elaborate on this...posting it on the day he went 0-5 with a couple Ks made me think you were being sarcastic.His SLG has steadily improved, and there was the story about how he'd need so many ABs to retool his swing, but I'm still on the fence.I still wonder about the D, too, the presence of which would help his perplexing OBP.

I also thought JMJr was a flop.....
Gotta love a kid stepping his game up when moved a level up.
Shows he thrives on challenges, in my book atleast.
Great blog, it's one of my morning routines now.
