Texas Rangers midseason review
The Texas Rangers have been one of the biggest surprises in baseball, jumping into first place in the American League West.
The pitching has been suspect at times, but the explosive offense has been slowed down by very few opponents.
Offseason acquisition Vladimir Guerrero was supposedly washed up, but he has been a real bargain.
Josh Hamilton has bounced back from a disappointing and injury-marred 2009 campaign to put up big numbers.
Second baseman Ian Kinsler missed the first month or so with a sprained ankle but is back and has really added a lot to the lineup.
