We have real live, meaningful, counts-in-the-standings baseball tomorrow, as the Texas Rangers kick off what is expected to be a difficult 2021 season at Kansas City against the Royals.
Its a true rebuilding year, as the Rangers have acknowledged contention is not expected this year, that player development and finding out who can be a contributor to the next winning Rangers team is the focus. There will be a lot of young players taking the field for the Rangers, some of which will flame out, some of whom — we hope at least — will show that they can be building blocks, or at least useful pieces, going forward.
