Inbox: Where are homegrown aces?

Can you tell me why the Rangers have not been able to -- at least in my memory -- draft and develop a quality No. 1 starter?

The Rangers almost won the World Series in 2011 with an outstanding rotation that included Matt Harrison, Derek Holland and Alexi Ogando. Add Yu Darvish, who was signed as a free agent the following offseason, and the impending arrival of Martin Perez, and the Rangers' rotation appeared to be set for the next 5-7 years.
