what american team has a better young nucleus of players returning?

you can maybe argue that Anaheim does...but Tampa has just about as much talent as anybody in the American League

If they bring in a few pitchers, you better watch out. They will make another run next year.

alot of teams would probably kill for a group like Kazmir, Shields, Garza, and Price...

haven't the rangers traded off most of their high draft picks...

i remember a couple years ago...the always kept taking about D.V.D......Danks, Volquez, and Diamond.....i know two of them are gone...haven't heard much about Diamond, think he had Tommy John's...

No they have not..yes they did trade Volquez and Danks..but they still have one of the top 3 minor league systems right now


As far as the Rays...yes they are young and talented but it would not surprise me to see them take a step back next year

Baseball is always funny that way, right when you think a team is poised to be a top team for years to come strange things seem to happen

i did read the article...where it talked about the rangers having on of the top farm systems..

however i have kept of with the rangers since junior high, and have watched so many prospects go on to become superstars.....with other teams.....that i am not going to hold my breath...

the rays can easily pick up more pitching....maybe a Jake Peavy or even one of the 2 from the brewers that are available bc they still have a lot of talent in the farm system as well as young talent at the major league level to offer. I think with the experience they gained and seeing what it was like to win, they will be hungry
