The 2011 Rangers have an OPS+ of 108 and an ERA+ of 117.
EDIT: Speaking of Ken Hill, I vividly remember being at this game: http://www.baseball-reference.com/bo...99607170.shtml . I was eight years old at the time, but I remember Hill being lifted by Oates with two outs in the ninth and not being very happy about it (because my dad wasn't very happy about it). |
That is a pretty disgusting 1-4 the Rangers had going on. BAs of .304, .316, .330, and .334. Rusty Greer is still my favorite all-time Ranger with Pudge a close 2nd.
