The Texas Rangers are currently 36-36 and in third place in the American League West.

The Rangers were expected to be awful again this year and battled the Oakland Athletics for rights to the cellar in the division, but instead they are on the edge of the playoff race.

The pitching for the Rangers has been pretty poor as expected, but the offensive has been terrific.

Outfielder Josh Hamilton has been everything the team expected and more, and fellow outfielder Milton Bradley is one of the hottest hitters in baseball right now.
