Rangers try to buy credibility
So the Texas Rangers have a new president you may have heard of.
His name: Nolan Ryan, as in Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan.
Color me confused about Ryan's hiring. During his 10-year personal services contract with Houston, he never held a significant position in the organization.
He did build Round Rock and Corpus Christi into two of the best organizations in minor league baseball, but there's a major difference in running a minor league team and having a major say in a big league organization.
If there is someone who can bridge that gap, it's Ryan. Here's hoping, however, the Rangers, who have rebuilt their once-barren farm system through shrewd drafting and trades, don't sacrifice their reputation for it.
