I think you need to have a balanced team.

Just having one dominant outfit doesn't mean anything.

The Rangers had led the baseball in ERA last year, did not make the postseason.

So I think you're better off being a little bit more well-rounded.

I remember...

having long conversations about this with Justin Morneau one year when we were both on the IL.

A lot of times the formula is to just be kind of hanging around the top 10 in both starting pitching and run scored, starting pitching, and then also relief pitching and base running and all the basics.

If you're just above average in everything, you're going to be probably winning a lot more than being top heavy in one area.

Yeah, I mean, look, I'd love for them to have more power in their lineup.

I mean, you're needing a ton out of Roman, a ton out of Roman right now.

I know he might be the guy, but they're asking a lot out of him.

Marcelo, a lot of the young guys, Contreras to continue what he's been doing.

I do think losing Bregman Hurd, and I know he only had one really great half last year, but Alonso I thought would have been a good fit.

I think they would.

They're definitely I mean, look around the AL East.

There's some powerful offenses out there.

The Orioles are on the scene now.

So you're going to have to go toe to toe with that at times.

They're not always going to be able to shut everybody down in that division.

You have to put some runs up, too.
