MLB SHOWDOWN 2018 SET -- TEXAS RANGERS

Who the **** is writing this! Bob he's still alive? YUP! sorry been a long time busy with family and work. But coming back strong with a podcast a team. We have a podcast recapping the Marlins, Padres, and the Rangers. Rangers below are not an exceptional good team. Though they have a few fun cards that are draft-able. Seems like a fun team to play as a team squad versus a drafting league. 





Line up below.....












Ok so lots of weird or interesting cards there. One being Choo is still relevant and hitting an OB10 which is awesome. Beltre who is retiring still holding it down defensively at 3rd. Gallo's card is insane. Hes strike out walk double or home run only including a crazy 13-20 hr rate which should be interesting to see what he can develop into in 2019. The catcher has the worst defensive rating in the game and the back up is much better in terms of a utility guy. I should've used Odor's punching joey bats in the face photo. Profar seems to be one of the better cards on the squad with a huge chart and not many outs with ++ speed. We will see what he becomes on Oakland but interesting squad none the less.

Next up the pitching and everyone's favorite BIG SEXY.....



Oh how the mighty have fallen and now doesn't have a job :( but crazy how long he has been playing.





Main pitching staff is terrible in 2018 but at least Minor has a good spot. He will also have a crazy good 2019 card as well.








The bullpen is pretty bad just like the rotation minus Leclrec who is a Monster! he is dominating in leagues as well. Sad to see him dropping off in 2019 but his 2018 card should be a beast to play with.

    I love wacky charts like that. His defense in the outfield is a nice bonus :)

  2. If you were for some reason playing some type of control capped game this lineup would be devastating...otherwise the low OB really negates a lot of the value. Sweet job on the design though, love the logo in the back.
