Rangers hire Ron Washington

Ron Washington is the new manager of the Texas Rangers.

According to the Associated Press, "Washington was hired as manager of the Texas Rangers after 11 seasons as an Oakland Athletics coach, inheriting a team that last made the playoffs in 1999... The Rangers planned to introduce Washington during an afternoon news conference. Washington's two-year contract includes two additional option years."

Well, is Washington the best choice for the job? Can he get the Texas Rangers turned around?

Re: Rangers hire Ron Washington

Nice to see a guy get his first chance at a managerial job. He appears to be a good fit, he's a stickler for the fundamentals and is known as a players coach.

Cool Re: Rangers hire Ron Washington

Unless the Rangers get some much needed pitching, it really doesn't matter who the manager is.

Re: Rangers hire Ron Washington

There's not much a manager can do in Texas. I mean the formula is simple- put your sluggers in the lineup and hope you can out-hit the other team. The pitching is terrible for the Rangers because no solid guys want to come to that hitter-friendly ballpark. It's gonna be a tough job for Washington, his success will depend mostly on luck.

Even with Alex Rodriguez in the lineup, the Rangers couldn't win...
