Bochy was the one who gave him his first shot at being a closer in 2018. It wouldn't be surprising if he were used in a high-leverage role this season.The Texas Rangers are going to be an interesting teamLos Angeles Angels v Texas RangersThe Texas Rangers finished fourth in the American League West last season with a 68-94 record. It wasn't the season they were hoping for after signing Corey Seager and Marcus Semien.Semien started the season abysmally, hitting .159 in the first month and a half of the season. He turned it around by the end of the year as he hit .248 with 26 home runs.Semien will look to start the season the way he finished it last year. There's no way he can start that badly again.Corey Seager finished the season with the worst batting average of his career (.245). Fans will likely see an increase in his batting average this year with the new shift restrictions. Seager is one of the most shifted-on batters in the entire sport.One player to keep an eye on this season is Adolis Garcia. He is one of the most underrated players in the league. He's a five-tool player who could be one of the stolen base leaders this season.The Rangers will be an interesting team to follow this season. They have what it takes to be a great team if they can stay healthy and stay away from slumps.
