The Texas Rangers on the field performances this season have been surprising, but it all started with a successful offseason by Jon Daniels.

For all the criticism Jon Daniels gets, a lot of it warranted, he also deserves a lot of credit for where this Texas Rangers club is at. It’s easy to say, “well he got lucky”, when looking at the impact his offseason decisions have had, but when looking at the whole picture, Daniels “hit” on a lot more decisions than he “missed” on.
