Texas Rangers: Revisiting 2019 New Year’s Resolutions One Year Later

Resolution #3: Trust This Process

At the time, this was a bit of an abstract resolution but looking back over the course of the past year, there was a definite process being followed by the club. The organization saw a lot of change, especially with the coaching staff and patience seemed to have paid off. Chris Woodward earned the confidence of a lot of fans moving forward with the team outplaying expectations for much of the season.

Trusting the process the club laid out doesn’t mean everything is going to be a hit. For instance the Isiah Kiner-Falefa as a catcher experiment failed pretty quickly. But for those who were willing to put up with a miserable season by Rougned Odor, we started to see some improvement late in the season and the organization seems to think that’s signal of a long-term breakout happening. For a rebuilding club like the Rangers, this isn’t always easy but it’s clear to see that the club is headed in the right direction.

Verdict: Completed by the organization. Completed-ish by the fans.
