One game, one strike, is all that separated the Rangers from winning their
first World Series and completing the organization's transformation.
Texas twice squandered a two-run lead to the Cardinals in Game Six of the
World Series, then couldn't rebound in Game Seven, capping off an epic
postseason. The Rangers hadn't lost consecutive games in 47 trips to the
ballpark, but they couldn't overcome the St. Louis buzzsaw and became the
first team since the 1991-92 Braves to drop back-to-back World Series.
Despite the disappointment at the end of October, there's no doom and gloom
in Arlington. The Rangers remain positioned to extend their run of playoff
appearances, thanks to a young core and one of the game's deepest farm
systems. Texas affiliates posted the highest combined winning percentage
(.564) of all organization in 2011, and all of the full-season clubs
qualified for the playoffs.
Since Jon Daniels took over as GM following the 2005 season, the Rangers have
become a model organization for scouting and player development.
Interestingly, Texas still hasn't had many homegrown talents contribute at
the big league level, as the bulk of the club's nucleus—Elvis Andrus, Adrian
Beltre, Nelson Cruz, Josh Hamilton, Neftali Feliz, Matt Harrison, Colby
Lewis, Mike Napoli, Alexi Ogando—was plucked from other teams. Ian Kinsler
and C.J. Wilson were drafted by the Rangers before the Daniels
administration, which did sign Derek Holland and Mitch Moreland
The farm system provided the talent to upgrade the bullpen with midseason
trades for Mike Adams and Koji Uehara. It should continue to be productive,
with lefthander Martin Perez, outfielder Leonys Martin and righthanders Neil
Ramirez and Tanner Scheppers on the verge of landing big league roles.
To keep the talent flowing, the Rangers have poured resources into Latin
America. They have become one of the most aggressive franchises in that arena
and spent nearly $20 million in bonuses for international players in 2011.
That total included $5 million for Martin (part of a $15.6 million big league
contract), $4.95 million for Dominican outfielder Nomar Mazara, $3.45 million
for Dominican first baseman/outfielder Ronald Guzman and $1.5 million for
Venezuelan lefthander Yohander Mendez.
The Rangers made an even bigger splash in the offseason. They posted $51.7
million for the negotiating rights to Nippon-Ham Fighters righthander Yu
Darvish, widely considered the best pitcher in the world not under contract
to an MLB club. They signed him in January to a six-year contract worth $56
million.
Texas already had a strong international presence in their system. Its top
prospects are shortstop Jurickson Profar (Curacao) and Perez (Venezuela),
with Martin (Cuba), second baseman Rougned Odor (Venezuela), catcher Jorge
Alfaro (Colombia) and third baseman Christian Villanueva (Mexico) not far
behind.
After the season, farm director Scott Servais left to become the Angels'
assistant GM and join former teammate Jerry Dipoto's new regime. To replace
Servais, Texas hired former Astros GM and farm director Tim Purpura. More
departures may be inevitable, as Rangers assistant GM Thad Levine and senior
director of player personnel A.J. Preller are considered future GM candidates.
