READER POLL
Will the Texas Rangers win the American League West this season?
  Yes. The pitching is solid for a change, and the offense will eventually come around.
  Yes, but only if the team makes a blockbuster trade for another pitcher.
  Yes, but only if Josh Hamilton returns and puts up the same kind of numbers he did in 2008.
  No. The pitching will fold, as usual, and the offensive slump will continue for the rest of the season.
  No. The team has made great strides, but is still a year or two away from contention.
  No. The Rangers are the Rangers, and their fans are simply destined to have their hearts broken again.
