This is the first entry of many to come on the many topics involving baseball and the Texas Rangers. There's no doubt that the many writers and bloggers that cover the Rangers are excellent. However, my hope is to create a site where all the information available to the public on the Rangers is synthesized in one place. Personal opinion will be entered of course, but the main idea is to bring all Texas Rangers news into one single place where the average Ranger fan can find all the information they need quickly and easily.
The main sites I'll use for Rangers reference are listed in the sidebar, with heavy attention paid to both beat writers and notable bloggers. All of us have become familiar with names such as Jamey Newberg, Scott Lucas, Adam Morris, Jason Cole, and Mike Hindman (who has gone on to blog for the DMN), so their opinion is highly valuable in relating relevant Ranger news. A truthful view of the Texas Rangers is only possible with well-rounded information sources, and the ones I use will hopefully balance each other in the right way.
Finally, the content of this site will be a mix of current news and player profiles. It is so hard to find good information on individual Ranger players (especially farmhands), so I hope to provide a key service in keeping all in the loop with info on all players. This is a tremendous task that will take some time, but I do hope to add on to what Jason Cole does for the subscription fee at LoneStarDugout.com and what Mike Hindman did on his former blog at Rangers Farm Report. The Texas Rangers have been a passion for me for 16 years now, so I hope this can be a great site that helps other people come to know and love the Rangers like I do.
