Three things you might not know about the 2004 Texas Rangers:
- The offense was not great.
- The rotation was not terrible.
- The bullpen was phenomenal.
Unlike their division rivals, the Rangers hit the pause button after the season ended and will return with virtually the same group that posted the franchise's first winning record in five years. Other than right field, designated hitter, and one rotation spot, the names haven't changed. Texas will seek internal improvement, perhaps augmented with an in-season trade or two.
