As bad as the hitting has been of late the Rangers still hold on to a slim lead in the west over the Angels and now surging Mariners. The truth is yes the bats are cold, but this team has only been 1 or 2 hits away from winning their last 4 games ( lost the last 4 games by a total of 6 runs) in large part due to the pitching staff which continues to be solid.
This morning in the Star Telegram, Gil Lebreton ( http://www.star-telegram.com/284/story/1445638.html ) argues to leave Chris Davis alone and look at bringing up a couple of more unproven young players to stick in the already struggling line up. If we were 10 games out already at this point I'd say sure, why not, but we're sitting a top of the A.L. West even through the recent struggles. If anything this team needs to add a couple of veteran hitters to the line-up, and that means that yes we would have to move some young talent elsewhere to get what this team desperately needs, solid AB's.
