It’s May … the lusty month of May. April has come and passed, the preseason hype can never last. The Texas Rangers find themselves in a familiar albeit undesirable place 23 games into the season: a 9-14 record, last in the American League West and 25th place amongst the 30 teams of the MLB. Last spring, 23 games into the season, the Rangers were also 9-14.
That’s not even the opinion of a baseball fan, those are statistics. Heim’s OPS is a staggering 1.172 – higher than Manny Machado, Aaron Judge, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bryce Harper, teammate Corey Seager or Mike Trout. Garver’s OPS is half that at .581. Heim currently leads the Rangers with a 1.0 WAR and, five games ago, led the team in RBIs with nine until Seager, Adolis Garcia and Brad Miller surpassed them at the end of April.
Clearly, it’s more likely that the short stop's struggles at the plate are ephemeral, as his 2021 season in Toronto was obviously out-of-this-world with 45 home runs, 15 stolen bases, an .873 OPS, and a .265 batting average. It’s unlikely that a season like that would be a fluke, so being patient with Semien is the best option for the team and fanbase.
