MLB disappointment 4. Robbie Grossman, Texas Rangers
The Texas Rangers are another team that has gotten off to a surprisingly great start this year. Their team on paper got a lot better during this past offseason, but a lot of people, including myself, questioned how well Texas would compete in a very competitive American League West. Now in June, they are 5.0 games up on Houston and hitting the cover off the baseball.
One of those offseason acquisitions was outfielder Robbie Grossman, who was picked up by the Rangers for his power. Texas wanted to add some power to their lineup and Grossman seemed like a good option. Unfortunately, this move hasn’t worked out for both sides. Grossman’s power numbers are not where the team thought they would be as he has hit seven home runs with a .371 slugging percentage.
