Recap
An interesting team. They are an average all-time team and wouldn't compare to some of the better teams.
They have a good pitching staff, which is anchored by Nolan Ryan. They also have a great defensive catcher, Bob Boone, to call the games.
Some people will argue that Troy Glaus should be the starting third baseman, but Chone Figgins also had good years in the outfield.
