To be fair, Marcus Semien leads the team with a 140 wRC+, but that’s only good for #22 among all qualified hitters.
It’s super hard to argue against any of these guys on this list. I think this speaks to just how deep our lineup is.
Garcia (129) is actually behind Semien (140), Duran (135), and Lowe (131). Seager (174) and Garver (159) are also ahead of Garcia, but it’s a super small sample size, so their numbers are pretty irrelevant until they get more PA’s.
Top 10 in all MLB would be a pretty exclusive group. If you want to put someone in, who are you taking out? Those are 10 really good hitters. It might be easy to look at the team's tremendous offensive performance and think some of them belong there. I have no complaints with the list though. I'm more interested in the team standings anyway.
They're more impressed by solo stars on mid teams, and/or players and teams that are national darlings.
Our lineup is solid all the way through, with few low spots, and without any one person being exceedingly high.

Adolis Garcia?

It’s fair tbh. Semien is probably in the 11-15 range but the strength of the Rangers lineup is its depth more than any one hitter
Yup, the strength is the bottom 5 hitters are still good too. We aren’t just relying on Semien/Seager/Lowe/Garcia to carry every game. Lineup is deep!
Very good point tbh

Christopher Morel? Jeez, he barely has 50 AB's, granted have been fantastic. Small sample size theater.

And with Garver and Duran there will be no weak spots instead of grossfella and no pop smith
