Showalter's Hiring is a Travesty

Rangers ownership must have missed the last few years of the 90's when Buck Show-em-who's-boss-walter was running things in Zona. The man's a train wreck. He's a throwback to an era when he would have been a throwback. Putting him in charge of the Texas Rangers, a talent-laden club with too much bad mojo already, is plain stupid.

Meanwhile, yet another old white guy gets a job while deserving men of color get passed over for a team that could actually benefit from a minority hire.

Sheesh.
