but I thought the Rangers farm system was good, maybe it still is but they just don't have anyone ready to step in

1) They have traded a lot of their pitching prospects in the last couple of years. I understand why they did it, but it is really starting to be felt.

2) It is better to lose this year than shatter the confidence of young pitchers that aren't quite ready for prime time.
