The Rangers are 9th in runs scored per game this year. (Rangers have played as many as 6 games more than other AL teams.)
Its a downward lurch, after a slower downward trend, and obviously (many of) the younger guys aren't showing development.
In fairness, Guzman (53 GP) and IKF (56 GP) were not supposed to be playing a role on a team that was tanking. And IKF was transitioning to Catcher.
Our 2 best hitters - Beltre (43 GP) and Andrus (15 GP) have been on the DL.
I'm not defending Iapoce, just noting the approach has changed and I'm not sure we're going back.
