This seems to happen every year and they never play up to their real talent level. Sorry to rant and thanks for what you do!

Yeah, this is just not true. We use ZIPS ratings as our basis and will occasionally adjust where needed, but we do our best to avoid any biases against specific teams, and if we did it's certainly not against the Rangers, of all teams. I'm an NY/NE guy, if I'm biased against anyone it's the Red Sox or Phillies and the results from my sims would clearly indicate that's not really the case, at least for the Red Sox!
The other two guys who do most ratings are from Canada (and they work on the minors for the most part). There's no anti-Rangers bias among us to be found.
We're happy to re-evaluate any ratings if you provide some convincing evidence that's needed, but you'll need to provide some actual evidence of that to make us take another look.
