I think yes. a lot of other AL teams got better by signing big FAs including their division rival the angels who got the biggest price.
not only the rangers were unable to sign one of the big FA (pujols, fielder, reyes) they also lost their best pitcher C.J wilson also to their divison rival.
the only guy they could land was darvish and it is doubtful that darvish even can replace wilson adequately (although he does have very much talent).
didn't the rangers just sign a huge TV deal? I would be very dissapointed as a rangers fan. no big FA singned and letting walk their best pitcher to only sign an unproven japanese pitcher (and we know how japanese pitchers usually perform in the majors) despite having a lot of money is not fair towards the rangers fans.
Even if darvish does indeed dominate (big if) they are still not improved because wilson is gone. shouldn't they have done more when NY, detroit and especially their own divission rival the angel all improved their roster?
