I know the season is a huge disappointment, but let me revise some of my own flawed language: just because it's disappointing doesn't mean that it has to be pointless.

Evaluate talent. Groom talent. Then, if DM (for the love of all things good) can make some good moves this off-season with respect to pitching, seeing some major and legit improvement isn't out of the question next year.
I'd have brought Myers up at the AS break and given him that experience you've talked about. But as of today, I'd wait until September call ups. He'll still get some exposure, but that full year on the back end is more important than the month of experience when he's 22.

I respect the Rangers for bringing up Olt without worrying about anything else besides winning, but they're trying to find answers to win a World Series.
