2018 Clubhouse: Texas Rangers

136. Elvis Andrus

137. Adrián Beltré

138. Joey Gallo

139. Cole Hamels

140. Nomar Mazara

After Hamels hit the highway, it opened up a spot for surprise ace(ish) Mike Minor. Or maybe Shin-Soo Choo gets the spot after his resurgence. And hell, even Rougned Odor seems to be having a Renaissance of his own. Lots of possibilities.

Beltré doesn't sign much these days but since he's basically a HOFer, I couldn't resist. Let us cherish him as much as we can. Oh, and Joey Gallo is the other signer.

The red is probably a little too close to the Rangers red. It's shininess would help set it off IRL though.

ART11. Sueng-hwan Oh - All-Rookie Team

Looks like another Missouri-centric pack. If that Mazara photo looks familiar, you may have seen it elsewhere on cardboard. It seems to happen a few times every year where Topps and I independently select the same photo. I try to avoid using ones I know they've used but these cards were designed before theirs saw the light of day.
