Stocks: Josh Hamilton up, starters down
It's Friday and that means a look at the weekly Texas Rangers stock report. Who's up and who's down in the last week? Let's find out.
STOCK UP

Ian Kinsler: He's the spark that gets the offensive fire going for the Rangers and he's helped ignite a much bigger flame of late. In his last seven games, Kinsler is batting .400 with two homers, six RBIs, four walks, 10 runs scored and a stolen base. He's been all over the basepaths and when he is, good things usually happen.
STOCK DOWN

Yu Darvish: He's not the only starter struggling, but his struggles seem more magnified because of walk issues. In his last two starts, Darvish has a 10.03 ERA and has given up 10 free passes to go with 16 strikeouts. Opponents are batting .306 against him. Manager Ron Washington had a recent talk with Darvish and we'll see if he's able to simplify things and get back in a groove.
