There are many questions surrounding the Rangers this year. Will they be able to duplicate the run to the postseason that made 2015 so much fun? How magnificent will Yu Darvish's return to the mound be? But perhaps the most important question is this: Can you touch Adrian Beltre's head?
Of course, we could debate the answer to this question endlessly, with no real opportunity to prove it true or false. What are the odds that Beltre would actually let any of us try? It does not make him happy.
That's why we've put together this simulator. All you have to do is answer a series of questions, and it will tell you if you'll ever be able to achieve the summit of all human achievement -- touching Beltre's head.
