ARLINGTON, Texas – The Texas Rangers' poor showing this season will not cost pitching coach Dick Bosman his job.

Manager Johnny Oates said Sunday his coaching staff would return next season. All except Bobby Jones have one year remaining on their contracts, and Jones, hired during the season, has been asked to return.

General Manager Doug Melvin said he plans to begin meeting Tuesday with each coach to review his performance. Melvin said he does not expect the meetings to change the coaches' future with the club.

The Rangers are last in their division 17 games behind leader Seattle as they head into the final week of the regular season.

This is Bosman's ninth and least productive season as pitching coach for Oates.

In a 9-2 loss to Anaheim on Sunday in the final home game, Rangers pitchers allowed 14 walks to tie a club record set in an 18-inning game.

The Rangers lead the American League in blown saves, and the overall ERA of 5.41 is third-highest in the league. The ERA will rise for the fourth consecutive season. The Rangers had the highest full-season ERA in club history last season at 5.07.

"There are going to be players who improve and players who struggle," Oates said. "If we're going to get on Bos for the players who struggle, let's give him credit for the players who improved."

Pitching deteriorated in the second half of the season. The struggles of starter Darren Oliver and the entire bullpen offset the rise of young starters Doug Davis and Ryan Glynn. The Rangers have gone from a 5.11 ERA in the first half to a 5.76 ERA in the second half.
