Official 2014 Texas Rangers Spring Training Thread

At least Yu is eligible to come off DL April 5th. Must have been a nuclear stiff neck.

No more Rosales! Huzzah!!!

No idea what took so long, never saw what they were keeping him around for. There are better players around the league getting bumped from ML rosters that could be picked up all the time.

He had plenty of chances to prove himself too. Oh well.

Stiff back, stiff neck, whatever they have to do to get this stuff figured out for him they need to get it done. We need it done now, and so do my fantasy teams. Haha

Some blurbs from Evan Grant this morning:

Tim Bogar waiting by Ron Washington’s side: It should not go unnoticed that after making an impulsive decision to challenge a play during the spring, Washington said that very same night: “I need to listen to my coaches more.” His coaching staff is more of an asset than it’s ever been, and the manager is quickly recognizing that.

Sign in clubhouse that read Team Dinner Tuesday night: But somebody — and it would be worth placing a wager on third baseman Adrian Beltre — took the effort to get the players together for a casual affair to talk baseball and get to know one another. Maybe it’s the drudgery of spring training coming to an end, but over the last couple of days, there seemed to be much more interaction and laughter in the clubhouse.

Michael Choice taking a 10-pitch at-bat vs. Oakland: Choice was the standout performer of the spring, and the competition wasn’t that close. What stood out on offense was his ability to have disciplined at-bats.

We pile on old Ron, but maybe he's making a change for the better. Would be nice.

Choice needs to start out in the lineup at least four days a week, and If he continues to kill it, needs to be in there every day.

If choice does well for a month or two, he should probably be full time DH.

I'd rather see him rotate into the outfield positions regularly and give guys half days off too.

I see the Red Sox released Francisco Cordero and the A's have put Gentry on the DL.

Finally some regular season baseball tonight!

Thanks Romeo. Not Rangers, not interested.

 

[Justinkm83]

When Kemp comes back the Dodgers might have the only 1-5 better than ours.

So then not a fan of the game....just of the local team. Based on how you worded your statement..

Not at all. Don't care about watching the Dodgers.

It's opening night. I would've watched any 2 teams. Plus, I hate the Dodgers so I have a team to root for, the Padres.

Pulling for that Padres all night.
