The latest on the once and future World Series champion Texas Rangers
Top o’ the morning to ya.
Kennedi Landry writes that — assuming he gets to March 27 in good health — Nathan Eovaldi will end the Kevin Millwood curse by making his second Opening Day start in a row for the Texas Rangers.
Evan Grant has observations from camp yesterday in Surprise with Alejandro Osuna impressing and Adolis Garcia ramping things up.
Landry writes about Jack Leiter settling into another audition for a spot in the suddenly beleaguered rotation.
Matt Fisher takes a look at the rash of injuries that hit the rotation and how Texas’ depth is already being tested.
Grant writes that addressing the infirmed rotation should be as simple as inserting Leiter and Kumar Rocker, but it might not be that easy.
Nevertheless, Landry writes that it’s Leiter that has made the biggest positive impression at camp for the Rangers this spring.
The Athletic MLB Staff produced their first power rankings of the year with the Rangers landing in the top ten.
And, Grant’s top 30 Rangers prospect list continues with No. 7 Malcolm Moore, the final pick of the first round last summer — because the Rangers won the World Series and picked last.
Have a nice day!
