In five days.
While Dallas digs out from yet another school closing ice storm, there is a sign of spring on the horizon: Pitchers and Catchers report to training camp in less than a week.
ESPN's Baseball Tonight could have been renamed Rangers Tonight. First topic was designated hitters and the Michael Young problem. I do not see why the Rangers wanted to trade him unless they believe he is on the downside of his career. His postseason was not great but he is the heart of the team.
Next came a story on whether the Rangers could replace Cliff Lee. It was like the Rangers were in last place when they traded for Lee last July. If I remember correctly they were already in first. Lee was a steadying hand down the stretch as well as a pitcher with postseason experience. Now, all the returning pitchers have postseason experience. I believe it is a loss but not as bad as some make it out to be.
The conclusion of the "experts"? The Rangers are the favorites to win the AL West but it won't be as easy as last season. Last season was easy?
