Texas Rangers' pitchers and catchers report Feb. 20 to Surprise AZ
Glass Half Empty / Afternoon Cloud: Given the incredibly disappointing campaign last year (injuries like no one's ever seen, Wash resigning, 3rd worst record in MLB last year) I'm not sure how optimistic I can be.
Glass Half Full / Silver Lining: Given the incredibly disappointing campaign last year (injuries like no one's ever seen, Wash resigning, 3rd worst record in MLB last year) this year can't be any worse, right? Right?
Thoughts / Observations / Sidenotes: And the Rangers have a new skipper in Jeff Banister, cannot wait to see what he's all about. If half the stuff I've heard and read about him is true then he's a baseball guy through and through. He's proven to be a lifer and loyal to his old organization I think since he's 50 years old and spent 29 years with the Pirates organization. Sounds a lot like Wash. I just hope Banister does as well as Wash did managing the team for a couple years there. Maybe he'll even do a little better. Who knows?
