Sosa again

Sammy will make this team unless he can't hit his weight and hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo says his bat speed has disappeared, because the people who matter want him sandwiched between Mark Teixeira and Hank Blalock in the lineup.

The Rangers will get Sammy at-bats in minor league games and "B" games and let Jaramillo work him until his hands bleed to ensure he's ready for opening day in Los Angeles.

No problem with that, but the Rangers can't forget they don't need Sammy to win the AL West. Jason Botts will be fine as an alternative if Sammy can't do it anymore.

So I guess Sosa won't even have an opportunity NOT to make the team.
