Young
Pudge's unceremonious departure (certainly not A-Rod's signing) is for me the kind of symbolic moment of collapse into the pit of Oriole-dom. There were plenty of other factors, of course, just as there are plenty of reasons beyond Young for more hope today than a few years ago, but maybe Young's signing will mark a symbolic turning point into better days for Ranger fans.

Not just good

Quite good.
I guess the only thing I could add is that if Sosa flops through May, it seems likely a DH will be acquired with some of what appears to be an excess of bullpen arms rather than by letting Botts get a shot.

Very good
By the way, Rangers are actually being broadcast on MLB radio today.

Not that I disagree
But in AAA, aren't the pitchers there just working on their stuff? Working on fastball location, working on their second and third pitches, etc. Can't you say that Botts numbers might not be reflective in the same manner that Sosa's aren't?
That said, there's nothing left for Botts to prove in AAA. But he's nice insurance if/when Sosa fails to produce.

Spring Training: ptichers
It just depends on who a guy happens to see. In spring training there aren't enough at-bats for everything to even out over time, so you really could have one player who just happened to see several guys who were only throwing fastballs with a new arm angle or something. Another may have seen an undue number of guys who were pitching for a job and giving it everything they had. In the meantime, their hitting coaches are screwing around with them, too.
The last week or so probably tells us more than the rest of it combined, stats wise.
