PrintJeff Wilson writes that a year has made a huge difference from Nelson Cruz, who cleared waivers and was outrighted last spring (not released, as is indicated in the article) but is now apparently pretty solidly in place as a starting outfielder.
Cruz will also be playing in the WBC for the Dominican Republic as the starting right fielder.
Brandon Boggs' shoulder is bothering him. An MRI showed inflammation on the shoulder, which was operated on during the offseason, and he's still apparently not at 100%.
Jim Reeves writes about how Rudy Jaramillo is "hurt" about the revelation that so many of his pupils have used PEDs.
T.R. Sullivan writes about several players who are in "roster limbo" this spring.

Did anyone catch this gem about Arias in the Sullivan piece...
“I’m quite sure that if he hadn’t got hurt, there’s no telling where he would be,” manager Ron Washington said.
There will be no shortage of at bats
for outfielders with Boggs and Byrd slowed by injuries and Cruz and Cat off to the WBC. Hell, there might be a shortage of outfielders if Murphy isn’t 100%.

Yeah...
It’ll be a good time to see if the change of scenery has done anything for Golson…

That's why they call it Surprise
I miss 1989. I miss 1996. Please make me miss another season in 2008.
Ryan Drese vs. Rod Barajas
Right before they started throwing knuckle sammiches.
You lost Bradley and you seem like a bunch of arrogant sons of bitches, your pitching always sucks!!
I haven't noticed her yet.
The one on the left has my undivided drooling.

probably a good thing
for them. Maybe Borbon can learn a thing or two from Jones (and maybe Borbon pushes Jones a bit).

Boggs, Byrd, Murphy
If they’re all hurt, Andruw can kick back and await his 25 spot, like starting now.

Beltre played some ST games with the big team in '08.
Might get to play even a few more in ’09.
The moves being made are too extra for my taste.
and Max is playing for Venezuela and Cat is on the Italian team also.

Ummm...
The Rangers have not heard from shortstop Omar Vizquel, and the veteran was one of two players who missed the report date for position players. Technically speaking, spring training is in voluntary period for a few more days. The mandatory report date for all players is Sunday.
Good news:
Infielder Jose Vallejo is expected to be in camp today. He made his flight from the Dominican on Wednesday after his wife’s visa appointment, but a storm forced the plane to be diverted.

Thursday spring update, Vizquel update
Manager Ron Washington said shortstop Omar Vizquel is in Arizona and could be in the clubhouse as early as the next few hours. The reason he missed the report date: confusion. Vizquel, a 20-year veteran, thought he had to report tomorrow, and, according to Washington, feels badly about the snafu.
“I haven’t talked to him, and I don’t want to question it any further than that,” Washington said. “He certainly was concerned. He doesn’t want anyone to think anything ill of him.”

Lets hope we never see it in a real game.
Also, what is the purpose of pitchers throwing BP. Are they actually trying to pitch to the batters or just throwing BP?
Elvis Andrus - 2009 AL Rookie of the Year
It's just BP.
And Ryan wants them to throw it as apart of his conditioning plan to make their arms stronger in the future.
Thinking about Nelly Cruz makes my baseball pants fit tighter.
