It still feels weird to wake up and know there's no Rangers baseball, not just today but for months to come.

Evan Grant offers his dream scenario of what he "hopes" the Rangers roster looks like at the end of the winter. It includes Nick Swisher, Zack Greinke, and Ricky Romero, and Grant also, not surprisingly, hopes that Ian Kinsler is gone and Michael Young is batting second and the DH. Also missing are Josh Hamilton (of course), Mike Napoli, and Robbie Ross...

T.R. Sullivan writes that Mike Adams is undergoing Thoracic Outlet Syndrome surgery, Matt Harrison is undergoing LASIK surgery, and Napoli will undergo LASIK surgery next week. I had that surgery when I was 27, and it was awesome. I went from being 20/200 and 20/400 on far vision, uncorrected, to being 20/15 in each eye. Fourteen years later, I'm still 20/20. Pretty great.
