David Brown recaps the highlights from the Rangers' AFL participants.

I was hoping to see him in a Rangers uniform, but he got a little expensive for a set-up guy. Oh well.

"You gotta think the hitters don't feel too comfortable hitting off him," Teagarden said. "It's hard enough catching him."

Really well written explanation on why she chose Andrus. Great write up. Sorry if this was posted somewhere else.

Tracy takes the NL award.

At least in 2009.

Danny Gutierrez, Texas Rangers: The Kansas City Royals basically gave him away because of his attitude and off-field issues, but it's a good arm that is coming back nicely from a shoulder injury. He sits at 92-94 mph and touched 95 with a good curve that he can change speeds on. He's also just 22, and with improved maturity, has some weapons to be an impact starter.
Matt Harrison, Texas Rangers: The good news is that he touched 94 mph in short stints in his return from thoracic outlet surgery, but he won't work there as a starter and his upside is limited due to his inability to miss enough bats.
