Three game series with the Astros starts today.
Jeff Wilson has a story up about Ranger first rounder Matt Purke, who thinks that he will be able to come to an agreement with the Rangers on a contract.
Evan Grant thinks that a lineup shakeup is in order, and suggests an arrangement with Omar Vizquel leading off and playing second base, with Ian Kinsler moving to DH and hitting 6th.
Meanwhile, over in Anaheim, Ervin Santana won't make his start tonight due to forearm soreness.
