Saturday morning Rangers things

Hi, everybody...

T.R. Sullivan writes that, despite the injuries to Michael Kirkman and Edgar Olmos, the Rangers aren't planning on signing a lefthanded reliever or moving Ross Detwiler to the bullpen.

Anthony Andro writes that the Rangers have lots of options for the #5 starter spot, including Detwiler.

Gil Lebreton writes that the bullpen is light on lefty options.

Gerry Fraley has a story about the Rangers' near-major-league ready foursome of Jerad Eickhoff, Chi Chi Gonzalez, Alec Asher and Luke Jackson.

Jeff Wilson writes that Dave Magadan still believes in the potential of the Ranger offense.

Yesterday was Yovani Gallardo's birthday.  Which means its time for MC Birfday:

Spring training means getting stories about things like Ed Lucas and Ross Ohlendorf both being Ivy Leaguers.  Stefan Stevenson also has a story about Lucas and Ohlendorf being Ivy Leaguers.

Sullivan's notes talk about Shin-Soo Choo moving to right field, Martin Perez, the effort to sign Joba Chamberlain, and guys being signed to official contracts.

The S-T's notes hit on Choo taking Yu Darvish deep yesterday and players signing contracts.
