Good morning, peeps...

Evan Grant has a recap of yesterday's 6-2 victory.
Carlos Peguero was in the lineup yesterday, and the Rangers are hoping he got things back on track in the minors after a rough finish to his spring.
Peguero replaced Shin-Soo Choo in the lineup, and the Rangers are looking to be cautious with Choo as he deals with back spasms.
Gil Lebreton has a column on the problematic situation the Rangers find themselves in without Yu Darvish and Derek Holland, and Jeff Banister insisting he's focusing on the present and working on winning games.
Evan writes that Banister is working to avoid a repeat of last year's disaster, despite the early injuries.
Gerry Fraley writes that Banister is just the latest of a long line of managers from the State of Texas.
Dave Sessions has a roundup on the Rangers' various roster moves yesterday.

And in non-Rangers news, the Josh Hamilton drama continues in LAA, with C.J. Wilson speaking out in support of Hamilton and accusing the Angels of having private investigators for him (C.J.) at one point, as well as the news that the Angels have removed all Hamilton merchandise from their stores.
