Friday morning Rangers stuff

Good morning, everyone...are you ready for some Martin Perez?

Martin Perez makes his return to a major league mound tonight, and he says he's embracing the high expectations that are awaiting him.

Perez and Harrison returning means a possible lesser role for Anthony Ranaudo, who isn't expected to be getting a start anytime soon.

Gerry Fraley identifies five areas of focus for the Rangers in the second half.

Jeff Wilson, meanwhile, has five keys to a successful second half for Texas.

Anthony Andro, on the other hand, has "five musts" for the Rangers to make the postseason.

T.R. Sullivan writes that the Rangers are looking to their pitches to lead a second half surge.

Joe Ursery asks if the Rangers should look to trade Yovani Gallardo.

There's a nice update on the money raised by the Do It For Durrett event earlier this month, done by "SportsDFW.com" at the Rangers website.

The DMN has notes on the Rangers draft, the Rangers working out yesterday, and Matt Harrison.

The S-T's notes talk about Martin Perez, Matt Harrison and Derek Holland.

Sullivan's notes talk about Jeff Banister believing the A.L. West is up for grabs, the workout, Ross Detwiler, and Shin-Soo Choo's tan.
