Sunday morning Rangers things

Good morning, folks...

Taylor Hearn had a strong outing yesterday in his bid to win a spot in the starting rotation.

Jeff Wilson’s Surprise Five talks about the positivity being generated by Rougned Odor’s performance yesterday.

Evan Grant writes that Leody Taveras, who the Texas Rangers hope will be in center field and leading off this year, has not started off camp well.

The Rangers are considering a “piggyback” situation for one or two rotation spots this year, which would significantly impact the makeup of the pitching staff.

Evan Grant has notes on Taylor Hearn and Nick Solak, and also notes on Rougned Odor, Brett Martin, Joely Rodriguez, Jose Leclerc, and Jonathan Hernandez.

David Laurila has his Sunday notes column up at Fangraphs.
