The Texas Rangers have signed three pitchers to minor league contracts and invited all three players to spring training. Derrick Turnbow, Casey Daigle and Elizardo Ramirez are the newest members of the Rangers as of the first of the year.

Turnbow will probably make the roster and pitch out of the bullpen. He could even be a closer if needed but will probably by used more as a setup man.

I would expect to see Daigle and Ramirez in Triple-A to begin the season but could earn call ups if they throw the ball well in Triple-A Oklahoma.
