Kevin Mench is heading back to the Texas Rangers after signing a one year minor league contract.  Mench says he will report to Triple A if he does not make the big league roster out of spring training.  However, if he isn’t on the big league roster as of June 1, he will become a free agent and can sign with any other team.

Mench is heading downhill at this point in his career.  He could help out some teams, but is it worth it for them to play him when they could let a younger player get some experience at the big league level?  I would rather go with the younger prospect at this point in Mench’s career.
