David Murphy, Josh Hamilton, Nelson Cruz, Marlon Byrd, Brandon Boggs, Frank Cattalanotto, and Andruw Jones. Two of these guys are likely not going to make the roster. Murphy, Hamilton, Cruz and Byrd are locks unless an injury occurs.  That means only one of Cattalonotto, Boggs and Jones makes the team. The salary of Cattalonotto makes him the likely choice, but Boggs had played well so far this spring.

The best hope is that some other team decides that they need to fill a hole and makes a trade for Byrd. Then you could have Boggs here playing very little or at AAA playing everyday and Jones could fill a spot here.

My guess, Byrd is traded maybe along with Boggs for a pitcher and Jones makes the team out of ST.

    Any chance of getting more updates on this site? The Rangers are one of the best teams in baseball right now, and they embarrassed the Yankees last night. I think the Rangers really have a shot at seeing some World Series action this year!

    I am so glad to finally find a team where you are not always hearing about the team using
    drugs.

    It’s hard to be competitive when one of your top guys is hurt. I hope Josh Hamilton can get healthy soon.
