Bowls are over... back to focus on the Rangers.

I was reading some DMN articles on the Rangers, specifically this one on Michael Choice:

The club views him as a possible long-term solution in the outfield, but, at the very least, he figures to help serve as a bridge until the squadron of talented outfielders who spent 2013 at Class A Hickory is ready for the majors.

Went to look at the trio... all 3 spent the entire season in Hickory (A)

Nomar Mazara: (18- LHB) .236 \ 13 HR \ 1 SB
Lewis Brinson: (19-RHB) .237 \ 21 HR \ 24 SB
Nick Williams: (20-LHB) .293 \ 17 HR \ 8 SB

It will be interesting to see if they continue to play together, and who ends up in Frisco.

MLB
Choo - Signed through 2020.
Rios - Signed through 2015 (CL opt)
Martin - Signed through 2015.

Others:

Choice (24-RHB): .302\ 14HR \ 1 SB in 2013 AAA for Oak
Beltre (24-LHB): .292\ 7HR \ 15 SB in 2013 AAA for Tex
Adduci (28-LHB): .298\ 16HR \ 32 SB in 2013 AAA for Texas
Teodoro Martinez (21-RHB): .248\ 15HR \ 21 SB for AA Frisco
Skole

I think our OF will be greatly improved for 2014.

Long-term, I think we have some nice pieces to develop.

Dear Staff,

It should be your signature.

/Yes the Mariners suck but they have royalty: King Felix and King Cano.
