25-man roster mostly set, but number in rotation, bullpen still being determined

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The composition of the Rangers' Opening Day roster depends on two things: How many pitchers will they take, and what will their roles be?

Texas could go with ...

• The normal 12-man staff that consists of five starters and seven relievers.

• A 13-man staff that includes a six-man rotation and a seven-man bullpen. The six-man rotation is not getting a lot of love in camp.

• A 13-man staff that includes five starters, seven relievers and one "swing" pitcher who could do both.

The Rangers keep toying with all three scenarios.
