SURPRISE, Ariz. - Here's how fast Delino DeShields has been this spring: He's moved so fast and so often that even his manager has occasionally lost sight of him.
On Sunday morning, manager Jeff Banister was sure DeShields ran more often and more wildly in his first spring with the Rangers in 2015. Sure of it. Turns out he may have been half right. He's not running as carelessly as his first season.
"He was running on the first pitch every time on base," Banister said. "Now, he's spending more time reading pitchers."
And, yet, stealing more bases.
