Let’s see if we can predict what the Texas Rangers roster will be a week from now, on Opening Day, when Texas faces the Chicago Cubs.
This job is made easier by the addition of free agent pitcher Michael Lorenzen, who has reportedly agreed to terms on a one year deal with the Rangers. That means one question mark in regards to the final pitching staff is now longer in doubt. And while I’ve seen speculation Lorenzen might start the year at Frisco or Round Rock to get up to speed, Lorenzen reportedly threw 70 pitches while getting up and down four times on Sunday, which would seem to suggest he may not need a big ramp up period.
