EULESS -- Cole Hamels told participants in a clinic organized by his charitable foundation Saturday that it has been "a joy'' to pitch for the Rangers over the last two-plus seasons.
"It would be more of a joy if we can get back to the postseason," Hamels added to the group assembled at Trinity High School.
Lofty goal. Tougher task.
Start with the Rangers' home. The American League West is a thorny thicket.
For the first time since 2003, the Rangers will open a season in the same division with the reigning World Series champion: Houston.
