The book on the Rangers pretty much since they set up shop in Arlington is they couldn't find a pitcher if Sandy Koufax were handcuffed to the front door. Regimes come and go, and the stain of poor pitching remains. If it's not a curse, it's at least genetic.
But what if I were to tell you that Jon Daniels' current dilemma isn't finding good pitching, it's keeping it?
Which brings us to the case of Mike Minor, a major development in the Rangers' eternal quest for an ace.
In case you haven't noticed, Minor is having one of the best seasons of any starter in baseball.
