Rangers' left-field job up for grabs
Calhoun on trade to Rangers MESA, Ariz. -- Drew Robinson started in left field for the Rangers in their Cactus League opener against the Cubs on Saturday. Willie Calhoun made the trip to the other side of Phoenix, too, but as a late-game replacement for Robinson.
The arrangement is a reminder that the Rangers' left-field job is still unsettled. Calhoun may be the favorite, but he still has to come to Arizona and win the job.
"Willie Calhoun needs to come out and play, show that he can continue to improve defensively and show us where he is offensively," manager Jeff Banister said. "We like what we saw in Willie last year. He is an extremely interesting player."
