Gerry Fraley, Rangers beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the team Thursday. Here are some highlights.
If the Rangers don't move forward with Tim Lincecum as closer, who is it? Diekman?
Gerry Fraley: It is ridiculously wide open. Diekman threw well in his first outing but not so much in his last two. Kela has the stuff to close but also has been struggling with his delivery. At the moment, Claudio is throwing the best of the relievers. He closed at the end last season despite having a below average fastball.
