Just more than a month has passed since the Texas Rangers hired Chris Woodward as their new manager, replacing Jeff Banister.
A month during a baseball season is a ton of time. A month in an off-season for a new manager, a first-time manager, might not be long enough.
Woodward has been busy, to say the least, and he’s racking up frequent-flier miles as he jets back and forth from his home and family in the Phoenix area to Arlington. Not a week has gone by that he hasn’t spent at least a couple days in Texas.
