Ryan Dempster just announced he isn't playing this season for "physical reasons and to spend more time with his family."
Okay ... the day is here. First ST pitcher and catcher official workouts tomorrow morning ... although a good many pitchers have been in camp for awhile. Darvish had a bull pen session on Friday.
It's time now to get serious ... its no longer Off Season ... it's Spring Training time! Go Rangers!
Thanks Justin. Can't wait to get report on Colby tomorrow. Fingers crossed he will do well.As Texas Rangers pitchers and catchers report today, a few key members of the club's rotation -- and some that are vying to make that rotation -- are expected to be 100 percent on schedule and ready to go.
That includes left-handed pitcher Matt Harrison, who threw 44 pitches in a bullpen session on Sunday and was pleased with how he's feeling.
Yu Darvish, who had an injection in his back at the end of last season, threw 34 pitches on Sunday and is listed as fully healthy.
Colby Lewis likely throws his first bullpen on Monday, but will do so on schedule. After coming off hip surgery, Lewis has been throwing at his home and the club lists him as "full go." The hip resurfacing was a rare procedure on a pitcher (in fact, there's no record of an active pitcher having it), so everyone will be paying close attention to Lewis' progress.
We all are Duane. Now there will be plenty to cuss and discuss.So glad to see spring training finally getting started.

Your right about that. Our manager will probably get a lot of the cussing.
You're back. Lets go.Deservedly so.
Wow I totally forgot about Mark Mulder joining the Angels until I read it was him that ruptured his Achilles.
