How’s his defense. The Rangers have enough average bats that are not good defensively.

and does anyone believe he won't open the season on the roster?

 

[DTC]

Wondering if the Rangers match up in a trade for Austin Meadows and Kevin Kiermaier both.

 

[scotsman1948]

The club has had a busy offseason, upgrading their position player mix with Corey Seager, Marcus Semien, Mitch Garver and Kole Calhoun. They also added another multi-position guy yesterday when they signed Brad Miller. Given that Miller hits from the left, he and Culberson could make for a nice platoon pairing, perhaps at third base or in the outfield corners, depending on how some of the other players on the roster perform.

nope.

 

[scotsman1948]

how many players are teams going to be able carry on the roster to start the season? i've heard anywhere from the normal 25 to 30

 

[scotsman1948]

even the Royals are getting into act:

Zack Greinke is going back to his roots. The free-agent righty has agreed to a one-year deal with the Royals, pending the completion of a physical, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports (via Twitter). Greinke, a client of Excel Sports Management, will be guaranteed $13MM and can earn another $2MM via innings-based incentives, tweets Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
