It is just about time for pitchers and catchers to report. It is time to start discussing where we are after an offseason that gave us our share of surprises. It is time to start discussing how the 25-man roster will take shape. It is also time to start discussing which minor leaguers will be the ones to follow closely this year.

Which 5 to 10 minor leaguers will you guys be following the progress of the most this year? Of course, everyone will follow Jung and Huff. I think Crouse, Winn, Phillips, Henriquez and White will be the starting pitchers most worth paying close attention to. For me, the other position players who would fit in that category are Seise, Foscue, Wendzel, Apostle, Acosta, Acuna, and Carter.

Is it 25 man rosters? Or 26 again?

I am not sure on that one.
I’m pretty sure they’re 26 this year

as far as my minor leaguer list of players to watch...

Blaine Crim, Tyreque Reed, Keithron Moss, Kellen Strahm, Curtis Terry, Kole Enright, Ryan Garcia, Joshua Javier, Jose Corniell and Zion Bannister

I think these guys will all take big steps forward this year

Not sure what Spring Training will look like post-pandemic. The Rangers had the most fan-accessible facility in AZ. Hopefully they return to that in the future.

I hope everyone is managing this winter storm bullshit OK. I haven't lost power yet but the water was shut off yesterday afternoon.

We have been very blessed to this point. The only thing we had to do without is our cable internet, and it has been back on for awhile now.

Hope everyone else is fine.

Rangers general manager Chris Young says there could be another addition to the roster, but they are satisfied with where the roster is as camp opens up.

-Rangers manager Chris Woodward said today that pitchers Dane Dunning and Kyle Cody will be kept under a certain number of innings this season, but would not give an exact number. Both pitchers are coming off recent significant injuries and a shortened 2020 season.

Rangers Injuries​

-Demarcus Evans has a lat injury that will keep him off a mound until mid-March.
-Brock Burke will be ramped up slowly coming off major shoulder surgery in 2020.
-Justin Anderson (Tommy John surgery) will not pitch in camp.
-Joely Rodriguez sprained his ankle in the offseason and is a bit behind schedule.

The Rangers are also dealing with visa delays with four players:

-Joely Rodriguez
-Hyun-jong Yang
-José Leclerc
-Fernery Ozuna
