Probably a good idea. There is no hurry.

Great stuff here from Tepid on our prospects in minor league camp. You know, guys not named Mazara, Rua, Gallo, Brinson, Cordell, and Profar. There are some updates on several guys and a whole lot of video.

Rangers like catchers behind Robinson Chirinos

Rua finishes his day 3 for 4 with a double.

Lots of hand wringing over a 5th starter who probably won't even have the job in June. Especially when we have at least two pitchers who've proven to be able to at least to a manageable job of holding the spot down for a few weeks at a time.

You know that other team was having no fun whatsoever facing these 2 guys.

Very nice Tom but there are 1 or 2 minor hurdles to clear.

Of course. Just good to see the team back in the discussion of championship-caliber possibilities.

It will be something for them to remember though.

Without a rash of starting pitching injuries I can definitely see that. If we lose any starting pitcher but Colby they would be very hard to replace. If we can avoid losing one of our top 4 pitchers we should be in a good position when October rolls around. Not that Colby would be easy to replace, but we could probably survive losing him and pick up another #5.

Three takeaways: Guthrie struggles, Desmond shines and Hanser Alberto shows off versatility in Rangers' loss to Colorado | SportsDay

As is occasionally his issue, Martin Perez seemed to get rattled after a bad break. He gave up a leadoff walk and consecutive singles in the fourth that led to two runs, one of which scored after Delino DeShields let a rolling single get past him. It seemed to still have an effect in the fifth as he allowed three consecutive one-out hits in the fifth and also made a bad pickoff throw. After allowing the last of those hits, he threw his hands in the air. Manager Jeff Banister removed him after the hit as he reached 73 pitches and was expected to throw 70-75.

Up next: RHP Colby Lewis is scheduled to start against San Diego at 3:05 p.m. CT (Webcast: Texasrangers.com). Lewis will be followed by RHP Nick Tepesch and RHP Tom Wilhelmsen. San Diego starts RHP Andrew Cashner of TCU.

Rua leads the Rangers this spring in extra base hits with 7. The next best is several guys tied with 3 each.
