RANGERS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Setbacks can't keep Neal Cotts down
Joe Bick rattles off the date -- Feb. 10, 2012. It was the day Bick, an agent, broke difficult news to his client, left-hander Neal Cotts.
"Neal, it's heartbreaking for me to tell you this, but I think we've run out of chances," Bick recalls saying. "I'd be surprised if we're able to get you a job."
No team would take a chance on Cotts, who had...

Prospect Profile: Jurickson Profar | INF | TEX
As a rule, we fantasy owners love to own prospects before our fellow owners. There’s little as rewarding as grabbing a minor leaguer before he becomes a household name and then watching as he develops into a stud. But how do you sort the big-timers from part-timers? Prospect Profile is here to help. This week we examine Rangers uber-prospect, Jurickson Profar.Player Name: Jurickson...
Texas Rangers Recall Ross Wolf, Option Cory Burns
The Texas Rangers changed up their bullpen some on Wednesday, purchasing the contract of right-handed reliever Ross Wolf from Triple-A Round Rock while optioning right-handed reliever Cory Burns to the same minor league affiliate. Don’t look for Wolf to make a huge impact, and could be shuffled to the minoors quickly. But he has been very solid in the minors this year so if he...
Darvish gives up one run in loss
Where, oh where has the Rangers offense gone? I feel like they used it all in the Detroit series. Or something. All I know is I want it back.
Yu Darvish pitched six frames, and the only Oakland run was a home run by Yeonis Cespedes. Honestly, Darvish wasn’t his sharpest tonight, but he was still good enough for a win. If only he’d had a little offense to help him out.
Unfortunately...
Cotts back in majors; Rangers skipping Tepesch
Left-hander Neal Cotts is back in the major leagues for the first time since 2009.
The Texas Rangers purchased the reliever's contract from Triple-A Round Rock before Tuesday night's game against Oakland. Cotts had ligament replacement surgery in 2009.
Texas also activated catcher A.J. Pierzynski from the disabled list. He was in the starting lineup after being out since...

Jurickson Profar Opportunity Is Calling Your Name
When the season began many people expected that top prospect Jurickson Profar would make the Texas Rangers Opening Day roster. Texas instead opted to send their young superstar to Triple-A Round Rock and this would allow him to enhance his skills as a player.
There would be an opportunity for him to join the team if a player was injured during the season. That chance has come up...
Rangers' Lewis has work to do after rehab start
FRISCO, Texas At least Colby Lewis felt fine physically after making his rehab start for Frisco Monday.
As for how Lewis felt he pitched, well that wasn't so good.
"I definitely need more reps," said Lewis. "I definitely need to go out there and get my arm strength up. Eighty five or 86 isn't going to cut it, not for me anyways. I definitely need to go out...

Ian Kinsler to the DL, Jurickson Profar called up

According to Todd Willis of ESPN Dallas, Kinsler was placed on the DL retroactive to Saturday. He is suffering...
Change in order helps Murphy lift Rangers
ARLINGTON, Texas Moving up in the batting order was intended to get a slumping David Murphy more involved in the action. You can't get more involved than Murphy's 3-run homer in the sixth Sunday night.
The blast to right field gave the Rangers the lead for good in a tumultuous, 11-8 Texas win.
Murphy moved up to the No. 2 spot in the order the day before in a shuffling...

Darvish feels good heading into Tuesday start
ARLINGTON, Texas While some people may be concerned about how the 130-pitch outing by Yu Darvish in his last start will impact him Tuesday, Darvish isn't one of them.
The right-hander, who is scheduled to pitch against Oakland Tuesday, hasn't changed anything about his routine since he beat the Tigers Thursday.

The Texas Rangers may eventually fade, their record is fools gold….
This club’s record is fool’s gold. Their brainless trust has made a series of stupid personnel moves which will culminate in many more games a like the one we just witnessed last night as the season progresses. There is no way on earth Texas’ offense can compensate for the 230(+) RBI’s that they surrendered by not keeping Josh Hamilton and CHRIS DAVIS, who, if you’ll recall...
