Eli's MLB Rumors:
The Rangers and Kris Benson have agreed to a minor league deal with an invitation to big league camp.

While it doesn't look like any of these guys will have serious impacts on the Rangers 2009 campaign, they will give some of the Rangers' regular pitchers more time off to prepare for the regular season.
