If you’re familiar with Chicago, you’d understand why A.J. would live closer to Wrigley than Comiskey or whatever the Sox call that stadium.

McClellan gives Rangers intriguing option
Kyle McClellan is trying quickly to win over what he hopes is his new fan base with the Texas Rangers.
While McClellan played a role in St. Louis getting to the postseason in 2011, he's quick to point out that his right arm played no role in the crushing blow to the Rangers that was the 2011 World Series.
McClellan is hoping to ease some of that pain this year by being a key...

Joe Nathan was shut down yesterday and not allowed to participate in intrasquad games, but Nathan and the Texas Rangers said it was no big deal.

Lighter Moreland has heavier role with Texas
SURPRISE, Ariz. – Coming off an up-and-down 2012 campaign, Mitch Moreland enters this season looking to solidify himself as the Texas Rangers' everyday first baseman. Moreland worked hard in the offseason, dropping some weight and facing a left-handed pitcher on a daily basis.
Lindblom in Texas after twice traded
SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) -- Josh Lindblom has had a unique experience while playing only one full season in the major leagues.
The reliever has already been traded twice for All-Star players.
Lindblom is now in Texas after being dealt during baseball's winter meetings from Philadelphia with another reliever for longest-tenured Rangers player Michael Young. Less than six months...

Elvis Andrus bats leadoff for a very good lineup. Even though he doesn’t have serious gap power, his on-base ability (career .342) and speed (30.75 steals per season) help him wind up in scoring position often. Last year Andrus hit 31 doubles and nine triples and stole 21 bases. Assuming most of those thefts were of second (off singles, walks, or errors), Andrus put himself in...

We have had to deal with a lot of speculation about the Rangers’ infield this off-season. It is not as if the Rangers are in trouble, they have the “problem” of a looming logjam. Shortstop super-prospect Jurickson Profar is knocking on the door. The Rangers also have Ian Kinsler at second and under contract through 2017, and Elvis Andrus, who is only 24, at shortstop and under...

Kinsler, Rangers upended by Royals
SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) -- Brandon Wood believes he can still fulfill his potential, and the Kansas City Royals are willing to give him that chance.

When he was 20, Wood set California League records with 43 home runs and 101 extra-base hits in 2005. That...
Royals top Rangers
SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) -- Matt Harrison knew he wasn't going to be as sharp as he was last season, when he won 18 games and made the AL All-Star team. Still, he didn't think his spring training debut would be this bad.
The 27-year-old left-hander gave up four runs on six hits in the first inning as the Texas Rangers lost 7-5 to the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.
