I rarely mention my fantasy team, but I’ll make an exception here because it says a lot about today‘s interview subject. I play in a Scoresheet league with a bunch of baseball-media types — many of us stat nerds — and we’re allowed to protect up to 10 players. I didn’t keep Matt Harrison.

ARLINGTON, Texas Texas catcher Mike Napoli is eligible to come off the disabled list Sunday but it's not going to happen.
Napoli, who is on the DL with a strained left quad, still isn't running the bases. Texas manager Ron Washington is hoping to have Napoli available around Sept. 1, which is also when the rosters expand.
"We won't write that in stone,"...

ARLINGTON, Texas Left-hander Derek Holland has been the man when it comes to Harry Caray impersonations with the Texas Rangers.
The acquisition of Ryan Dempster at the trade deadline last month changed that.
Holland, who took his Caray work to a national level last year during the World Series, got a chance to work with the godfather of Caray impersonations last week when the...

Who doesn't love a weekend off? It apparently worked wonders for Texas Rangers right-hander Ryan Dempster, who was on the restricted list over the weekend because of "personal reasons related to visa issues." Dempster might not have been able to get into his native Canada, but he made himself right at home back in Texas. After a rough start at Yankee Stadium last...

For whatever reason, there's a segment of fans who seem more concerned about the 2015 Texas Rangers than what happening this season. Even some of my colleagues in the media seem obsessed with trying to trade All-Star shortstop Elvis Andrus to make room for one of the top prospects in baseball, Jurickson Profar.
There seems to be such a fascination with the unknown that it causes...

Rangers manager Ron Washington said after Texas' 5-3 loss to the Orioles the right-hander will be reevaluated Wednesday but is expected to make his next scheduled start Thursday against the Twins in Arlington.
''It's no issue,'' Washington...

The Texas Rangers have decided not to take any chances with Yu Darvish's tight right quadriceps. After a staff meeting that included Darvish, manager Ron Washington decided to skip Darvish's scheduled start Thursday and move him back to Tuesday against Tampa to give the quadriceps muscle time to settle down. Darvish has had some issues with the quad over the course of the...

Ryan Dempster and Derek Holland had some fun in the MLB Fan Cave. The two pitchers announced some MLB highlights as legendary Chicago Cubs announcer Harry Caray.
I guess Dempster had picked up some tips from Will Ferrell already. And Holland has some television experience outside of baseball.
These guys are are a hilarious. I’m hoping they bring out some extra cheers if the Rangers...
