Kinsler pep in step following ankle procedure
ARLINGTON, Texas Add Ian Kinsler to the long list of Texas Rangers players who had some work done in the offseason.
Kinsler, who suffered a high-ankle sprain during spring training in 2010, had a platelet-rich plasma injection in his right ankle to separate the ligament from the bone a week after the 2011 season ended.
The results have been astonishing.

Rangers' Infield - Three Beemers and a Dodge
These new Texas Rangers have been an amazing story the past two years. Most baseball fans through the years remember how the Rangers were always a one-dimensional team. They could always pound the ball, but they could never pitch. From 1997 through 2008 (a twelve year stretch), the Rangers gave up an average of 883 runs per game. In seven of those seasons, the pitching staff gave...

Fantasy Baseball 2012: Second Basemen Tiers
Your fantasy baseball draft(s) are right around the corner. Here’s my try at separating 25 second basemen into six tiers.
Tiers are very subjective and one player could easily be considered just good enough or just bad enough to be in the next higher or lower tier.
Let me know what you think and check out my fantasy baseball first basemen tiers.
