MESA, Ariz. — Even before the Rangers got to spring training, it was pretty clear the biggest issues were not about roster decisions, but rather health...
without issue . Now comes, finalizing the end of the roster: A bench player, a bullpen arm. Not what you would call impact players. But how they handle those final decisions will say a lot about their intent.Either they inform infielder Ezequiel Duran and pitcher Cole Ragans they have made the club and reinforce the creation of a “championship culture” or they conduct business as usual.
Bochy has said the same thing over and over this spring. This season is about winning, not developing. To send Duran or Ragans out would simply send a message to the team that the roster consists of something other than the best 26 players in camp. Consider Bochy’s description of Duran’s spring after Thursday’s game, in which he vaporized two baseballs to left and center, giving him the team lead in extra-base hits this spring . After a hit in two at-bats in Friday’s 5-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs, Duran is hitting .360 with a 1.065 OPS for the spring. Among guys with at least 25 at-bats this spring, only Corey Seager, with the Rangers’ longest spring training hitting streak games since 2006, and Robbie Grossman have higher OPS.
Both Duran and Ragans have been models of the planks in GM Chris Young’s winning culture platform: Compete with a passion, be a good teammate and dominate the fundamentals.
