SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Rangers pitching coach Doug Brocail has a simple request for his pitchers.
"I don't want them to be a Doug Brocail," he said.
Brocail is not talking about trying to cure a heart attack with an asthma inhaler or trying to set a world record for fastest return from Tommy John surgery.
He is talking about them being honest rather than bullheaded like a certain Major League reliever who spent 15 years in the big leagues despite two Tommy John surgeries, two heart procedures, one appendix removed and a dozen other assorted arm operations.
