The Texas Rangers Opening Day roster still has a few unsettled positions, a couple of which are in the bullpen. The Rangers went into spring training with no real front runner among the candidates for the lefthanded relief role, with Jeffrey Springs, C.D. Pelham, Brady Feigl and Kyle Bird seen as the most likely candidates, and guys like Zac Curtis and Miguel del Pozo seen as guys who could force their way into the mix.
Well, its now 10 days before Opening Day, Pelham has been optioned, Feigl, Curtis and del Pozo have been sent to the major league camp, and according to Chris Woodward, the guy who is fighting with Bird and Springs to start the season in the major league pen is none other than Brett Martin — someone who I don’t think anyone thought a month ago had a chance of making the team out of camp.
