ARLINGTON -- A Rangers offseason is almost never without major changes, and that was the case this offseason, when pitching coach Mike Maddux and hitting coach Dave Magadan were replaced by Doug Brocail and Anthony Iapoce.
But after a major overhaul of the coaching staff, which also included the promotions of Brad Holman to bullpen coach and Justin Mashore to assistant hitting coach, the Rangers had a relatively quiet offseason as far as player transactions. The re-signing of pitcher Colby Lewis was probably the biggest move the Rangers made this winter.
"You are always trying to improve the club," Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said.
