SURPRISE, Ariz. -- For the second straight year, Rangers right-hander A.J. Griffin enters Spring Training having to win a spot in the rotation.
He may be better equipped to do so this spring. He has lost weight, smoothed out his delivery and is one year more removed from the arm injuries that sidelined him for almost all of 2014-15.
"Arm-wise I feel better than I have in ages." Griffin said Tuesday as pitchers and catchers reported for Spring Training. "I'm actually excited to throw the ball again."
