OAKLAND, Calif. - The Rangers welcomed Willie Calhoun back to the major leagues Thursday with a seemingly bold statement.
"I want to see him play," said manager Chris Woodward.
And then he sat him down for his first day back in the majors.
Which leads to this question: What exactly does Woodward have in store for Calhoun as the Rangers' season seems to inch farther from surprising playoff contention and closer to experimentation and future auditions?
The answer: Wait a week or so.
Calhoun was in the starting lineup Friday against Oakland, but Woodward said he can't make any guarantees at the moment.
