So, Willie Calhoun.
As everyone knows by now, Willie Calhoun was optioned to AAA Round Rock on Sunday. The Rangers had to drop down to a 26 man roster as of May 2, and Calhoun was one of the two players sent down to make that happen.
The move was not without some controversy, with folks (not unreasonably) asking with Zach Reks stayed up while Calhoun was sent down. Kole Calhoun, the veteran right fielder who was signed this offseason to shore up the outfield, has been performing even worse than Willie Calhoun, prompting questions as to why the Rangers didn’t simply cut Kole, though of course Willie Calhoun being able to be optioned pretty much answers that question.
