SURPRISE, Ariz. -- This could be fun to watch.

The Rangers are debating the wisdom of having left-handed pitcher Martin Perez in the rotation at the start of the season, while he is finishing the recovery from a broken bone in his right elbow.

Perez insists there is no debate.

"I don't care what they think, I am going to be ready," Perez said.

Well ...

"He doesn't determine that," pitching coach Doug Brocail said.

This could end up being quite the fight.

"I am not going to fight," Perez said.
