Sunday Texas Rangers things

Good morning, folks...

After being told on Friday that he had made the final roster for the Texas Rangers, pitcher Jason Hammel informed the team yesterday that he was retiring.

Jeff Wilson writes that Hammel’s late decision has the team with some decisions to make to fill out the bullpen.

Willie Calhoun reported to camp on Saturday, and called Chris Woodward, Jon Daniels and teammates Friday night to say that he was going to work hard in AAA and do what he needed to do to be ready for a call-up, and not let the demotion affect his performance.
