Of course the Texas Rangers started the season with last years closer holding the same position and that being Shawn Tolleson. Tolleson has had his troubles this year with a couple of stints not he DL and some time in the minors. His Father has had major struggles with cancer during the season and there is not telling what kind of toll that can take on an individual.
Sometimes we forget that these players are people too who have life going on around them and usually they are so busy traveling and playing that they rarely are able to take care of day to day things.
