ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Rangers starting rotation has already shed three members of its opening-day crew. The team has run through a pair of the organization’s top-tier prospects without anything to show for it. In the last week, a 35-year-old reliever took up residence in the rotation, because, oh, why not?
And, so naturally, in this season in which nothing fits together, the starting rotation has become an asset in the Rangers’ run to -- hang on, let me check my notes -- 10 games over .500 and a tie for the wild card lead.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
