ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – It has been one month since Chris Young moved into the top seat on the Rangers’ flow chart, effectively sitting down at the dinner table to figure out how to eat an elephant. In another month, he will sit down to a second helping: Trying to figure out all the pieces to solving a pitching puzzle that has forever mystified the Rangers.
The weekend offered what could be viewed as one small, but helpful hint. If Tampa Bay calls, offering to take a pitcher or two off the end of the roster, to you know, help out … mark it as spam and block the number.
Nothing good comes from sending Tampa Bay pitchers.
