ARLINGTON, Texas — As the Chrises in charge of the Rangers go, one is given a bit to hyperbole, the other not so much.
So, when ebullient, optimistic manager Chris Woodward speaks of a player being the best he’s ever seen at anything, you chalk it up to enthusiasm. But when it’s the more reserved and measured GM, Chris Young, who slips for even a moment into hype man mode, you take note.
Like Monday, for example. Talking about the start of rookie Ezequiel Duran, he let this slip: “It’s been phenomenal.”
