In our Rangers Reacts Survey this week, we asked which Texas Ranger would lead the team in home runs.

Amidst the first full day of Western Hemisphere-oriented World Baseball Classic games, spring training took the back seat, if not a full day off broadcasting.

That’s six of a possible eight points. It puts them four points out of a wildcard spot heading into Tuesday ni...
