The first cuts of the spring were announced today. Here they are:
Optioned to AAA: Edinson Volquez, Armando Galarraga, Daniel Haigwood.
Reassigned to Minor League Camp: Thomas Diamond, Eric Hurley, Jose Vargas, & Scott Rice.
Most of these are procedural in my opinion – the only one of these names that had a realistic shot of making the club was Volquez, who by all accounts has been very wild this spring.
According to the official press release from the Rangers, there are now 52 players on the club’s spring training roster. Of the 52 players remaining in camp, 26 are pitchers, six are catchers, 10 are infielders and 10 are outfielders.
