With 45 days to go until Opening Day of the 2011 baseball season, Rangers’ pitchers and catchers officially reported to Surprise, Arizona today where they will prepare to defend their first-ever American League pennant.
Currently, the Rangers have 23 pitchers and four catchers on the roster and expected to be in camp, including Mike Napoli. That number will be trimmed to 1 or 13 pitchers and two catchers. Mike Napoli can catch but will likely act as a utility player on the Opening Day.
The first workout for members of the battery is Thursday.
All other position players, including Michael Young, will arrive Saturday. Owners Chuck Greenberg and Nolan Ryan and General Manager Jon Daniels see Young as a valuable part of the future of the Rangers.
