Yeah, pre season games are a blast, you can get up close to the players and sometimes actually hold a conversation. My brother went to Ft. Myers last year for a Red Sox training game and held a conversation with right fielder Trot Nixon for 10 minutes.
The Rangers have been going through a few rebuilding years but have been getting a lot better, they have an excellent chance to get Rodger Clemens if he decides to play the season after the WBC.
I'm not really looking forward to the WBC, I don't like the timing of it. Right before the beginning of the season is a bad idea! Do it after September, there are plenty of stadiums and what not, that way if someone gets hurt they have all offseason to heal, instead of 3 weeks before opening day!
