Share: Rangers | Robbie Ross working as starter Tue, 03 Dec 2013 12:17:30 -0800 Texas Rangers RP Robbie Ross is working as a starting pitcher in the Dominican Republic Winter League this offseason after he made 123 relief outings in the last two years. He's asked the Rangers to allow him another shot to work as a starter in 2014. Ross didn't retire a hitter in his first winter ball start but had a 1.38 ERA with 11 base runners and 11 strikeouts in 13 innings in his last three starts. Ross has shown improvement pitching inside to lefties and has made strides with his breaking ball and cutter. Share: Rangers | Neftali Feliz pitching in winter ball Tue, 03 Dec 2013 12:14:09 -0800 Texas Rangers RP Neftali Feliz made his fourth relief appearance in 10 days Friday, Nov. 29, in the Dominican Republic Winter League. He's in the final stages of his rehab from Tommy John surgery and will be competing with RPs Tanner Scheppers and Joakim Soria for the closer role next year. Feliz pitched 15 1/3 innings from rookie ball to the big leagues last season. He struck out three of the 10 hitters he faced in his first three winter ball outings and allowed only one hit while topping out at 95-97 mph. "Health-wise, he's probably 95 percent with his delivery and all of that," pitching coach Gary Ruby said. "He's thrown very hard, and the changeup has been way above average. The breaking ball needs some work, but he's really close." Feliz is receiving two days of rest after each appearance. Fantasy Tip: Feliz has plenty of time to get to 100 percent health. If he doesn't suffer any setbacks between now and spring training, he should be considered the favorite to take the ninth-inning duties over Soria or Scheppers. Share: Rangers | Michael Choice acquired Tue, 03 Dec 2013 11:58:31 -0800 The Texas Rangers acquired OF Michael Choice and INF Chris Bostick from the Oakland Athletics Tuesday, Dec. 3, in exchange for OF Craig Gentry and SP Josh Lindblom.

Choice was selected 10th overall in the 2010 draft by the Athletics and made his major league debut in September by going 5-for-18 (.278) in nine games. "Michael is a guy we followed in his amateur days literally down the block," general manager Jon Daniels said.
