“A.J. was a monster last season with Chicago, so he gets another 1-year deal where he has to prove his worth. Playing for a Rangers team that will need A.J. to replace Napoli and Josh Hamilton, he should get plenty of opporunities for a big year. Age could be a factor as last season seemed to be a fluke, but those 27 HRs were as consistent as any. It is not likely he will build on those numbers from a year ago, but he can easily duplicate.”

 
 

“Manager Eric Wedge says Justin Smoak will get the bulk of time at first base and Kendrys Morales at DH unless something drastic happens during the spring.”
