00:00I have become somewhat concerned over the last week or so and now you add in injuries
00:20to John Gray, further complications with Cody Bradford.
00:24What is the proper concern level for the rotation at the start of the year?
00:29Well, I think given especially where we've seen injuries in baseball in recent years,
00:35I think for the Rangers at this point, probably a six or a seven would be the level of concern.
00:42You know, if all things go right with the guys that they have, they'll be fine, I think
00:47in the end.
00:48But, you know, Jacob DeGrom's injury history is his injury history and Nathan, of all these
00:53injury histories, is what it is and you just hope that they're able to hold together.
00:58Now, I would say this, you know, I think from the Rangers' perspective, playing in the American
01:02League West, the bar is not as high as it's been in the past.
01:07You'd be especially concerned about these injuries if they were playing in the American
01:11League East or if they're playing in the National League East, but they're playing in the American
01:16League West, which is, I think you guys would agree with me, it's kind of taken a step down
01:21in recent years with the Astros going from a dominant presence to a team that probably
01:27at its best would win 90 games.
