ARLINGTON -- The Rangers have called up outfielder/first baseman Jason Botts from Triple-A Oklahoma and optioned infielder Drew Meyer to the RedHawks.

Botts has played first base and outfield, but he is mainly looked at as a designated hitter and he could impact Phil Nevin's playing time.

Time for me to find a replacement, it looks like.

Maybe Tex's role will be diminished . That way I could at least get him out of my lineup. Damned lead weight

right now they are saying nevin will dh vs lefties, botts vs righties.... but im sure they will keep a tight leash on botts, and yank him the first sign of struggles.

though he is the dh of the future for texas.
