a few tidbits i found, not sure it helps but wtf--
?Catcher Hector Ortiz will make his Rangers debut tonight in place of Bill Haselman, manager Jerry Narron said. Rangers outfielder Carl Everett might also have a day off as Narron tries to give some regulars a break from playing on the Skydome artificial surface.
For the second straight day, manager Jerry Narron started a lineup that included Michael Young, Rusty Greer and Frank Catalanotto. Kapler, without a position, was on the bench. The reasoning is simple: Young is hot right now, Kapler is not. While
Kapler has a .284 average for the season, he had just one RBI in 67 April at-bats. Young has 16 hits in his last 42 at-bats. "When we play a left-handed pitcher, Gabe will be in the lineup for sure," Narron said. "And he will face some right-handed pitchers, too. Right now, it comes down to Michael Young or Gabe Kapler on a lot of nights. Michael Young has done a very good job for us."
