5 years agoTexas Rangers first baseman Greg Bird had a terrible day at the plate on Tuesday on the same day that his manager challenged him to win the job. Bird was one of four players to play the whole game against the Chicago White Sox and was the only one unable to record a hit in the 9-2 victory. His final line was 0-for-5 with two strikeouts, and Bird's slash line is a weak .103/.188/.103 through 10 games this spring. The Rangers have options if neither Bird or Guzman stake their claim at first. Todd Frazier took grounders over there on Tuesday, and Nick Solak, Danny Santana, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa can all also play infield positions. The former-Yankee could be looking for a new team is he does not start hitting soon and is not worth the draft capital in any leagues outside of the deepest AL-only formats.--Euan Leith
