7 years agoNewly minted Texas Ranger Renato Nunez will start in left field against the Tampa Bay Rays. Nunez was claimed off of waivers from the Athletics and will get an opportunity with the big club immediately. The 24-year-old mashed 33 home runs a year ago between Oakland and Triple-A, but scouts don't seem to think that he'll make enough contact at the major league level to get to his considerable power. With few internal options and the Rangers insistence to delay Willie Calhoun's service time, Nunez will get some short-term opportunities and hope to stick on with Texas. There's little fantasy relevance at the moment, but if he does make decent contact, he'll be worth another look.--Sean Scampton
