Rangers signed LHP Joe Saunders to a one-year contract. Terms of the deal aren't yet known. With Derek Holland (knee) out until midseason and Matt Harrison behind schedule due to a back injury, Saunders will give the Rangers some rotation depth. The veteran lefty had an ugly 5.26 ERA and 1.60 WHIP in 32 starts with the Mariners and would appear to be a very poor fit in Texas. Still, it looks like he has a decent chance to begin the year in the rotation.
