Oh, crap - injury bug hits Ranger pitching

Rangers' #2 Adam Eaton is the first casualty - a tendon on his pitching hand let go yesterday. The scary part of this is he suffered pretty much all last year from the same injury. He thinks he's going on the DL, which is never good news.

The Rangers had JUST named RA Dickey as starter #5. Other options for Eaton's replacement are Edinson Volquez, Juan Dominguez, and apparently, John Danks or Thomas Diamond, neither of whom have made it past AA yet.

It's way too early for this sort of nonsense, but it gives you an idea of how thin the Rangers' pitching is, improved or not.
