I've always liked Arias. He's just stuck behind Kinsler and Andrus. He get to play a few games, and if he does not hit the ground running, Washington goes to Blanco or brings in a Guzman.
It's funny though that the Rangers need Francouer. When healthy, they can't play all their outfielders. Both Borbon and Murphy shoud start. however, the "when healthy" is huge when you have Cruz and Hamilton.
Hamilton, BTW, is getting another Synvisc injection for his knee. this is the same stuff Mike Lowell uses for his hip labrum. IT is a syntheitc lubricant. I don't know about whether A-Rod and Utley use it as well. If there is a med expert out there, add a comment. Is it an indication of something chronic or degeneration?
