As to your point above, that's just one of the great things about them moving him to third. He still has a plus arm for the position, and now he goes from having terrible range at short to plus range at third. He made two plays at third that never get made last year, and Andrus made one at short that Young never makes. That's going to make such a huge difference this season.

one other thing, im curious to see if we werent using a different gun than the rangers did last year. FF was sitting at 93 when he normally sits 95. Grieve said millwoods fastball was better than it ever was last year and he was at 92 when he hit 94-95 last year when he was on. Different guns can easily account for a couple of mph on a fastball.
