Lefty Chris Nunn, who pitched in 15 games for CC and Fresno last year before getting released, was signed by the Rangers after a video went viral on twitter showing him throwing 97-99 in a workout. He's apparently pain-free after a left hip problem affected his mechanics for several years. Nice story.

Good story in the local paper about former farmhand Gilberto Celistino.   He got sent to Minnesota in the Ryan Pressley trade last year.
