The Texas Rangers are making headlines as they finalize their Opening Day roster, and the spotlight is on the dynamic duo of Jack Leiter and Kumar Rocker. These two former Vanderbilt stars have faced their fair share of challenges, from injuries to inconsistent performances, yet they are now set to share a rotation in the big leagues. This raises some intriguing questions for us baseball fans.

First off, how do you feel about the decision to include both Leiter and Rocker in the rotation? Given their rocky paths to this point, do you think they can rise to the occasion and deliver consistent performances? Or are we setting ourselves up for disappointment, especially considering Leiter's struggles last season and Rocker's recent recovery from Tommy John surgery?

Moreover, with Evan Carter being optioned to Triple-A, what does this mean for the Rangers' outfield depth? Is this a smart move to allow Carter to develop further, or should the Rangers have taken a chance on him in the majors?

And let's not forget about Kevin Pillar making the roster as a veteran presence. Do you think his experience will be beneficial for the younger players, or is it time for the Rangers to fully embrace a youth movement?

As we gear up for the season, what bold predictions do you have for the Rangers? Will the Vandy Boys become a formidable force in the rotation, or will injuries and inconsistency plague their season? Share your thoughts and let's dive into what could be a pivotal year for Texas!
