A continuing look at the Rangers 40-man roster. JOE PALUMBO Age: 26Left-Handed Pitcher The Rangers really want to see Joe Palumbo as a future arm in their rotation. Palumbo isn’t obliging them.

A continuing look at the Rangers 40-man roster. JOSE LECLERCAge: 27Right-Handed Pitcher Jose Leclerc was the closer. Until he wasn’t. Then the Rangers found another one.
