Evan Grant grades the Rangers

As a unit, the Rangers outfield was beset by slumps and injuries . It would be easy to write it off as a subpar year for the club, but there were still some pretty solid contributions, like Marlon Byrd's career year, Cruz's 33 homers and late-season addition Julio Borbon's electrifying speed.

Wednesday morning Rangers things

Evan Grant has his grades for the outfielders up this morning, and Marlon Byrd gets an "A," while Nelson Cruz and David Murphy are both "B"s.
