Surprise, Ariz. - It's difficult to make big-picture observations after attending one spring training game. However, I think I saw enough on Sunday to be super excited about the long-term future of 20-year old outfielder Nomar Mazara.
In a game the Rangers lost to the Mariners, 7-3, not much stood out. The Rangers trotted out their starting infield, which was nice. Adrian Beltre smashed a rope down the left-field line and was promptly pulled, as if to say, yep, you're pretty much in midseason form already. The Mariners stole six bases on Nick Tepesch and Chris Gimenez, which hurt both players' chances of making the opening day roster.
Mazara definitely stood out, though.

5 Burning Questions at Rangers Spring Training - Live in Arizona
Scottsdale, Ariz. - The last time I attended spring training was 10 years ago. It was one of the most memorable trips I've ever taken. I was a senior at the University of Kansas and three of my best friends (@bsiegel26, @neilsenratings and @bestmattwilson) and I jumped into a Ford Focus over spring break and drove 18 hours from Lawrence to Phoenix.
Can't wait to see how the Surprise spring training complex, home to my hometown Texas Rangers and now World Series Champion Kansas City Royals, has grown over the last 10 years. It was only three years old in 2006 and arguably the nicest complex out here.
