The Texas Rangers enter Spring Training with most of the roster set, but one position remains unsettled. Second base.

After trading Gold Glove winner Marcus Semien to the Mets for Brandon Nimmo, the Rangers chose to look inward rather than outside the organization to fill the opening. Five players are in the mix for the lone position battle of camp, with Josh Smith viewed as the early favorite. But as a left-handed hitter, Smith could wind up in a platoon with Ezequiel Duran, Cody Freeman, Sam Haggerty, or Michael Helman.

Cody Freeman joins the show to talk about his offseason work, his expectations heading into camp, and how he views the competition at second base. We also look at how the Rangers might deploy the position once the season starts and whether a platoon approach makes the most sense.
