The Rangers have a lot of unknowns on their roster going into the 2020 season. Even with all the external additions this team has made, there are still a number of questions that have to be answered. 

Will Corey Kluber regain his 2018 form? Can Mike Minor and Lance Lynn replicate their 2019 success? Can Joey Gallo replicate his near-superstar breakout in 2019? Can he stay healthy? Can Danny Santana duplicate his 2019 season? What will Willie Calhoun do in a full season? 

There are many more questions that surround the Rangers. This team is capable of quite a lot if they hit on most of these issues. If not, the 2020 season is going to be a struggle.

Manager Chris Woodward is not allowing his players off the hook. With a year under his belt as the Rangers' skipper, he has high expectations from his players. Listen to the audio above for his comments on what he expects. 

Rangers pitchers and catchers are currently working out in Surprise, Arizona. The full squad is required to report by Sunday, February 16th. The first full-squad workout is Monday, February 17th.
