Evan Grant, Rangers beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the team in a live chat recently. Here are some highlights:

Question: Do you think Kela will ever rejoin the team?

Evan Grant: Yes. And I hope he does. What Kela did, at least in perception, was unacceptable. He reportedly did not put honest effort into an intrasquad game when all the other bullpen pitchers were throwing. That's just wrong. But, on its own, I don't think that is an offense worthy of trading the guy just to be rid of him. He's too talented and, I think, a guy who wants to be the best he can be. Sometimes he's got an unusual way of showing that. Sometimes it rubs veterans the wrong way. But few veterans can identify with the kind of life Kela has had. Just as Kela can probably not identify much with the backgrounds of Adrian Beltre, Beltre can't identify with Kela's background. And same goes for so much of this international roster. At the end of the day, though, a lack of effort is a serious lack of professionalism and that must be stated clearly to Kela. He must accept that and apologize. And then the Rangers must go to work trying to understand him better, too. And what offends, motivates, annoys him. I think things can be solved with a good conversation that involves give and take and all sides acknowledging that sometimes things go wrong and that everybody must accept culpability.

Question: Who are the top prospects that I should watch out for at the RoughRiders game tonight?

Evan Grant: RHP Connor Sadzeck and C Jose Trevino are the first guys that come to my mind. But I haven't seen a lineup yet today, so not sure exactly who all is playing. Look for Sadzeck's velocity and how well he throws strikes with it. Look for how Trevino handles him from behind the plate.

Question: What was the reason the rangers set their rotation to start the season with Hamels starting Game 3?

Evan Grant: Think they wanted to give Cole the fifth day of rest early in the season. Also, allows them to insert Cashner or Gee into the necessary spot on the 15th and break up left-handers. And finally, think the WBC played some havoc with Martin Perez's schedule and it's very possible the schedule necessitated the day each guy would pitch.

Question: Do you think Dyson's problems could be the highs of WBC championship to return to spring training. I hear he was at Kela's game, also. Too much? Lucroy seems a little flat offensively, too.

Evan Grant: This is just a working theory and I have nothing to base it on, but Rangers management is at least wondering the same thing: Could there be a WBC 'hangover.' Banister mentioned it right after the guys came back, but it was in the context of "it might take them a couple of days to get back into the flow." What I'm thinking is that you got yourself ready for the WBC, played big games with big leverage for two weeks and had an emotional finish. Then you have a come down in the drudgery of spring training. And now, all of a sudden, you are supposed to ramp back up immediately for the regular season. Kind of stop and go there. Not great for car engines or athletes. I think in the case of Dyson, perhaps it leads to him trying to create more adrenaline, rush his delivery and eliminate some of the movement. That's as good a working theory as I have right now.

Question: How do you think Brocail is doing ? Adequate pitching coach?

Evan Grant: I think Doug is a fine pitching coach, mostly because he's willing to give and take. Coaching isn't just about telling pitchers what to do, but also why and listening to their own input. I get every indication Brocail is willing to do that. Mike Maddux was very smart and very prepared. But if Mike had a shortcoming, I'd say he was less willing to talk things out with his pitchers than Brocail is. I expect Brocail to have success here.
