Hank Blalock is hitting well and making a case to be in the Rangers' lineup next season. The Rangers could exercise his $6.2 million option for 2009 and either play him or trade him. The club also could buy out his contract for $250,000. "I don't know what the club is going to do," Blalock said. "I don't worry about things that I can't control. All I can do is prepare and work hard to stay healthy and play well every day."
