The Rangers are giving Neftali Feliz a chance to make their starting rotation this spring. Feliz signed a one-year deal Thursday for $457,160. He was third in the AL with 40 saves in 70 appearances and a 2.73 ERA last season. Texas did the same thing with reliever C.J. Wilson last year, and Wilson ended up with 15 wins and returns as the club's top starter. "It's an opportunity for him to get out there and have a chance to use all his pitches," manager Ron Washington said Friday. "As an organization, we just want to make sure we don't shortchange this kid. That's why we want to give him a chance to see if he can start."
