The Rangers have reportedly agreed to terms with Lance Berkman, who is expected to serve as their designated hitter.

He is also projected by some to hit fifth behind Adrian Beltre.

Berkman was a .323 hitter with a .909 OPS and six home runs in 39 games (130 at-bats) as a designated hitter in interleague play for the Astros and St. Cardinals, and a stint in the AL with the Yankees.
