With five weeks before the start of Spring Training, the Texas Rangers haven't settled their designated hitter role.

Mitch Moreland is the leading candidate, but he hasn't been publicly anointed as such.

"The way it's gone, I'm still not sure," Moreland said. "They have definitely made a lot of moves and been very active this offseason. From what I know right now, I'm still here and still a Texas Ranger and happy to be here, and looking forward to the season."

Moreland finished last season as the team's first baseman, but he lost that job when Texas acquired Prince Fielder from the Detroit Tigers.

Jon Daniels has at least acknowledged the possibility of acquiring a right-handed bat to go with Moreland at the position. Michael Choice, acquired from the Oakland Athletics on Dec. 3, is another platoon possibility with Moreland.
