Bannister believes in his approach
Published 3/3/2008 by Dick Kaegel at Major League Baseball News
Brian Bannister won 12 games in his first year with the Royals and is being heavily counted on again this year. Bannister says he's not sharp yet, though against the Rangers on Sunday he pitched three innings, the first K.C. pitcher to do so this spring.

After a poor start to the 2003 season, shoulder problems forced him to miss the remainder of the year as well as 2004. The Texas Rangesr signed him in 2005 and despite some strong Triple-A numbers (.301/.379/.489 and 14 homers) never called him up to the majors. He’d spend 2006 playing in Triple-A for Pittsburgh and spent last season in Triple-A for Tampa Bay hitting .284/.384/.488. The RaysNon Roster Invitee: Jamey Wright - Rangers

I understand there are reasons not to be excited about seeing him back so I will at least mention them as well. Last season marked only the second time in his career that he had more innings pitched then hits allowed. (The other was 2003 when he allowed 23 hits in 25.1 innings) Further evidence that last season was a fluke could be evident by his career best 1.47 WHIP based on seasons with 50 or mTEXAS RANGERS Blog | The Dallas Morning News

Notes: Jennings gets over his nerves
Right-hander Jason Jennings hadn't pitched since last August, so he was a little nervous about that and about making his debut in a Rangers uniform on Sunday. But Jennings overcame his nervousness, as he pitched two scoreless innings against the Royals.
