Kyle McClellan (shoulder) said he's thrown "16-17" bullpen sessions this offseason, with six of them at maximum effort. McClellan was limited to just 18 2/3 innings last season prior to undergoing shoulder surgery, but he's all systems go at the beginning of spring training. The Rangers will give him a chance to win a rotation spot, but his best shot at making the Opening Day roster is likely as a long man.
