SURPRISE, Ariz. _ By the end of Thursday's workout, every Texas Rangers pitcher in camp, save for the injured Brock Burke, will have thrown their first bullpen session of spring training.
That's 37 pitchers for those scoring at home.
Eleven of them have either already made the team or have strongholds on roster spots, assuming they stay healthy.
The others are competing for a few spots, showcasing themselves for other opportunities, positioning themselves for call-up duty, or getting an initial taste of big-league camp.
It's an interesting group, one that manager Chris Woodward said has better stuff than last spring's relief corps.
Here's a sampling of them, with six pitchers to watch this spring.
