Mr. Anna Benson is the Rangers 5th starter
Mr. Anna Benson, better known to some as just Kris Benson, has been named the Texas Rangers fifth starter to begin the 2009 season. Although it’s more of a reflection on the piss-poor state of Texas pitching (they haven’t had a good rotation since 1996), it’s good to see Benson, a former first overall draft choice, back in the majors after a two year absence (last seen in 2006 with the Baltimore Orioles). It’s even better to see Anna Benson still around the game, as she’s very adept at the double-switch, as well as the hidden ball trick. So we’ll use this small bit of news as an excuse to run some Anna Benson photos:
