Analysis:
It didn't take long for Desmond to get a start in center field, as the Rangers hinted at in camp. The move allows the Rangers to get Justin Ruggiano, who crushes lefties, into left field against southpaw Wade Miley. This won't really affect Desmond's fantasy value much, but the outfield versatility will allow him to stay in the lineup most days regardless of who is on the mound.
