Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson will participate in the Texas Rangers' spring training workout Monday morning before that day's game against the Cleveland Indians, reports MLB.com. While Wilson will be in uniform for the game, Rangers manager Ron Washington said Wilson won't bat.
The Rangers selected Wilson in the Rule 5 draft last December. He spent two years in the Colorado Rockies' minor-league system, batting .229.
"The guy has had a lot of success and he has a championship attitude," Washington told MLB.com."We're going to give him a chance to talk to our young kids and see what happens. Maybe [shortstop Elvis Andrus] and some of those young guys can hang with him and see what he has to offer."
