This will be the first big league camp for Kiker, Scheppers, Moreland and Tracy. Smoak and Frostad were in camp last year. Smoak, the Rangers' No. 1 Draft pick in 2008, batted a combined .290 with 12 home runs and 57 RBIs in 106 games for the Arizona Rookie League Rangers, Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Oklahoma City in his second professional season. He played for the Team USA that won the gold medal at last year's Baseball World Cup, where he was voted the tournament's Most Valuable Player after matching a U.S. record with 9 home runs in the competition. Smoak is expected to start the season at Oklahoma City with Chris Davis returning as the Rangers starting first baseman. Tracy, who hit .279 with 26 home runs and 107 RBIs at Firsco, and Moreland, who hit .311 with 16 home runs and 85 RBIs at Class A Bakersfield and Frisco, could join Smoak at Oklahoma City. Kiker, who was the Rangers No. 1 Draft pick in 2006, was 7-7 with a 3.86 ERA in 23 starts and two relief appearances at Double-A Frisco. Scheppers was drafted in the supplemental first round of the 2009 Draft but didn't sign until Sept. 17. His only professional exposure was in the Arizona Fall League. Frostad, 27 and a member of the 2008 Canadian Olympic team, combined to hit .238 with four home runs and 28 RBIs in 76 games for Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Oklahoma City. The Rangers now have 13 non-roster players invited to camp including pitchers Willie Eyre, Clay Rapada and Geoff Geary, catcher Kevin Richardson and infielders Matt Brown, Esteban German and Ray Olmedo. --
