"Of all the plugs and patches that the Texas Rangers have had to deploy this season, none has generated more attention or stirred more anguish than the void at second base.Ian Kinsler's position.His position, were it not for the fact that of 125 Rangers games this season, Kinsler has been healthy enough to start at second base only 75 times.Which is how Andres Blanco turned the Rangers' 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins into a Tuesday night to remember.And which is why 13-year veteran Alex Cora found himself in the Rangers clubhouse late Tuesday night.And which is why, finally, the last Rangers chapter in the disappointing saga of Joaquin Arias appears to have come to an end.Add in recently acquired Cristian Guzman's quadriceps injury, and that's a lot of baseball spikes, just to replace one second basemen.Kinsler was having that kind of year, though. His 2008 season was highlighted by being named to the All-Star team, and his 2009 campaign featured 31 homers and 31 stolen bases.Let me suggest, however, that before his latest groin injury, Kinsler was enjoying his best season -- best in the field, best at filling his role in the lineup.The news Tuesday was that Kinsler has been cleared to resume working out and is expected to return to the starting lineup soon.Blanco will be ready, all the same. He clearly was ready Tuesday night.The 26-year-old veteran, acquired from the Cubs shortly before the season opener, stroked two doubles and ignited the game-winning rally in the seventh inning off Twins starter Carl Pavano."
