Prostate Cancer Afflicts Texas Rangers Hitting Coach

Doctors diagnosed Texas Rangers hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo with prostate cancer. Jarmillo will undergo surgery late next month. Jarmillo wants to time the surgery and recovery, which could take as much as 10 days, so that he can be back with his hitters by the time the season starts in early April. Relieved that doctors found the cancer, Jaramillo said "[the cancer] really doesn't scare me."
