Darvish wants to prove himself in final year of Texas deal (Yahoo Sports)

Yu Darvish marked his five-year anniversary as a Texas Ranger this week. ''It's not much about my contract, but coming back from Tommy John surgery,'' Darvish said through his interpreter at the Rangers' winter banquet Friday night. Darvish is entering the sixth and final year of the contract he signed with the Rangers in January 2012 after seven seasons in Japan.
