Littleton to replace Tejeda

by Brett Perryman on Jul 7, 2007 5:00 PM CDT in News

Wes Littleton will take Rob Tejeda's spot on the roster, presumably until Tejeda is needed again after the All-Star Break. The Rangers haven't released their rotation for after the break, at least other than Wright starting on the 13th, but they can move Tejeda back to fifth with no problem if they choose. That would put his spot in the rotation at the 17th.

Update [2007-7-7 20:23:59 by zywica]:AP, via DMN, says that Tejeda won't be making a start during his down time, but will be throwing for Mark Connor and Dom Chiti. They also confirm that he will make his next start on July 17.

Jamey Wright

Can someone give me one good reason he's starting on the 13th?

let me guess

you would rather see hurley, right?

No

Hurley needs to stay in AAA and off the 40-man roster.

oh my mistake

who was the guy that was arguing for a reason not to have hurley on the ml staff?

i think he wants CJ

to take his place.

One picture is worth 1,000 denials.

Yes

We know he can be good reliever, but instead of wasting major league innings on Jamey Wright, let's see if he can be a guy who can pitch 180 innings a year instead of 60.

We can always put him back in the bullpen next season.
