**Revised after news of Padilla on DL**

Any guesses for the rest of July?

Here is my guess at trying to figure out what it could be. Granted, this is what I think the RANGERS will do, not what I necessarily would do.

Friday - July 18th @ Minn - Millwood

Saturday - July 19th @ Minn - Feldman

Sunday - July 20th @ Minn - Padilla

Monday - July 21st @ Chicago (WS) - Hurley

Tuesday - July 22nd @ Chicago (WS) - Mendoza (Harrison)

Wednesday - July 23rd @ Chicago (WS) - Millwood

Thursday - July 24th - OFF

Friday - July 25th @ Oakland - Feldman

Saturday - July 26th @ Oakland - Padilla

Sunday - July 27th @ Oakland - Hurley

Monday - July 28th vs. Seattle - Mendoza (Harrison)

Tuesday - July 29th vs. Seattle - Millwood

Wednesday - July 30th vs. Seattle - Feldman

Thursday - July 31st vs. Seattle - Padilla

Mine...

post July 31st because of the deadline would be…

Millwood/Padilla (I think one of them is dealt)
Hurley
Feldman
Harrison
Mendoza/Nippert

I also think BMac will come back sometime in Aug and get some starts in before the season ends.

doubletake

I scanned that quickly and thought you said one of Milly or Padilla is dead instead of dealt…

Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted.

Millwood
Hurley

Padilla is traded and Bmac is shut down.

Was thinking about this yesterday

It’s funny that they could actually have ample options if they could stay healthy in July/August, considering the scuffling they’re doing right now. If they’re healthy and not dealt, I’d rank them (as a guess, not in my own estimation):

Padilla
Milwood
Feldman (he’s earned it)
(McCarthy)
Hurley
Nippert (probably need to keep him up one way or another now)
Mendoza (still kind of anticipate him struggling as a starter, but I think he’s in line ahead of a few guys still…at least until he gets bombed again)
Harrison
Gabbard

It’s amazing how good outings by Nippert and Harrison against a crappy Angels lineup give a few warm fuzzies.

Feldman

I think everyone is way overrating him. His ERA+ is 93, which isn’t’ good.

I wouldn’t want him to take innings away from guys like Hurley, McCarthy, and Harrison in the second half of the season.

I also think you have Harrison too low, and that’s based just off the one start last night. I would put him ahead of everyone except the two high paid guys, Hurley and McCarthy.

Well I'd certainly

put Harrison ahead of Mendoza and probably Nippert if I were giving my preference. But they seem to really like Mendoza, and Nippert can’t go down, which is an advantage.

And I just don’t really agree on Feldman. He has had well more than his share of tough luck statistically, and he’s been very consistent for a young Rangers pitcher.
