But, you also have to admit BMac is far, far closer to having a full healthy season the Thompson ever was.

Great interview!
This might be Durrett’s best interview to date. I nominate him for breakout Rangers reporter for next year.
Rangers need to bring in a practicing master of the cutter… Roy Halladay. That, I think, would pay dividends beyond the 30 starts Halladay would make as Feldman, Hunter, McCarthy continue to refine their use of the cutter and mix it with their other pitches.

Cutter
Didn’t stats show Feldman to have the best cutter in the league last year?
(Now whether or not he knows how to use it like Roy is a different story all together.)
Yep. You're right on both accounts. Halladay's cutter was 4th, just behind Haren and Danks.

I assume you're using PTV's?
I didn’t realize they had a leaderboard for those now. Awesome.

In a struggle to find secret songs that you keep,
Wrapped in boxes so tight, sounding only at night as you sleep." ~Jeff Mangum; Neutral Milk Hotel

Looks like Omar is going to the Whitesox.
Knew he was going, just sad to see him leave.

this really is a nice interview by Durrett
the answers seemed candid and the questions flowed quite well with the conversation

McCarthy gives a pretty good interview, don't he
