from EG's blog

5:42: Rehabbing Relievers Update – RHP Willie Eyre is scheduled to pitch two innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City tonight. If that goes well, he could become a bullpen option, perhaps as early as Wednesday or Friday. … RHP Dustin Nippert will get a progress report on his back Tuesday. He’s had no pain since beginning his rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco, but told Rangers officials, he’s still lacking arm strength. … Bottom line: The bullpen is what it is at least through tomorrow and probably for the entire Baltimore series.

I don’t think he has any more ceiling than a LAIE, but the situation just annoys me a little. He’s kind of gotten jerked around by the org (I think he was optioned down and called up like 6 times in ’07), and it would have been nice to just see what he could do with a real shot as a starter.
