SP a priority?


The Ranger's current historic hitting slump overshadows their  thin SP depth. With BMac and Harrison on the DL, might JD be looking for starting pitching?

"It might," Daniels said Sunday. "We probably have more internal options in the bullpen than in the rotation. [Starting pitching] is something we're looking at but there are not that many starting pitchers available and I don't expect that to change. Not many starters get moved before the [July 31 Trade] Deadline. We may need to deal with that from within."

After Tommy Hunter, the depth chart is Moscoso, Nippert, Jennings or Mathis. JD has said he sees El Duque as a reliever. Feliz is in the OKC bullpen. You can never have enough pitching.

is that a real quote?

A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.

The really sad part is that quote doesnt seem too far off

from something they might actually say

"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it." - Mitch Hedberg

I can't find it now.

But there was a Sporting News article with the buyers and sellers from each division, and the Rangers one went like this:

(Paraphrasing)

“The Rangers find themselves in an unusual position: First Place. What’s not unusual, is that they need pitching. Expect them to dangle some highly rated prospects for a big time starter. They can afford it: their system is ranked #1 by Baseball America.”

Blah.
