do you realistically believe that this team is suddenly going to be competitive in 2020? I believe that it will be 2021 or 2022 before the Rangers are talked about as being relativeI'm not the one on here making absurd predictions for how the rangers do things in 2020

Jose Leclerc's role likely expanding in 2019
I really don't get the point the manager is trying to make.
"But he might be too valuable to pitch more than one inning. We don't want to just limit him. I think to limit him just to say he's our closer, I don't think it's fair to him.""Perhaps functioning like Andrew Miller does. 1-2 innings in the high leverage situations

I don't see how it isn't fair to him to be simply a closer. Isn't that the ultimate compliment you can give a reliever. Why aren't veteran closer treated so "fairly" more often. lol
It seems like he is speaking a lot of double talk to do something for a reason he doesn't want to disclose.
I tend to think he is just not clearly saying what he has to say instead of purposely trying to be misleading. I got that impression about something else he said once before.I have wondered why a coach does not bring in their best one inning pitcher in the 7th or 8th in a tight situation witch the other teams best hitters up perhaps with men in scoring position and the bottom of the order due in the following inning.
The traditional easy of doing things is not always the best. You may be right in him being non specific but I only read article. Ther e may be more to the report the writer omitted
