I’d say you’re the lucky one then....

Should’ve been Kyle lohse or whoever else larussa could find starting that damn game.
And we should have started Detek Holland again instead of Harrison.

The last couple of days we have discussed 4 starting pitchers who couldn't stay healthy for us. Can you imagine what this team could have been the past few years had Holland, Feliz, Ogando and Harrison all stayed healthy and kept pitching the way they did in the rotation prior to their injurirs?

Jist for fun, include Perez piting the way he did prior to his injury as well.

60 DL looks to open up spot for Pence and another on the way. Glad it is not torn
About time we start to have some luck if it that's what ya call luck. No surgery is good luck I suppose.

Minor won't last long at this rate of 35 pitches

They can have him. Anything can happen in twelve yrs. May hurt them in the pocket book for a long time. I had rather spend that money on the best pitching available.

The cost of doing business in baseball just keeps going up. When it gets time to compete again, the Rangers had better be ready to spend much more than they ever have before. They will not be able to only sign their own when they are given home town discounts.

It seems like pitchers break down even more often than position players though.

We once went after the best pitcher available and came close to signing him, but we lost out to another team. Then we turned to the best position player available and signed him instead. It was a good thing we lucked out and didn't get who we wanted or we would have been saddled with Cliff Lee instead of Beltre.

I remember another time we went after the best pitcher available and came away with Chan Ho Park.

Now, when we went after the seventh or eighth best position player in Shin-Soo Choo, we did get burned.

There is a limit before the bottom falls out and it will.

Haven't we been hearing that since the best free agents were Richie Zisk and Lymon Bostock though?
