F the Houston Astros
I tried telling people from the start not to count on Feliz or Lewis this season. Nobody believed me.
I have said the same thing all along

ESPN Dallas reporting this morning Harrison was pulled from his rehab start with numbness in his fingers. Hope he's not having another flair up of the thoracic outlet problem. In any case still too soon to pencil him into the Sept rotation!
Don't believe he's ever had a problem with thoracic outlet syndrome.

he did according to this:
Harrison, who underwent two back surgeries on April 23 and May 1 to repair a herniated disk in his lower back, will likely be sent back to Arlington to be examined by Dr. Keith Meister. Harrison missed much of the 2009 season because of surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. That's a condition where a rib bone presses against a nerve and can cause numbness in a person's hand.
Hmm. I thought the surgery was in his low back.

if Harrison comes back strong next year and we re-sign Garza and with the way Perez is pitching, what do we do with Ogando and Feliz?
I foresee a starting staff of Darvish, Holland, Garza, Harrison and Perez and a pen of Cotts, Frasor, Nathan, Ross, Scheppers and Soria which leaves 1 spot open for either Feliz or Ogando
Feliz and Ogando in the pen, Frasor probably doesn't get resigned, or Nathan's option isn't picked up
think they pick up Nathan's option. frasor has been too good to not re-sign

A decision has to be made somewhere, there's no room
Ogando and Feliz are already under contract, unless Feliz can actually start the year in AAA and work on his command then thats another option, not sure if he has any options left, but I doubt it
The most likely option going forward though is that Frasor doesn't get re-signed
okay I think they both have been mainstays in the pen but let them walk

Just like Adams and Uehara.
Nathan is teaching himself right out of a job for next year. He's teaching everything he knows to Scheppers. I highly doubt Nathan is back next year.
I don't remember what his option year was money wise. I thought it was a really modest number at like 5 million and if I am Texas I would exercise that option and just have that depth in the bullpen. If need be you can always trade him mid season and get something for him but nothing leads me to believe Nathan will be anything but really damn good next season as well.
