Its one thing if you had the one major injury, Bucholz has never been able to stay healthy

I still think you could make the case that they should’ve brought him in for depth. One or two of the “Tommy John” crew probably weren’t going to pan out. Volquez could be done and miller is still struggling.

Splitting hairs to me, If we had most of y'all would be complaining about keeping a non-existent prospect from getting his shot due to another MASH unit member

It is my opinion that we need plenty of those “cheap low risk” vets to give the kids on the farm time to develop. The worst thing you can do is bring a guy up too early in my opinion.

Look at what happened to Luke Jackson, chi chi, etc.

Seems like you're hunting for a reason to take issue about something, anything even

Luke Jackson flamed out in AAA. He wasn't rushed at all. He was just a dud as a starter.

To me, the only really good pitching prospect that we have rushed in the last 10 years or so was Feliz. Even with him, if you viewed him as needing to.just be a reliever, then he actually wasn't rushed. If you viewed him as a potentially very good starter, like I did, then he was rushed.

Holland was rushed. The dude stunk it up for a year or two, got sent back down to learn how to pitch to major league hitters, and came back up.

Ok Murph. You can tune this game in. Stars tied the series up 5-1. :suds:

Oh I was flipping backhand forth from the Stars game, to the Rangers game to the Longhorns baseball game. All W's! Loved it!
