Rangers 2012

[GTBrian23]

Darvish goes tomorrow night in Seattle against King Felix. I'm hoping the match-up lives up to its potential!

Im excited about this one as well

Angels and A's get each other tonight while we get Seattle. This could work out well. The A's are 5 back and Angels are 8 back. The A's could really bury the Angels right now, or the Angels could win a couple and both teams could be 7 back or so. Rangers just need to win a couple out in Seattle.

I hate these late west coast games, it's almost damn impossible for me to stay up to midnight to watch em.

I have always hated the fact that all our division foes are on the west coast. I stay up late normally, but I hate waiting that long for the games

I usually wake up at 5:30 am during the week, and staying up to midnight makes for a very rough next day.

I understand haha. I was in the restaraunt industry for the longest time so generally my workday started between 3-5pm

Per Newberg and Lonestar Ball, Feliz is headed to the 15 day DL. Feldman will take over his spot in the rotation:

According to at least one local report, Texas will place Neftali Feliz on the 15-day disabled list today with an elbow injury. Results of a Monday morning MRI exam are reportedly pending. Texas will evidently move Scott Feldman into Feliz’s rotation spot and recall right-handed reliever Yoshinori Tateyama from AAA Round Rock.

So Feliz looks like he's out for a month and the Rangers might look into getting Roy Oswalt.



SEATTLE -- With pitcher Neftali Feliz not throwing for at least four weeks, Texas Rangers GM Jon Daniels and manager Ron Washington are keeping their options open for possible moves. They haven't met to discuss the situation, but Daniels said nothing is out of the question.

Daniels acknowledged that free agent Roy Oswalt is a possibility but that he's not an immediate option.

"He's not ready to go," Daniels said. "He hasn't thrown to hitters yet. It'll definitely take him some time. I don't know how much time, but he's not an immediate option."

Oswalt, 34, hasn't pitched in a major league game since Game 4 of last season's NLDS for the Philadelphia Phillies. He had a 3.69 ERA in 23 regular season starts last year.

Alexi Ogando is also a possibility, but Daniels said he's not an option to jump into the rotation immediately. Ogando is not stretched out to be a starter, though Daniels said that wouldn't take long. The Rangers also want to look at his role in the bullpen and how it would affect its makeup.

"He's shown that he can perform at a very high level," Daniels said. "He was an All-Star starting pitcher last year. There's definitely an attractive side of putting him in the rotation, but we've got to be realistic. He's not ready to do it, sitting here today."

I think that the media is trying to make more out of Oswalt than is there. I highly doubt they will pick him up. But, you never know.

I heard a clip earlier with Nolan Ryan saying that they are looking into Oswalt further. Don't be surprised to see him signed.

They already watched Oswalt throw in the last week. He would be a decent addition.
