Was talking more about immediate possibilities.

I don’t understand why we would want to take good starting prospects like Font, who seems to have the frame and body to endure starting and pitching multiple innings, and convert them to relievers very early in their development stages. I know Jason Parks and others think Roman Mendez is probably a reliever in the long haul, but shouldn’t he be given every chance to continue starting as long as he continues showing progression and a development of three or more pitches? I know Feliz was brought up as a reliever, and Robbie Ross was this year, but both of them had more experience pitching in the upper minor levels than either Font or Mendez, with Feliz starting for a year in AAA and Ross in high A/AA for a year. It makes sense to supplement the roster with relief candidates from the minors, but i think in this case, it would hurt the development of both players. The Rangers do not have any top caliber starting pitching prospects at this point, unless you count Buckel as that (which I dont, as his ceiling is more of a #3 or #4), and would benefit from being able to develop more starting pitching, not only to join the Rangers rotation in the future, but also to use as trade chips when necessary.

I feel he could play ALL corners, if needed. I’m tired of the “CD Bulletin & Fliers” about the “prospect status & maturity”, but he’s young and… well, maturing. I doubt Moreland is looking over his shoulder though… Mitch has moxy. He’ll take 1B and run with it.

What I do want to see against Boston, come April 1st are: Wilson, Lewis and Holland, in that first series. If Kirkman, Harrison are in the BP, for that series alone… I’d love that too. Total shutdown.

Again. by rangers4eva http://newberg.mlblogs.com/2011/02/05/the-rockies-and-michael-young-again/#comment-91 Tue, 08 Feb 2011 02:01:11 +0000 http://newberg.mlblogs.com/archives/2011/02/the_rockies_and_michael_young.html#comment-91 I can not imagine the leader of our team in another uniform and I don’t understand management’s reluctance to put Young at first and Moreland at DH/OF/1B. It would seem if they value Young as much as they should, and say they do, it would not even be a question.

What message does this send to the players they hope to resign like CJ, Josh, and Nellie?

My sports heart is completely crushed. A pox upon JD and Nolan for this horrible decision.
