The Denver Post reports that Micah Bowie is probably a lock to stay in Colorado's bullpen now that Ramon Ramirez has been traded to Kansas City.
Why did we just let Bowie go?? He's a better version of King except he can get righties out too.
He was a free agent.
Yeah we don't have room in the pen - he was a good pitcher and a great guy
Yet we have room for Ray King?
JP is still MIA . . .
Schneider 3/4 with a RBI against the Fish tonight.
Church had a two-run homer against the Marlins tonight.
months away.
But no team picked him up, right? I checked the transactions on texasrangers.com
what were Church/Schneider's final lines last night?I know Church had a good night, but i haven't had time to check for exacts.

When I saw his forearm after his first major surgery, last spring, I guess, I gasped. He'd lost much of his basic musculature. Gone from "Wow, bet that guy is a baseball pitcher" to just a normal guy. He didn't seem aware of the change. I doubted he'd get his fastball back unless he somehow rebuilt the whole forearm. Then, this spring, he had another four-inch scar on the forearm. Great interview, really nice guy, but not universally popular in the locker room because he looked like a star and didn't fit the team's blue collar play-hurt mold. Hope he makes it back in Texas. But I doubt it. And I've doubted it for a year.
he won't even pitch in the Minors until May and is playing long toss, but he was A-OK to be our 2nd game starter. WTF?
He passed his physical on Monday and will begin a long-toss throwing program on Tuesday. The Rangers don't expect him to be ready to pitch in the Minor Leagues until late April or early May.
