[USML Announce] Hot Dog! Nathan Saves Riptorns' 2012 Season

[springkerb at aol.com]

I like the "secure in the closer's role" part.  Nice marketing.  (Why worry about the 4.84 ERA?)

So what's the over/under on the following?
  1.  Date Brad tries to move Nathan.
  2.  Date Nathan loses the closer gig.

Just askin', 

Mark

ITEM:  The Texas Rangers believe they bolstered their bullpen and starting rotation Monday by signing four-time All-Star reliever Joe Nathan to be the team's closer as hard-throwing Neftali Feliz will make the move into the starting rotation.

WINNER: Riptorns' positive pennant hopes shine brighter with Joe Nathan secure in closer's role. Team can focus on categories other than saves in 2012.

LOSER: Feliz's post-season meltdown confirms Winick's fears that this youngster does not have the stones to close. The Question now is: does he have what it takes to start? ERA/WHIP soar in heat of Arlington Stadium.
