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

[springkerb at aol.com]

Don't I get Jurjjens back automatically, since I had him when he went to the NL?  If that's not the rule, it should be.

Mark,
 
The answers to your questions are:
 
1.       Too late.  He’s already trying.
2.       Too early.  How can he lose what he doesn’t yet have.
 
What you’re missing is that Brad is just trying to stay ahead of the impending disaster for his team.  The Yanks and the Braves are in serious discussions to exchange Jair Jurjjens for Brad Lee’s golden boy Nick Swisher.  If a little spinning about a 37 year old sore armed former closer makes Brad Lee feel better for the time being, I fully understand.
 
That is all.

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.
