wtlobos Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 T.R. Sullivan's report....http://trsullivan.mlblogs.com/2011/11/21/rangers-sign-joe-nathan/ Nathan gets about $14MM over two years, Feliz to the rotation. Chances of re-signing CJ are looking a lot slimmer now. He'll look good in those new Marlins uni's. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxBroadcaster Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 not a fan of moving Feliz to rotation..he has one great pitch a terrible slider and a worse change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratface Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I've always been a Joe Nathan fan, but, unfortunately, I'm afraid this signals the end of C.J. Wilson's days as a Ranger. I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clawsnstripes Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 of course getting a guy like nathan will be great if he comes back to his true form that made him one of the best closers in the last few years. feliz to the rotation doesn't scare me near as much as feliz in the 9th. i don't think we were going to break the bank for wilson in any case, and i wouldn't either. this could be a great move for the rangers if all goes right.

Stoney Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Ogando Lewis Holland Harrison Feliz If thats the rotation, not necessarily in that order, it can win you the division. Now what does that do your bullpen. Nathan gets hurt and he will, do you move Adams to closer or shudder Uehara? Ogando? Feliz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnumber11 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I think this is a great move if Nathan can stay healthy. I posted on here late in the season that the bullpen made me nervous and sure enough the bullpen cost the Rangers a World Series title. The only problem is that this is just one move, you still have Adams, choke-a-hara, and others that failed in the playoffs. This doesn't solve the bullpen issues.

cheaptrick77 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Nathan will be given uniform #63 until C.J. Wil$on is over-paid by another team ... then it will switch back to #36. OH ... after sleeping on it, I like the Nathan signing ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberhammer Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 As long as he can stay healthy, he throws a heavy ball, though it's not the 96 he used to throw. His 92-93 heavy fastball may do some good in the ballpark coupled with his offspeed. I bet Feliz will feel much more comfortable in the rotation. After all, that's all he has ever done before getting into the league. And whoever said he had a terrible slider has never seen his. It's not terrible, by any means. He doesn't control it that well, YET! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
