Rangers Announce Rotation

[LJMets1989]

@JeffWilson_FWST: #Rangers name rotation: Tanner Scheppers, Martin Perez, Robbie Ross, Joe Saunders and Nick Martinez.


I don't know these people. Are they prospects? Are they any good? Anyone? Bueller?

Reminds of the scene from Major League...."Who are these %$#^ing guys?!?!?!"

Scheppers was a top prep pitcher that's been pitching in relief.
Perez was one of the top pitching prospects in the minors last year.
Ross had a sub 3 ERA out of the bullpen over the last two years.
Joe Saunders should be known by anyone that follows baseball.
Martinez is their #12 prospect(according to John Sickels) and BBA rates his curveball as the best in their organization.

Darvish, Harrison and Lewis should be back around the end of the month, anyway.

I should probably clarify that I was being somewhat facetious. Scheppers and Perez' names were familiar, though I'd never have been able to place them, and of course I know Saunders. Just amazing that a contender is sending out a rotation of guys who...let's say you wouldn't expect.

The name I recognized was Saunders really. Poor Rangers have suffered heavily from injuries this spring especially among the pitching staff, but several of the positions players will be out a while, too.

I hear they are trying to get Scott Baker.......Bedard might get a call after all.
