Ron: won’t happen. I interviewed Daniels about this last fall and the bottom line is that he’s learned his lesson.

I’ll take that bet for any amount.

Who wants to bet that Holland gets traded before he pitches a full second season for the Rangers? With Daniels at the helm, believe it.

rob m.: Yes. I think that if the Rangers handed Holland the job of #5 starter coming out of spring — like the CWS did with Danks in 2007 — he could post 130 innings with a 5.50 ERA, and probably do a little better than that in both categories.

Mike,

Could Holland, right now, put up numbers similar to what Danks did in 2007 for the CHW?

lebo: Keith Law reported that he was sitting 93-96 in his second outing.

What is his fastball’s speed this spring. After such and increase you worry about it dropping back to 91-93

Thanks

I agree Mike
The kid seems to have confidence in himself and has a good head on his shoulder and is mentally tough.
I hope he gets things worked out by July and comes up to stay.
It seems with him the only ??? is when is he going make it and there are no ifs and buts.
I think by latest he be up here by end of July.

This is the news we have all been waiting for. Let’s just hope that we can not “DO ANYTHING SILLY” with this kid and hurt his arm, nor use him up before his time. Go Rangers!
