I watched McCarthy pitch in Chicago and always felt he would be a solid MLB starter. At the time, Sox fans were miffed that Kenny Williams would move Brandon. A couple years later though, most Sox fans are more than satisfied with John Danks. At this point, it appears the trade is even.

McCarthy’s progress is extremely important for the Rangers this season. Coming into this season, I think many people believed that if McCarthy could stay healthy and pitch well, the Rangers could contend for a division title. Although I wouldn’t go quite as far as Tom B, I would agree that it appears McCarthy is going to be a solid, major league starter going forward, provided he can stay healthy. I’m not convinced he can be a top of the rotation starter, but I do think he will be a solid #3.

I think it is also worth noting that O’Day appears to be a terrific pick up. Our bullpen has struggled tremendously this season and O’Day looks like a young Chad Bradford; not necessarily a shut down set-up man, but a respectable situational reliever. Good move by Daniels to nab O’Day for nothing off waivers.

McCarthy is putting together a pretty good year, He just has to stay healthy and keep going out there every fifth start and he could be an ace. There are good signs that this Rangers staff is jelling. Just a couple of bodies away from being formidable.
