[...] Jeff (the writer) Miller has a good, in-depth feature on O’Day, and how he went from a failed walk-on at the University of Florida to a key piece of a playoff contender’s bullpen. [...]

I would love to eavesdrop on the Texas bullpen and listen to almost-Dr. O’Day and free spirit Mr. Wilson have a bit of repartee’.

I would like to personally salute O’Day for his service in a beer league. This one’s for you, Darren!

@Big Kev: Yes, the Angels had the first crack at him and passed on him.

Jeff, always look forward to reading your work. Sounds to me like the Rangers need to hire Kyle as a trainer.

Agreed with the others – another exceptional piece, Jeff. Loved the MadLibs intro…

Awesome coverage.
I’m definitely a fan of O’Day. Who wouldn’t be? 22 K’s in 22 innings!?
This further demonstrates the Ranger’s management’s increased capacity to recognize, scout, and acquire incredible young talent.

Thanks Jeff, great read. Since he’s not a starter it’s hard to predict when O’Day will be in the game, but if you happen to catch him you’re in for a visual treat. The rare sidearm swing looks like he’s cracking a whip.
