When will the Rangers get spme pitching?

Question

Their 11 game winning pitcher Vicente Padilla has an ERA of 4.41.

Answer 1

Regrettably not in my lifetime

Answer 2

They've had pitching.  Look at John Danks, Edinson Volquez, Chris Young, Armando Gallaraga...oh wait, they traded all of them away.

Honestly though, they've got a young rotation at this point outside of Millwood and Padilla.  Eric Hurley has been strong since coming up, Luis Mendoza has had his flashes (and some black-outs), Matt Harrison made a strong debut, and they've got some good prospects in the minors.  Keep an eye on Neftali Feliz, he hit 101 mph twice in his Double-A debut.  Strikeout machine.

Answer 3

I know they need to start looking for some good pitchers. They can't get to 1st place in their division with just solid hitting. They're in 2nd place right now and if they get maybe 2 solid pitchers, they could easily tie or even get into 1st place.

Answer 4

if they trade Josh Hamilton and Ian Kinsler to the Giants

Answer 5

Not soon enough. =( I'm shooting for next year.  The only reason we're winning games now is because of hitters like Hamilton, Kinsler, Young. Certainly not because of pitching. Same old story..great defense and offense...team full of potential to make a run but won't because they'll fall short due to pitching.
