Thanks to our own JonDawg for the heads up. I wish they'd make him a starter.

Dude, I loved him in the Bad News Bears. Best shortstop ever.

@Jaypers413: Any chance Texas lets Scheppers start, or is he Feliz V. 2?

@jimcallisBA: I think they're easing him into pro ball. Wouldn't rule out starting.

Not much need to keep using the bullets he has left in the minors, bring him up to the MLB bullpen.

Scheppers could have went straight to a MLB bullpen to start this season. I think they are trying to rebuild his arm strength and then try to make him into a starter, starting next spring training. Scheppers had the second best 'stuff' of ANY pitcher in the draft if he didn't have the shoulder injury there is no way he would have lasted past pick #8, Cincinnati.

Can't wait for the call up!

Had no idea Olney had confirmed it yet. Got word this morning that he got the bump, but wanted to verify I could say anything without getting in trouble, haha. He won't be in AAA long, believe that. To squash any rumors, he WILL be in the pen once he's called up in a few months.

I hate everything about the pitching-side of the texas organization.

I'm surprised they haven't asked Feliz to dabble as the Cowboys QB.
