[USML Announce] Hot Dog! Nathan Saves Riptorns' 2012 Season

[Brad Jansen]

ITEM:  The Texas
Rangers<http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/_/name/tex/texas-rangers>believe
they bolstered their bullpen and starting rotation Monday by
signing four-time All-Star reliever Joe
Nathan<http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/_/id/4044/joe-nathan>to be the
team's closer as hard-throwing Neftali
Feliz <http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/_/id/30149/neftali-feliz> will make
the move into the starting rotation.

WINNER: Riptorns' positive pennant hopes shine brighter with Joe Nathan
secure in closer's role. Team can focus on categories other than saves in
2012.

LOSER: Feliz's post-season meltdown confirms Winick's fears that this
youngster does not have the stones to close. The Question now is: does he
have what it takes to start? ERA/WHIP soar in heat of Arlington Stadium.
