<div class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: ">ITEM: The <A href="http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/_/name/tex/texas-rangers" target=_blank>Texas Rangers</A> believe they bolstered their bullpen and starting rotation Monday by signing four-time All-Star reliever <A href="http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/_/id/4044/joe-nathan" target=_blank>Joe Nathan</A> to be the team's closer as hard-throwing <A href="http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/_/id/30149/neftali-feliz" target=_blank>Neftali Feliz</A> will make the move into the starting rotation.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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. </SPAN></div>
