Which pitcher to pick up?

[.]

- Francisco Liriano
- Andy Pettitte
- Neftali Feliz
- Derek Lowe
- Scott Feldman
- Ervin Santana
- Daniel Bard
- Hiroki Kuroda

Also, who would you rather have? Juan Pierre or Everth Cabrera?

Ervin over Liriano for me, I like him better as a bounce back candidate. Feliz is really young and the rest aren't worth mentioning.

Pierre over Cabrera based on value and probable performance but Cabrera isn't a bad option, plays SS and should rack up plenty of steals.

Feliz. Highest potential and pitching coach Nolan Ryan said he will be an April starter.

Feliz. Highest potential and pitching coach Nolan Ryan said he will be an April starter.

Nolan is NOT the Rangers' pitching coach - I think it's still Mike Maddux. Feliz does have some huge upside, but will likely be in the pen - the Rangers have Harden/Feldman/Holland/Hunter/Lewis/McCarthy/Harrison all as potential starters.

I like Liriano's upside this year.

Agreed with Pierre over Cabrera, though if you need a late round MI, Cabrera could pick you up some runs and SB.

I like Ervin best. His velocity improved to almost the same level as his '08 season down the stretch. The UCL sprain caused him discomfort, but wasn't severe enough for him to undergo TJ. Both Ervin and Liriano have nice upside, but I trust that Ervin when healthy has better command of his offerings than Liriano.

I'd rather have Pierre too. If you need SS/MI cover, Everth Cabrera is probably the choice if you need the speed there.
