However, the Rangers have somehow managed to tread water with Ogando, Matt Harrison, Colby Lewis and Nick Tepesch all missing starts for various lengths of time this season, but they'd obviously be inclined to bring back Ogando as soon as possible if he can convince them he's healthy after a bullpen session.","date":"Fri May 24"},"fullName":"Alexi Ogando","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"The Rangers intend to put Ogando back in their rotation this season, and the memory of his 2011 in that role might generate much excitement surrounding the idea. In his career as a starter -- 29 starts that season, one more in 2012 -- Ogando has 17 quality starts, a 3.49 ERA and 1.12 WHIP, though as a result of having to dial down his fastball a couple ticks, his strikeouts-per-nine ratio is a modest 6.67. Ho-hum, that merely means it's worth more careful examination of his most challenging matchups. To that end, Ogando's extreme fly ball tendencies make him more susceptible to stinkers in bandboxes, such as Rangers Ballpark against a loaded lineup, but there's generally a lot to like about a guy with a 95 mph fastball. He might be capped in the 160-170 innings range, but as a late-round pick with upside, he's plenty attractive nonetheless.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":1.6,"playerRater15DAY":0.8,"positionRank":55}
