| Date | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 2012-01-26 13:00:00 | Did Derek Holland finally figure it all out? Does he have any room to improve from last year's performance? If he does, along what kind of stats he would offer in his prime? (Jay from Vancouver) | Obviously, Holland figured out a few things in 2011. The good news is that he still has more to figure out, as the changeup can certainly improve. I don't like projecting stats because I'm not very good at it, but I think Holland can be the type of #3 starter that can throw one-hitters when he is on and give up five runs in five innings when he is not. Consistency could make him a #2. (Jason Parks) |
| 2012-01-26 13:00:00 | Who grades out better for the combined hair & mustache package: Tim Lincecum or Derek Holland? (Bryant from San Diego) | Lincecum grades out higher. Holland looks like a NAMBLA alert come to life. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-10-04 13:00:00 | Going forward, pick one: Matt Harrison or Derek Holland? (Or from DENTON!!) | Tough call. I'll go with Harrison. He's reading books now. The future is his. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-06-14 13:00:00 | I have a very strong pitching staff in a long term keeper Strat-O-Matic 16 team league and I only need five starters. Which five of these would you keep? Josh Beckett, Matt Cain, Tim Lincecum, Zack Greinke, CJ Wilson, Jordan Zimmermann, Clayton Kershaw, Derek Holland, Alexi Ogando, and Chris Narveson. Keep in mind I can keep them forever. (jhardman from Apex, NC) | Lincecum, Kershaw, Greinke, and Cain seem like obvious choices. I'd probably go with Beckett for the last spot, though Wilson might be safer, given Beckett's age and injury history. (Ben Lindbergh) |
| 2011-03-02 13:00:00 | Who closes if Feliz starts? (johnklein from northeast) | I'm convinced they'd make a trade of some sort to add a right-handed veteran, because I guess I'm more than a little doubtful they'd go old (Arthur Rhodes or Darren Oliver) or young (Derek Holland) from what's effectively a list made up of lefties, at least as far as their best internal options. (Christina Kahrl) |
| 2010-10-25 13:00:00 | Derek Holland looked great in the LCS. Has he secured a starting spot in 2011, and if so, does he have David Price upside? (maxfawcett from Edmonton, AB) | You'd think so, and while that's a very high standard to set, Holland has tremendous upside. And if they ever tire of using Feliz as a reliever, you could see a Ranger rotation every bit as easily associated with youth and greatness as Price and his compadres. (Christina Kahrl) |
| 2010-06-10 13:00:00 | 12 team 5x5 single season, I have two DL slots, currently occupied by Derek Holland and Michael Gonzalez. Should I replace either with Orlando Hudson, cut Hudson, or cut Nate McLouth or Chipper Jones from my bench.
Also, have you played God of War III, and if so were you put off at all by how violent some of the game was? (Bill N from Buffalo) | God of War's combat bores me. I don't mind the violence, but that's really the selling point for it IMO. I'm also someone whose favorite part of Gears of War is sneaking up on a baddie with a chainsaw bayonet, so I might not be the best person to ask about that.
It might be time to cut Nate McLouth--it's not like anyone is going to snag him off of waivers if he starts to hit, because his current line is so awful that he won't show up on anyone's radar unless they are beyond desperate. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-04-27 13:00:00 | When will the Rangers begin to admit their mistake and promote Derek Holland to replace Rich Harden in the rotation? Harden is a bullpen killer with his 4.1 inning outings. (Kevin from Dallas) | Both Holland and Brandon McCarthy are carving up the PCL, giving Texas some options to change up the rotation. Harden (17 ip in 4 starts) and Feldman (7.50ish r/g) are the subpar candidates to date. Harden's history and stuff make him a strong candidate for the Kerry Wood treatment and a permanent shift to the bullpen. I doubt they would make such a move without a DL trip for Harden, , which would be the excuse for the transition. Shouldn't have to wait too long for that. (Clay Davenport) |
| 2010-03-26 13:00:00 | Follow up, Wilson - "he's a lefty who can miss bats." Sounds a lot like Derek Holland, another rotation candidate they passed on... (Jake from Chicago) | Yes, but Wilson's 29 and has had success at the major league level. Holland is 23 and was beaten like a rented mule last year (6.12 ERA). The Rangers are contenders, and it may make more sense for Holland to hone his skills at Triple-A (where he has just four innings of experience) or in the bullpen. (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2010-01-26 14:00:00 | Which young dynamic duo would you choose for your team long term? Neftali Feliz and Derek Holland or Chris Tillman and Brian Matusz? (Chad from Arlington) | Feliz/Holland, I think. The combined upside is higher. (Tommy Bennett) |
| 2009-10-13 14:00:00 | What were your impressions of Derek Holland's rookie year? (Trevor from Fort Worth, TX) | Uneven and very promising, but I guess I'm the sort of optimist who believes that if you hand Mike Maddux great raw material, you're going to get results. (Christina Kahrl) |
| 2009-10-05 16:00:00 | Eric, where do you see Derek Holland in six months - bullpen or back of the rotation? (CJ from SF) | Rotation. The Rangers wanted to bring their young guns like Holland and Feliz up and start them out in the bullpen. Make no mistake, both are going to be starting pitchers. (Eric Seidman) |
| 2009-09-21 14:00:00 | If the Rangers bring back their current team, with minimal to no free agent additions, do you see them likely performing worse, the same or better next season? (ScotMartin from TX) | Well, I certainly think Derek Holland will improve given the tantalizing glimpses we've seen of him, and the addition of Neftali Feliz to the rotation will be a big deal, too. I'm less optimistic about the low strikeout rate guys repeating their success - Millwood, Hunter and Feldman - because if anything should go wrong (such as losing a tick of velocity to fatigue) they won't be nearly so effective.
I also think that the limitations of their low-OBP offense are glaringly apparent. They desperately need to find guys who can get on base to take advantage of the power bats they have in that lineup. They've got one regular above .340. (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2009-09-17 14:00:00 | How has Derek Holland's MLB debut changed your opinion on him? What should Rangers fans expect from him next season? (ScotMartin from TX) | I don't think my opinion on him has changed very much. I don't think he was completely ready, but the Rangers certainly needed him. I've certainly seen him dominate at times, and that's the thing -- he at least shows you he CAN do it, which puts him way ahead of most -- he just needs to do it consistently. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-09-08 13:00:00 | Where would you rank Derek Holland, in terms of breakout potential, heading into next year? (Kevin from Fort Worth, TX) | He needs to keep the ball in the park more, which will be tough in Texas, but that's his main flaw. He's a sleeper pick I think, because if he does rein it in, he's going to put up good numbers. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2009-08-17 14:00:00 | Standard keeper league, who do you like better long-term, Derek Holland or Joba Chamberlain? Congrats on the new gig! (Paul from Fort Worth, TX) | Me personally, I'd go with Joba. But full disclosure: I have a much, much better track record picking hitters than pitchers. (Ken Funck) |
| 2009-08-19 14:00:00 | Jay, assuming you think that the AL East crown is probably settled, how do you see the wild card battle playing out? Will it be just between Boston and Texas? What are the keys to watch for, outside of Wakefield's return? (Nick Stone from New York City) | Hello, Nick! At this point in the season I'm having a hard time taking the Rays seriously as Wild Card contenders given their inconsistency on both sides of the ball, so I do think it will come down to the Rangers and Red Sox. Earlier this year I'd have said it would be difficult to imagine the Sox struggling this much for this long given their roster, and that it would be even tougher to envision the Rangers maintaining their hot start given their pitch-to-contact ways. The Sox have had a lot of injuries, not only among the players they knew were health risks to begin but also to the players representing the first line of defense against them, and while I like the deadline moves they've made, particularly Victor Martinez, right now they're a mess. The Rangers have had injury problems as well, and done a very nice job augmenting their team in-season by calling up Derek Holland and Neftali Feliz, and as minor as it is, I like their acquisition of Pudge for the stretch.
I can envision this race coming down to whose young pitching holds up best under pressure -- Buccholz or Holland/Feliz. It's bigger than that, of course, but that's what I'll be watching most closely. (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2009-07-31 14:00:00 | I know this is premature...but who cares? Derek Holland or Jon lester longterm because Holland looked downright nasty last night. If that is a sign of things to come, watch out. (Jack from LA) | Holland, but it's close. And boy, was that a good start. The Mariners, yeah, but still. (Joe Sheehan) |
| 2009-08-05 13:00:00 | But Cardinals fans are stupid. Why else would they live in that boring sweatbox they call St. Louis?
Derek Holland seems to have the stuff to be a solid starter in 2010...just typical rookie struggles? (Gray from Chicago) | Oh man St. Louis, are you going to take that from Chicago? Homers are his problem. His walk rates aren't very high, but they are too high for those homer rates and maybe that park. It's a shame he doesn't keep it in the park more, because the Rangers can actually catch it this year. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2009-06-05 15:30:00 | Areyou concerned with the performance of Derek Holland? (Jay from Dallas) | He's 22, has a K/BB of 2.40 and has been victimized by a .337 BABIP and 65% strand rate. So.. no, not concerned. Just because players are top prospects doesn't automatically mean they will come up and dominate right away. Give it some time. (Eric Seidman) |
| 2009-05-28 14:00:00 | I know he got knocked around a bit, but I really like what I saw out of Derek Holland. He thre strikes, missed some bats and never had one major implosion. Yankees kill lefties as it is. Your impressions? (Ryan from NJ) | I share your impressions. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-05-14 13:00:00 | Any word on when Derek Holland may be moving into the Rangers' rotation? (goiter6 from MN) | No, but I wouldn't count on it being soon. I'm also not sure how you stretch him out -- longer relief stints? Send him back to Oklahoma? (Will Carroll) |
| 2009-04-28 13:00:00 | When do you foresee Derek Holland being put into the rotation? (Gray from Chicago) | I would say after the All-Star break. The Rangers are taking the old-fashinoned approach to breaking Holland in to the major leagues, starting him off in low-leverage relief situations. It's a good idea that has worked well in the past. (John Perrotto) |
| 2009-04-06 13:00:00 | The A's have taken Trevor Cahill and Brett Anderson, highly regarded pitching prospects with little experience over A-ball, and put them in the Opening Day rotation. The Rangers have taken Neftali Feliz and Derek Holland, highly regarded pitching prospects with little experience over A-ball, and put them in AAA, with Nolan Ryan saying they will likely initially pitch out of the bullpen when they do get to the majors. Which path do you think is preferable? (X from Y) | I lean towards the latter, although the pitchers in question are so different that the divergent approaches probably work best for each pairing. It's worth noting that breaking in pitchers in Oakland is much different than doing so in Arlington, so you can push the envelope more. (Joe Sheehan) |
