Date	Question	Answer
2011-04-13 13:00:00	Why was it that Mark Lowe was viewed as the potential replacement if Feliz went to the rotation? (pfe1223 from Dallas)	Because he has the necessary stuff to pitch in that role. He wouldn't have been my first choice because his command isnt sharp, but the stuff is legit. (Jason Parks)
2011-04-13 13:00:00	Why is Mark Lowe a member of the Rangers at this point? Is he still hurt? (jhardman from Rangerland, NC)	What did Mark Lowe do to Rangers fans? If he had his shit together he wouldn't have been a throw-in to the Lee deal. He's going to be up and down. That's why he's a 7/8 type and not a guy who is a hot commodity in the game. He has good stuff. He never had sharp command. (Jason Parks)
