BP Chats
| Date | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 2012-02-02 15:00:00 | Who do you think has the best group of young (25 & under) starting pitchers including prospects: ATL (Beachy, Minor, Hanson, Teheran, Delgado, Vizcaino, Spruill, etc.), TB (Moore, Price, Hellickson, Davis, Torres, Colome, Archer, Cobb, etc.), or TEX (Darvish, Holland, Harrison, Feliz, Neil Ramirez, Martin Perez, Robbie Ross, Cody Buckel, etc.)? Thanks. (Kristen W. from Canada) | I'd take the Rays, given that they have the defending AL RoY and the guy who could win it this year, but Kevin Goldstein may disagree. That's no knock on the Rangers or Braves either... all three of these teams are in enviable positions in this regard. (Cory Schwartz) |
| 2012-01-26 13:00:00 | Piggybacking off of the Shelby Miller question: Does Neil Ramirez's fastball behave the same way? (MonkeyEpoxy from College Station) | It does. Ramirez has excellent extension on the pitch and creates good plane to the plate. Add the velo and the movement and the pitch becomes more than just its radar gun reading. (Jason Parks) |
| 2012-01-24 13:00:00 | Hope you can help me! In an AL-only dynasty league, which of these prospects would you NOT trade for JJ Hardy to fill a dire need at SS - Leonys Martin, Travis D'Arnaud, Dellin Betances, Matt Moore, Neil Ramirez, Anthony Gose (jtanker33 from Dayton) | If you're all in for this season, then Moore is the only one I'd say is untouchable. That said, you shouldn't need to deal some of these other guys for Hardy either. D'Arnaud and Betances should be taken off the table if at all possible. I'd try to deal Ramirez first. (Derek Carty) |
| 2011-12-14 13:00:00 | Thoughts on Neil Ramirez? Seems fairly sexy to me. (Ron from Ohio) | Hardest worker in Rangers system; plus-to-plus-plus FB velo; hammer CB; improving CH; tough as shit; needs better overall command. He's going to be a good major league pitcher; ceiling of 2/3. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-10-04 13:00:00 | Does Neil Ramirez start a game for the 2012 Rangers? Does Martin Perez? (Or from Dallas) | Both will start at some point in '12. Unless one of them is traded in the off-season, which I wouldn't rule out. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-08-10 13:00:00 | Neil Ramirez has obviously had a great season any way you look at it. Is he a Top 100 prospect? (ramjam36 from Dallas) | For me? Yes. For others? I don't care. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-06-17 13:00:00 | Jason, I have just recently been hearing buzz about Neil Ramirez. What are your thoughts on him? (LoyalRoyal from LV, KS ) | Never heard of him. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-05-09 13:00:00 | Do you envision Neil Ramirez being the eventual ace of the Texas Rangers' staff? (Erik from Plano) | He's taken a huge jump this year, but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-04-13 13:00:00 | I guess it's just a spot start, but are you surprised Neil Ramirez was bumped to AAA? Is he ready for that level, even on a temporary basis? (Ryan from NY) | It's just a spot start, so technically he doesn't have to be ready for the level. That said, I think his stuff can miss bats at the Triple-A level, but his overall arsenal isn't quite ready. I think he should be pitching in Double-A very soon, as he was 92-96; T98 this ST and his CB has re-emerged as a bad mother. Ramirez getting the call to AAA (even if just a spot start) has a lot to do with his work ethic and maturity. Ramirez arrived in camp in November. He's been busting his ass for months to take a step forward and it shows in the stuff, so I'm glad to see him rewarded with this challenge. It says a lot about how the Rangers feel about him. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-04-18 13:00:00 | I'll try this one more time since I've tried this question on about seven chats thusfar. I can go see Myrtle Beach and Hickory one time each. Which starting pitcher should I focus on to make my trip to see? (jhardman from Apex, NC) | Robbie Erlin or Neil Ramirez for Myrtle Beach; Roman Mendez for Hickory. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-02-22 13:00:00 | Thanks for the chat Jason. What do you expect out of Neil Ramirez this season? Do you think he still has the potential to be an above average starter? (ramjam36 from Fort Worth, TX) | Probably not. He has the raw stuff to be an above-average reliever, though. (Jason Parks) |
| 2010-08-20 15:30:00 | What are your thoughts on Neil Ramirez? He'd been a giant disappointment since the 2007 draft but suddenly this year he's showing signs of becoming a respectable arm. Are you a believer? (James from Stamford, Texas) | Yes . . . kinda. It's still a good arm, and sometimes those take time. There's still upside there. (Kevin Goldstein) |
