MnSoxFan Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 The one guy I hated to lose last year, here is what BA has about him, in a report on Rangers prospects. Ready For Takeoff: Under Fuson, who as vice-president of baseball operations oversees both the Rangers' scouting and minor league departments, the organization prizes pitchers with a feel for the strike zone and a knack for pitching. Josh Rupe, acquired from the White Sox in the Carl Everett trade last summer, shows both and has the stuff (including a good sinker and one of the organization's best sliders) to be a middle-of-the-rotation starter.

Chisoxfn Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I made it no secret I was sad to see Rupe go. The Rangers got a good pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Just in case anyone is wondering both Rupe and Anthony Webster (also in the Everett deal) are at high-A ball. Rupe made one start and had 4 shutout innings with 3 k's and 3 hits. Webster is batting .237 so far with only 2 extra base hits and 10 k's.
