April 17, 201412 yr The Texas Rangers on Wednesday signed Scott Cousins to a minor-league contract, with a twist. Cousins, 29, has appeared in 135 major-league games with Miami and the Los Angeles Angels, with starts at all the outfield positions. He was released from a minor-league contract by Boston on April 2. Cousins the outfielder is no more. He will join the extended-spring-training team in Surprise, Ariz., to start the conversion to left-handed pitcher. Cousins has never pitched in a professional game. Cousins is best-known for a play in 2011 in which he injured San Francisco catcher Buster Posey with a hard slide. That play triggered a push to lessen home-plate collisions. That was mandated by a rules change before this season. http://rangersblog.dallasnews.com/2014/04/texas-rangers-add-outfielder-with-major-league-experience.html/
April 17, 201412 yr Be funny if the first batter he faces as a pitcher was Posey. And drills him with a pitch.
April 17, 201412 yr Interesting, maybe he can learn that crotch grabbing thing from fellow converted pitcher Resop
April 18, 201412 yr And drills him with a pitch. And Posey breaks his other ankle charging the mound.
