Can Bleier become a starter?

Would be quite a story for a pitcher to make his MLB starting debut at 30 years old.

Austin Bibens-Dircx has done that this year at age 32.   His MLB debut, and he started several games for the Rangers before going to the bullpen.

Dude should get a medal just for surviving as long as he has with that name.

I botched it though.

It's Bibens-Dirkx.

My bad.

I thought it was Justin Bieber-Dork, so what do I know?

Do we have to ask this question for every successful relief pitcher?

Rangers must really feel like crap... beat by the worse pitching staff in the American League

Unfortunately, we do!  Showalter hasn't mentioned Bleier, but he did mention Miguel Castro as a potential starter for next year.
