He'll need more than a 2-seamer to get through that lineup; Texas has arguably the best fastball hitting lineup in baseball (if they don't, we do).

This is the same manager that refuses to bump Josh Hamilton down the lineup despite Hamilton being "50%" by Hamilton's own estimation. He's stubborn as hell, if he's decided he's not starting someone on short rest he's probably not changing his mind.
