He's thrown 150 plus innings once in his entire 6 year career, and that was 189.2 IP back in 2004 -- he hasn't approached that number since. I think it's a risky move, but I can see why the Rangers would make it. He's a guy that has ace type stuff, but because of his injury troubles and his erratic control, he'll probably never reach that level..

This is a bit disingenuous considering he pitched 141 innings last year and 148 the year before.
Obviously injuries are a huge concern, but let's not act like he's barely pitched for the last five years.
