Melvin and Rivera

Here is what Melvin had to say about Rene Rivera getting a start if Olivo is suspended.

Melvin just drives me crazy. He has a choice to run out a young kid who can't catch, an old guy you can't hit, or Rivera.

Why not give the kid a chance and see how he performs. Who gives a crap about Texas!
