 deseretnews.com Rogers gets better with age Deseret Morning News Web edition
Texas Rangers lefthander Kenny Rogers, 40, is eight innings shy of a Texas team record in scoreless innings with 31 straight.
Rogers (5-2) isn't throwing pitches by batters anymore, like he did when he had 39 consecutive scoreless innings for the Rangers in 1995 or when he pitched a perfect game in 1994.
Repeated requests this season to speak with Rogers, including one since his last start, have been denied by Rangers officials at the pitcher's request.

But when Melvin replaced Grieve as the G.M., he was willing to deal Lowery to bring Buford to Texas, and installed him as his new centerfielder for the 1995 season.

Buford was a disaster, and Melvin started searching desperately for a new centerfielder, someone who had the range to cover the broad expanses of center field for the Rangers (particularly with the plodding Rusty Greer and Juan Gonzalez at each corner), while still hitting enough to contribute to the lineup.
