Derek “Dutch Oven” Holland
The Rangers’ second year southpaw made his season debut Wednesday night, dealing six scoreless innings to beat the A’s and earn his first win of the year. After the game, Holland was interviewed by FSN’s Emily Jones and asked if he liked the nickname “Wonderboy” that some people had bestowed upon him. As Jimmy Traina points out at SI Hot Clicks, Holland said he preferred something else. Yes, I’m guessing you know where we’re going here and it’s obviously a play on Derek’s last name. The natural question is whether the guy really is Dutch. Who knows? At least Holland can be proud he now has something in common with Jessica Simpson.
