No surprise here: Padilla cleared waivers meaning no team in baseball wanted to take on his remaining $8 million contract. This means that Padilla will start on Sunday against the Red Sox. The Rangers are hoping that this move was a wake up call for Padilla and that he will start playing for the team instead of himself. Do you think Padilla will straighten up?
Other Notes:
Don't expect Hamilton to come back anytime soon. He is not feeling any better and he has been diagnosed with a sports hernia. If surgery is required (good possibility) than he could be out as late as September. There is a new surgery out there that only requires 2 to 4 weeks recovery time that Hamilton is hoping to take which would be welcomed by Rangers' fans all around.
In hindsight, how does the Andruw Jones pick up look now? He is an 8-time gold glover that Wash is hoping steps up in Hamilton's absence.
Jones' 2009 Stats:
.278 5 HR 14 RBI
