Old man El Duque Hernandez who last pitched in the majors with the Mets in 2007 signed a minor league deal with the Rangers today. That year he went 9-5 with a 3.72 E.R.A. in 147.2 innings but has struggled ever since with injuries. Don't expect much from a guy that is either 39 or 43 years old. He will start in AAA Oklahoma City and if he somehow makes it to Arlington, I fully expect him to be as valuable as Kris Benson has been. That is the same Benson who has an E.R.A. well over 8.00 for the season. What do you expect from El Duque?
Other Notes:
Blake Beavan, 2007 1st round pick, has been promoted to AA Frisco. I usually don't start paying attention to prospects until they get to AA, so now is the time to watch Mr. Beavan.
Hopefully the rain will hold off so we can see some baseball.
