Jim Edmonds Released By Padres



The Padres cut Jim Edmonds loose this afternoon after just 101 plate appearances and ate the $4.75 million or so remaining on his contract. The move mimics the one made by Toronto when they parted ways with Frank Thomas.

Like Thomas, Edmonds wasn't producing up to his established level. A .178 average and 498 OPS is about as ugly as things get and, when you toss in the step Edmonds lost in center, he was hurting the team more than he was helping it.

Yeah, Edmonds is done. Unlike the Big Hurt, there was no surprise here. Edmonds has been washed up for a few seasons now.

Re: Jim Edmonds Released By Padres

They got rid of him,a nd still Chase Headley is not getting the call up. What does this kid have to do to get a shot at the bigs. He did everything that he could do during spring training, and they still sent him down.
