I think the "should Vicente Padilla make the All Star game" talk should be dying down now.

I hope Padilla doesn't fall into a big slump

And have 2-3 more crappy starts before the trade deadline. I’m a lot more worried about his trade value than his AS eligibility.

Kiko Calero

He’s on the OK Redhawks roster.

That's nice.

I like that. They are a bit shorthanded, from what I understand, and if he can get his act together, he might be worth a look later on this season.

Meh

He’s 33 and hasn’t been good since 2006. I guess it’s low risk though.

And yet

there will probably be someone there less deserving. The all-star game is kind of a joke to me, but I still enjoy the HR derby, despite ESPN’s execrable broadcast of it.

Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted.

Don’t know if someone already caught this, but Sullivan’s blog is reporting that Hurley is out tomorrow with a tight hammy, and Feldman will start…and that Padilla has a strained neck and may miss a start.

Great

Just great. Is that the ceiling I see falling toward the Rangers again at a high rate of speed?

I'm too lazy to look this up, but

does any other team have more DL time this year than the Rangers? And the DL time won’t even count the various nicks that have not resulted in a stay on the list but maybe should have (Benoit comes to mind.)
