Well put from ESPN.com's Rumblings:

Blockquoted paragraph
Padilla
 
• Beware the Padilla: Meanwhile, it’s funny how you’re not hearing the same glowing reviews on Vicente Padilla, another talented arm who is almost certain to become a free agent once the Rangers determine once and for all that they can’t deal him. But for a guy whose stuff is still good, it’s astounding how terrified teams seem to be by the rest of Padilla’s loose-cannon act.

“Here’s a team [Texas] that needs pitching, and they let a guy like that go?” said one NL executive. “What’s that tell you?”

“They’re tied in the wild card, and nobody has enough pitching, and they owe the guy money, and they still didn’t want him around?” wondered another NL exec. “It just makes you wonder: How bad was it?”

Now?

He was about as Toxic when we signed him. None of the things Padilla is doing are new, and there are reasons Phillie and Arizona was happy to dump him despite his arm. I was surprised we signed him long term. He is one of those guys who should always be on a one year contract.

exactly

they were great together and I don’t mean to slight Rojas, but Barnett makes his legacy that much better.

Barnett has shown improvement.

He’s not all there yet, but he’s a whole lot better than what he was. Give him at least ’til next season and if home-run calls are still floundering, then yes, give him the axe

he has no credibility

How can criticize when he doesn’t know the game? At least Rojas played minor league ball.

Andrus/German look good out there in the infield.

Of course, Kinsler is still the better bat, but it’s not like we’re throwing a crappy player out there until he returns.

In either case

its someone who dazzled in his first year as a Ranger and disappointed as with a sophomore slump.

there are better nicknames for Feliz.

Scott Felman with that curve he had tonight is an above average pitcher

with a better K-Rate… its been something thats been coming for a while, but that development will be key to him becoming more than just a good 4th or 5th starter
