The Rangers have designated Vicente Padilla for assignment.
Dustin Nippert is replacing him in the rotation, and Julio Borbon is replacing him on the 25 man roster.
Wow.

I don't see it as a white flag
The clubhouse didn’t like him and he was expensive. Since he wasn’t in the Rangers plans past this season, it seems like a no-brainer in hindsight.

It’s not like we just gave up a Cy Young candidate or anything. The guy is a headcase who could go out there and throw a 7 inning shut out, be hes more likely to go 4 innings, give up 6 runs, give the team no chance to win and deplete the bullpen.
Losing his “me” attitude and his 4.92 ERA is not a catastrophic thing.

This has more to do with contending/not contending this year. From JD’s quote it sounds like he was a hinderence to the clubhouse. Padilla is very inconsistent, and it gives some of the guys who will be with us time to mature.

But the people who do know him, spend time with him, have said this, and his performance and mindset has not changed… The same issues also still exist around him, so I am inclined to think the drinking problem is also still there…
But, if we want to go this route, nothing anyone of us sais about a player is reasonable because we dont know them, we havent spent time with them, we arent Texas Rangers, so we shouldnt ever look at what the people say about him, those people who do know him, and should just sit back and not think or say anything…

Even if correct. Whether you know him or not, presume that some of the good and some of the bad about Vicente Padilla is exaggerated, or out of context, or both. He’ll sign on somewhere else. Too bad he is/was a disruption to the team.

When it comes to the personal shit, I believe this is the route to take. In all cases. At one time I was guilty about saying certain things about Hank F.

150 mph?
he was in a ferrari? try km/h which is 93 – fast but not ridiculous.
and it is ridiculous that you would just factually state that padilla killed somebody when drinking based on that article – which doesn’t say he killed somebody.
you are basically saying because he has been known to drink and because he got into an accident drivign 93mph that he must have been driving drunk. do you realize how irresponsible that is.
i mean, you’re a fucking nobody. this is more directed at keith law.

Everyone is overlooking the morale aspect.
JD is getting run over the coals for not doing enough for his team by getting a big name before the trade deadline. This shows JD has their back, and gets rid of an obviously douchey guy out of the clubhouse. Looking at all those comments and the bruise on Face’s back, the team is glad he’s gone.
I would put money down that 95% of the clubhouse thinks this is a great move. The guy was warned by being put on waivers and still fucked up.
The players are going to move on and someone is going to step up and take his spot. That’s what a good team and good players do. They’re the Texas fucking Rangers and they’re going to do this thing.

I don't mind saying it now.....
Padilla was actually fun to be around while doing “fun” things, which always involved drinking. He acted just like any other guy out having drinks with the guys.
However, the most I saw him was during this season, and laughingly during his time on the DL and during the swine flu period of time. All I can say is that Padilla loved to play some cards with the boys.
But it’s like any other person you may go out drinking/partying with. They’re fun to be around at those times, but you might not want to work with them, live with them, or be around them in any other activity.
No, I was just there….not going there with him.
