What did he do? Or didn't do?

ljshorty89 · **Re: Cut Jim Edmonds jihad -** 05-04-2008, 05:04 PM

He just hasn't been the same guy offensively since that Post-Concussion Syndrome....

I could have told you that. Everyone knew that would be the case. Everyone but Kevin Towers and a couple of Pads fans I guess.

Well, that and the fact that he's 38, has an average of .177, and 1 HR this year...

Misjudged another fly ball today, horribly.

It's been a pattern all season long.

And he's not hitting worth shit. He's making the rest of the Padres "offense" look like all stars.

Don't worry, DePo is working the phones to bring help among ripe pickings such as Jason Grabowski, Jayson Werth, Cody Ross, and Jason Repko to shore up the offense.

They should keep Adrian, Kouz, Bard, Hairston, Peavy, CY, Wolf, Ledezma, Meredith and Bell and start rebuilding right now.

Dreams do come true.

Padres released outfielder Jim Edmonds.
That was quick. The Padres acquired Edmonds during the offseason and now cut him loose after 90 at-bats despite owing him $6 million. Edmonds has hit just .178/.265/.233 while showing decreased range in center field, but giving up on him this early is still plenty surprising. Jody Gerut has been called up to replace him on the roster and could see time in center field along with Scott Hairston. Chase Headley is still waiting in the wings at Triple-A.

Someone will pick him up and put him in LF where he belongs. Headley went 5-5 yesterday and the Padres picked up Sean Henn from the Yankees off waivers.

Sucks to be him.

The jihad has seen some success.

Now they need to bring Chase to the bigs.

When the Cardinals first started looking to trade him, I thought that they would never find someone to pay the majority of his contract. I guess I was wrong.
