Rangers Void Khalil Greene’s Contract

By Tim Dierkes | February 25, 2010 at 12:20pm CDT

The Rangers decided to void Khalil Greene's contract, reports MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan.  Greene signed for $750K in January but was not able to report to camp due to social anxiety disorder.  Sullivan tweeted on Monday that club officials say there is a 100% probability Greene's replacement will come internally.

    I’m sure that won’t affect them too much. They could deal with that internally for sure.

      Agreed. Marcus Lemon is actually a really good defensive infielder. He did a good job in the Arizona Fall League in 2009. If not him, Joaqin Arias is still on the Rangers.

          Right. I’m just saying that he is there.

          lol okay gotcha. i would like him to be there everyday guy when he is back and agian guys he was a part of the a-rod trade lol

          yeah. He’s still fairly young as well. It seems like the A-Rod trade was so long ago but it wasn’t.

          Plus, the Rangers could always make a trade as well. For example, I don’t think it would take a lot to lure Augie Ojeda to the lone star state.

          Also, looking back at the out of options page. If Eric Patterson is DFA’d, they could always claim him. Same with Joe Inglett. They could re-claim him.

          i know what you mean it seems as a-rod has been been in pin stripes for a while but that trade wasnt long ago and i think your right with ojeda i think he has fell out favor with the team

    That’s unfortunate. It sounds like this disorder is going to ultimately cost him his career.

      It can be gotten over, it just takes a long time and the medications make it near impossible to play.

    i know its not khalil’s fault, but waiting til inglett slips away through waivers and the market being bare, this is quite a blow.
    i would guess joaquin arias goes from his spot on the 40 being in jeoprady to the glove wizard back up MI in the style of vizquel and …greene…

      yeah, but Greene is a medicore shortstop, and Grienke is a future hall of famer.

    Best of luck to Khalil. I’ve suffered from depression for a good portion of my life — disorders like that aren’t easy regardless of what you do or how much you get paid. Hopefully he gets the help he needs so he can enjoy his life.

    Joey Votto had alot of depression problems last year alot because of him dad’s death and Zack Greinke had alot of depression and anxiety issues that all most made him retire. So hopefully them two can reach out to him or he reach out to them and over come these issues good luck greene

    Best of luck to Khalil. Many of you people may not realize that this is usually a chemical imbalance in the brain. It is NOT something he can control. I’m guessing the people saying to ‘man up’ follow along with Tom Cruise and the church of Scientology that psychiatrists(people that have gone through medical school and not some wacked out religion someone just made up) are all quacks.

      Seriously. If you don’t understand this, do some research, because if you’ve ever been around someone who has a serious depression/anxiety problem you’ll completely get why Khalil just can’t play right now.

    i’m sure we’ll all be this generous the next time JD Drew sets out with a phantom leg or back injury and won’t play through the pain.

      There’s a severe difference between not being able to suck it up and play through a little physical pain, ala Drew or especially Carl Pussvano.

      Having your life ruined by the gripping disorder of anxiety limits you in all facets of your day-to-day, least of all trying to perform in front of thousands of people.

      JD Drew isn’t so bad, but I have no sympathy whatever for somebody like Pavano who stole $40M to sit on the DL for the better part of 4 years.

    Some of you are just flat out terrible people. This kind of thing can really effect one’s life, you can’t just decide not to be depressed.

    It’s a really sad story, actually.

      Social Anxiety and Depression are completely different. Do some research.

          You’re original statement is wrong. Social Anxiety is not “sad”.

          Social anxiety disorder = s a d = sad = I’m not at all for him.

    Why are so many posts removed? It makes the discussion exceedingly difficult to follow. Just let the people speak.

    Zack Greinke has social anxiety disorder. He up and left baseball a few years ago because of it. He takes meds for it, and has been able to play and win the Cy. Why would the meds prevent Khalil from being able to perform at a high level? Do the meds affect position players differently? Seems a little odd.
