Padres Claim Mark Hamburger Off Waivers

By Mike Axisa | June 25, 2012 at 2:39pm CDT

The Padres have claimed right-hander Mark Hamburger off waivers from the Rangers and optioned him to Triple-A, the team announced. Jeremy Hermida was transferred to the 60-day DL to clear a 40-man roster spot.

Hamburger, 25, had been designated for assignment late last week to clear a spot on the roster for Roy Oswalt. He appeared in five games for Texas last year and has spent this season at Triple-A, where he has a 6.55 ERA with 7.3 K/9 and 4.2 BB/9 in 45 1/3 innings.

    Now trade Chase Headley for David Freese, and then swing a deal for Phil Coke. Come see the Padres! Everyone gets Hamburger, Freese, and a Coke!

    Someday I hope he plays on the same team as the University of South Carolina’s young shortstop Joey Pankake. Yes, pronounced pancake.

    To make room on the 40 man roster for Hamburger, the Padres released Hot Dog.

    Adding to the assembly line of lame going on here:

    What does Mark Hamburger say when the need to move his bowels arises?

    “Musturd.”

    If Hamburger ever gets traded for a PTBNL or cash, will the report read “___ will pay the Padres Saturday for a Hamburger today?”

    Oddly enough, when you look up this transaction on Canal+ Sports’s site, it appears the Padres picked up Mark Royalewithcheese.

    I thought this was an Onion headline at first. Then I realized it wasn’t the Tigers so they couldn’t fit in a Prince Fielder fat joke in there.
