Rangers Designate Mark Hamburger For Assignment

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | June 22, 2012 at 3:49pm CDT

The Rangers designated Mark Hamburger for assignment, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports (on Twitter). The move clears a 40-man roster spot for Roy Oswalt, who joins the team tonight.

The Rangers acquired Hamburger from the Twins for Eddie Guardado in 2008. The 25-year-old right-hander appeared in five games for the Rangers 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.

    Humburger might have avoided this fate if he had some good cheese.

      Roster moves always put him in a pickle.

          Hitters could easily ketchup to his fast ball.

       The great irony of this comment is that fangraphs actually credits Hamburger with slightly above-average fastball velocity.
