Astros GM Jeff Luhnow announced that the Astros have claimed right-hander Mark Hamburger off waivers from the Padres, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com (via Twitter). San Diego designated the 25-year-old for assignment on Thursday.
Hamburger was designated for assignment twice inside of 30 days with the Rangers also DFA'ing him in June. The right-hander owns a career 3.99 ERA and 8.1 K/9 rate in 198 minor league games.
He was found in McDonalds
2012 World series, here we come!!
More interesting news………. Royals sign John Taco.
Did they get fries with him?
Well, at least he’s not chopped liver.
Great name ! I say that with a *Grimmace* :)
Astros acquire Hamburger from Padres off Waivers would have been a misleading title.
That’s ironic as I just claimed Hamburger off my grill.
Hamburger, Josh Judy, Schlitter. Quite the year for claims and funny names.
What a steal for Houston!
Those Hamburgerlers!
I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for Hamburger today
Legally, they can’t refer to his stuff as “filthy” without violating at least 14 health codes.
Thank you, folks, you’re far too kind. I’ll be here all night. Or at least until Starbucks closes.
This is the third time this season this guy has been moved the Hamburger jokes are official old now, everyone :P
I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a Hamburger today.
Son and prodigy of Neil Hamburger. Seriously, these comments are hilarious.
