1 0 All Reedster^893 Texas acquires Padilla from Philadelphia 12/12/05, 12:06pm I like Padilla... I think this helps the Rangers quite a bit. From the article: &box-Padilla, 28, has a 51-51 record with a 3.95 ERA in seven seasons with Philadelphia and Arizona. He came to the Phillies with Omar Daal, Travis Lee and Nelson Figueroa in a trade for Curt Schilling in July 2000, and posted back-to-back 14-win, 200-inning seasons in 2002-2003. Padilla slipped to 16-18 the past two seasons, and new Phillies general manager Pat Gillick had been actively shopping him this winter. Padilla earned $3.2 million last year and is eligible for salary arbitration.-box& [Reedster from Sylmar/CA] Replies:
