Rangers designated RHP Rich Harden for assignment.
The Rangers couldn't wait to get Harden off their big-league roster. He posted a miserable 5.58 ERA and 1.66 WHIP over 20 appearances this season and will not have his $11 million option exercised for 2011.
Harden has problems and might need to take a look at having surgery on that surgery while he is still 29 or at least will be in November. He had a decent 2009 but this year he just sucked a fat one in the AL. I hope a small market NL team takes a chance on him to help round out a rotation.
